PETA killed pets, group alleges


<!-- begin content -->from a CCF press release
WASHINGTON D.C. – 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.
Despite having a $32 million budget, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter. PETA employees make no discernible effort to find homes for the thousands of pets they kill every year. Last year, the Center for Consumer Freedom petitioned Virginia’s State Veterinarian to reclassify PETA as a slaughterhouse.
CCF Research Director David Martosko said: “PETA hasn’t slowed down its hypocritical killing machine one bit, but it keeps browbeating the rest of society with a phony ‘animal rights’ message. What about the rights of the thousands of dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens that die in PETA’s headquarters building?”
Martosko added: “Since killing pets is A-OK with PETA, why should anyone listen to their demands about eating meat, using lab rats for medical research, or taking children to the circus?”
CCF obtained PETA’s “Animal Record” filings since 1998 from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Members of the public can see these documents at PetaKillsAnimals.com.
In addition to exposing PETA’s hypocritical record of killing defenseless animals, the Center for Consumer Freedom has publicized the animal rights group’s ties to violent activists, and shed light on its aggressive message-marketing to children.
(The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition supported by restaurants, food companies, and consumers, working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.)

Did You Know?
From July 1998 through December 2007, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed over 19,200 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals." That's more than five defenseless creatures every day. PETA has a walk-in freezer to store the dead bodies, and contracts with a Virginia Beach company to cremate them.
Not counting the pets PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 90 percent of the animals it took in during the last five years. And its angel-of-death pattern shows no sign of changing.

Wow. Wouldn't have guessed that.
Would like to hear PETA's explanation for this.

I'm hardly one to defend PETA (I'm having ribs for dinner later and have a "Meat is murder...tasty tasty murder" T-Shirt)

However, the smarmy outrage in rolltides cut/post deserves at least a devils advocate response.

For starters, the E in PETA stands for Ethical. Yes, I know they act like retards and some of their officials want us to call fish "Ocean Kittens" or something stupid.

The truth is, the animals PETA takes in (and euthanizes) are normally from labs or were being abused/starved on farms etc. Would you adopt a dog that had been chemically tested on? How about a chicken that was blinded? How about a cow that was covered with sores?

In their world (PETA), euthanizing a sick, poisoned or mamed animal is ethical. Maybe it's not to me, maybe not to you, and maybe not to the people who took the time to make the petakillsanimals website. To them however, it is by the looks of it.

Feel free however to contact PETA and tell them you're willing to adopt and maybe they'll find you a dog that had so much bug spray inhaled during testing that its brain is now half eaten and does nothing but vomit blood 24/7.


You sure know how to kill a conversation buddy.

I had a feeling it might be something like this...which is why I was interested in PETA's response.

PETA wants better welfare in regards to how animals are treated.

This makes for better food! I would rather eat off a healthy animal able to roam free than one that has been confined to a small area it's whole life.

This is partially the reason why KOBE is so expensive. Those animals are raised in free roam farms.

Chicken is just gross these days, I can't bring myself to eat it.

nothing wrong with killing puppys as long as you eat them afterwards.

You couldn't be more wrong when it comes to Kobe Beef. These animals are restricted from excercising so the muscles do not get too tough. They are held in very small pens their entire life. They are also fed beer and massaged to fatten them up. They are the furthest thing from "free range" animals you could find. The price comes from the cost of care and the fact that true kobe beef cows are raised in small groups of sometimes only a couple cows at a time for a family farm. Not sure where you got your info about kobe but you are way off on this subject.

well PETA should really keep it's acronym but have it stand for

People
Euthanizing
Tested
Animals

sounds like a much better representation of what this group has become :103631605

since you would like to be the board's PETA spokesperson how do you spin that just 7 years ago more than 1/4 of their animals were adopted and now it's less than 1/2 of 1 percent?

almost time to fry up a sea kitten...
