Hi,
yes. I do.
The basic DVD quality is rather low, they pulled it from a very bad theatrical copy and apparently quite some nudity and violence was cut from this version.
Pets is a sexploitation movie (as close to porn as you can get without it being directly classified as such), one of those which used to run in the drive-in cinema late shows in the late 70ies and early 80ies.
Bishop plays a (pathologically relevant) sadist/dominant and art gallery owner who "collects" docile females of the animal and human variety, "taming" them at times himself.
It's rather funny in general, quite old-guard sexist, there's some classy acting by Bishop in it, who I must say, did this without any tongue in cheek in sight, thus pulling his role off. And I must say kudos, though I suspect he probably did not really grasp what the basic goal was when he signed that contract. Unless he thought no one would notice. ... ;-)
Be cautious who you watch it with though. Some might not react favorably.
Cheers
An

Has anyone got this DVD of Pets (1974, aka. Sunmission) in which Bishop stars?

I remember this movie. Always on in the mid afternoon; have not seen it for decades! It is good nonsense and passes 90 or so mins. The silliest bit is when the Americans make a prototype version of the Chinese counterpart but after a few goes it breaks down to which someone says "The Laser has burnt out!" ?

That's the one!
What a ridiculous concept for a film!
