PeTA KILLS!
Please - Spay/Neuter!
Each day 10,000 humans are born in the US - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them.

PeTA - really stands for “People Euthanizing Thousands of Animals”
Can you BELIEVE this?

PeTA (supposedly People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) euthanized 97% of the companion animals it took in last year! They campaign for donations to help them SAVE all of these animals and find loving homes, and yet they killed 2,981 of the 3,061 animals they promised to save and help get adopted! That means they ONLY SAVED 12 ANIMALS!
Here’s what the article says:
“The Center for Consumer Freedom, a non-profit trade group representing the interests of manufacturers and retailers, formally petitioned the Commonwealth of Virginia to reclassify PETA as a “slaughterhouse”.
An official report filed by PETA itself shows that the animal rights group put to death nearly every dog, cat, and other pet it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 animals. The organization killed 2,981 of the 3,061 “companion animals” it took in.
According to David Martosko, Research Director for CCF…
“It is absurd to classify PETA as a ‘humane society’ when its employees are slaughtering nearly every companion animal they bring in. PETA has killed over 17,000 pets since 1998. Given the group’s astonishing habit of killing adoptable dogs and cats with such ruthless efficiency, it’s only fair that the state of Virginia refer to PETA as a slaughterhouse.”
CCF’s petition was directed to Virginia’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. If approved, the new classification would force PETA to abide an entirely new set of laws and regulations.
The Center of Consumer Freedom has set PETA in its sights because PETA has targeted the companies that CCF represents, such as food makers, department stores, and textile companies.
PETA’s most successful publicity campaigns have been those against the fur industry, arguing that killing animals for fur is akin to cruelty. Yet ironically, PETA itself is killing thousands perfectly healthy and adoptable animals for no better reason than just ideology.”
Now I’ve read the comments from people who agree and disagree with the validity of these findings, but one thing seems clear - PeTA is NOT who they claim to be!
I have alway thought of PeTA as a warm fuzzy organization that cares about animals - but after the research I have been doing, I see that this is DEFINITELY not the case! I will promote the boycotting of PeTA and I hope that those of you who feel as sick about this as I do will join me.
Spread the word - PeTA KILLS!
