PETA - The New Slaughterhouse?

New Data Shows PETA Killed 97 Percent Of Dogs And Cats In 2006

WASHINGTON, DC- Yesterday the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom formally petitioned Virginia's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), requesting that the government agency officially reclassify People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (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. Not counting pets brought to PETA for spaying or neutering, the organization killed 2,981 of the 3,061 “companion animals” it took in. According to VDACS, the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in Virginia was 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA's "kill rate" was 97.4 percent.

“It is absurd to classify PETA as a ‘humane society’ when its employees are slaughtering nearly every companion animal they bring in,” said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. “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.”

The part that you don't understand is that there is no sportsman alive that would support what was going on in that video. It makes me sick to see animals treated that way. Everyone has to remember that the sportsman has done more benefit to the animals that roam this earth than any other group. PETA and HSUS can say what they want but the facts speak for themselves. Dead is dead. It does not make any difference if an animal is hunted and killed by a sportsman or if a cute little dog is given a lethal injection at a shelter, supposedly run by a group of animal lovers and protectors. God forbid my dog ever get lost.

Good post. I am glad to see that I am not the only one exposing PETA & Co for what they stand. PETA is one of those organizations that hides an utterly cruel and uncaring agenda behind the cuddly face they show in public. They stand for exact opposite to what they publicly portray. While PETA should be reclassified as a slaughterhouse they also should take away PETA’s tax-exempt status.

Ahhh...I love that PETA's true colors are finally showing through. Not only are they killing animals they also support certain groups that are directly linked with domestic terrorism.

Looking forward to hearing what comes of all this.
