PETA Kills Pets?
Who knew?
I know this topic came up quite awhile back but I think it’s worth re-introducing.
I got some snail mail recently from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)asking me to buy a membership. I always do research before donating to animal welfare groups because I get so many mailings in a week, and half of the so-called non-profits are shams that spend like 1 cent of a dollar on the animals. (Once you donate to one you get on ALL the mailing lists.)
Anyways, I found a website called PETAKillsAnimals.com. They report that PETA killed 97% of pets in their care in 2006 (most recent year for which stats are available).
97 percent.
This information came to light after a highly puclicized trial of two PETA employees who were arrested in 2005 for animal cruelty. They were found with a roaming “death van” and had been euthanizing pets and throwing them in trash bins. They were, to the dismay of the public, acquitted in 2007.
I wanted to find some back up information to support the claim from PETA Kills Animals and I found out, from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, that PETA killed (“put down”) 14,400 pets between 1998 and 2005. Pets that were supposed to go to homes. In fact, PETA actually told the vets and shelters they picked the animals up from that they would be going to homes and getting adopted out, according to the PETA Kills Animals site.
PETA employees even admitted on the stand that the group frequently kills animals. How frequently? Well in 2006 the group took in over 3,000 animals. Only 12 were adopted out.
This completely shocked me. This is sickening.
PETA’s own philosophy holds that people and animals are equal. It’s President, Ingrid Newkirk, has likened dogs to boys. And coming from a group that works so hard for animal rights and to harm the reputation of animal abusers…
PETA has become every piece the animal killer as the companies it commonly attacks.
So much for animal welfare.
Tell me what you think about this.
They give the word hypocrit a bad name! They are mean spirited people, I know because I’m a REAL animal lover, and I would never think of pulling the asinine stunts they do. PETA is all about CONTROL period! They are very much like the extreme eco-whack jobs who do more harm than good.
But, that’s what you get when you add ism to a word. You get the opposite.
Environmentalism
Feminism
Socialism
You name it. They turn into the opposite of what they are supposed to be. They turn into the very thing they supposedly hate.
Whoa, I didn’t know that. I think that is horrible and am very sad to hear it. They are hipocrits. I’m going to go to the site you listed. Thank you for sharing.
Ever wonder why at dog shows and agility trials the dogs cages are locked? Ever wonder why the dog owners have to pay someone to sit by their dogs? Ever wonder why the dogs don’t have water bowls in their cages at competitions? PETA!!! They poison the dogs that are being shown and have stolen them from their cages because they believe the dogs are better off dead then being made to perform. Have you ever been around an agility dog? Try to tell them they hate to perform the agility courses…
PETA have decided dog shows are cruel without finding out about them- [the dogs enjoy the day out & look forwards to going] so they broke into shows, let the dogs out of their safe carry boxes they rest in when not on the lead, let them out into the road, and some got killed- If i caught someone messing with my dog I wouldnt be responsible for my actions..
Arthritis in canines can be a major hassle that many people never even think of in senior dogs.
[...] PETA actually kills animals that it rescues, then makes up excuses why it does [...]
Wow! I knew they were a radical group and haven’t agreed with what they’ve done in the past, but now this confirms it!
