PETA kills pets
WHAT HEELS: Here's the naked truth about People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), whose campaigns feature naked celebrities who won’t wear fur: The extremists animal-rights group killed more than 95 percent of the pets in its care in 2011, according to documents from the VA Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services that were posted by the Center for Consumer Freedom. The Daily Caller reports:
Since 1998 PETA has killed more than 27,000 animals at its headquarters in Norfolk, VA.
In a February 16 statement, the Center said PETA killed 1,911 cats and dogs last year, finding homes for only 24 pets.
“PETA hasn’t slowed down its slaughterhouse operation,” said Rick Berman, CCF’s executive director. “It appears PETA is more concerned with funding its media and advertising antics than finding suitable homes for these dogs and cats.”
In a statement, Berman added that PETA has a $37 million dollar annual budget. …
PETA media liaison Jane Dollinger told The Daily Caller in an email that “most of the animals we take in are society’s rejects; aggressive, on death’s door, or somehow unadoptable.” …
In 2005, two PETA employees described as “adorable” and “perfect” some of the dogs and cats they killed in the back of a PETA-owned van. The two were arrested after police witnessed them tossing the animals’ dead bodies into a North Carolina dumpster [explanatory link added by The Stiletto].
I heard about them doing this a few years ago. http://www.petakillsanimals.com/ has facts and cites to mainstream media sources to back them up. I've a feeling the rank and file of PETA supporters would be appalled. In one case they killed the animal right there in the driveway of the house they "rescued" it from.
