PETA Killed 95 Percent of Adoptable Pets in its Care During 2008

Hypocritical Animal Rights Group’s 2008 Disclosures Bring Pet Death Toll To 21,339


WASHINGTON DC – Today the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) published documents online showing that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care during 2008. Despite years of public outrage over its euthanasia program, the animal rights group kills an average of 5.8 pets every day at its Norfolk, VA headquarters.

According to public records from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA killed 2,124 pets last year and placed only seven in adoptive homes. Since 1998, a total of 21,339 dogs and cats have died at the hands of PETA workers.

It's down from 97% in 2006. Go PETA.

They give animal protection a bad, bad name.

They really do. It's sad, because there are great, legitimate organizations out there who work to help animals and wildlife, but PETA gets all the attention with their crazy protests and operations.
 
i am not saying i am pro peta or anti peta ( i do love pita bread though)

but, briefly looking through all that garbage and skewed reporting that uses crafty wording to make things sound much different than they actually appear....no where does the site say why the animals were killed/euthanised(sp)

here's an article that has a few answers to your question

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/06/23/EDG11DC9BK1.DTL


"PETA has provided euthanasia services to various counties in that state to prevent animals from being shot with a .22 behind a shed or gassed in windowless metal boxes -- both practices that were carried out until PETA volunteered to provide painless death for the animals." Make that painless deaths for animals that could have found love.

Besides, PETA always has been about killing animals. A 2003 New Yorker profile included PETA top dog Ingrid Newkirk's story of how she became involved in animal rights after a shelter put down stray kittens she brought there. So she went to work for an animal shelter in the 1970s, where, she explained, "I would go to work early, before anyone got there, and I would just kill the animals myself. Because I couldn't stand to let them go through (other workers abusing the animals.) I must have killed a thousand of them, sometimes dozens every day." That's right. PETA assails other parties for killing animals for food or research. Then it kills animals -- but for really important reasons, such as running out of room.

im all for animal rights. hell, i feel bad if I run over a toad hopping its way across the road. but those hippacritical (sp)groups like that are insane. i mean positively INSANE. the fact that they kill more animals then they save should tell many people that this is NOT a animal rights group, its a group for completely and utterly INSANE not to mention STUPID people that our world seems to be so full of.
I am one who also feel that 90% of the world does not think before they do something. therefore my saying... "people are stupid" people dont think, or people **** me off.

sorry... rant over now.
 
Hmmm. This is a complicated subject. It makes me queezy to watch the videos that PETA post of the animals being abused and tortured by slauter house people, breeders, and farmers. I think these things should be regulated and made to be done in a more ethical way than the animal suffering during the death process. The question is though what does PETA stand for as far as their morals and values? Are they killing the animals that are unsavable medically as do the ASPCA? Or are they just killing them because they have no room and want them to be saved from suffering? I agree that killing an animal because there is no more room for them is pretty terrible but to save it from suffering and abuse by a painless death can be sort of a gift. Although I can't stand the idea of killing an animal for whatever the reason. If an animal can live a happy life I say do what you can to make sure that happens even if it means for the animal to sit in the shelter until its own natural death. I really did respect PETA but now I'm very dissapointed in this story. No animal should be killed unless it is unsavable and in horrible pain and suffering. I really do hope that there is another organization that will have stronger morals, values, and ethics to take over this animal rights activism.
