Targeted at both teens and young adults, Human Pets offers a virtual world based on the concept of having humans as pets. All users are animals who can be fed, groomed, nicknamed, and even sold and bought as pets. Players can also earn virtual currency.
Human Pets also offers adult content and activities to its 18-plus-years-old users in the form of optional paid memberships. A portion of the paid membership proceeds are donated to the World Wildlife Fund.
According to Human Pets, the community has grown to 2 million users since first launching as a Facebook app in summer 2007. 15,000 people have reportedly signed up for the independent site since its beta release last week.
