Press Release | PETA Killed 95 Percent of Adoptable Pets in its Care During 2008

If you at all care about animals this would be a total disgust to you. These people should be shut down!!!!

I do not understand many of their ideas and actions. But they do have something to hear at times.
Even Hitler had a couple good ideas, quite a few bad ones as well.

I left the NRA because I don't support everything they do.

Peta is just a terrorist organization. Their agenda doesn't even make much sense when you see some of the things they do, like what is in this article.

For a long time I didn't know anything was wrong with PETA. If you don't run into any of the bad news about them you can think they're angels. I absolutely agree with many of the general ideas they support, such as stopping cruelty in circuses and encouraging people to keep their pets indoors. Once I saw some negative news articles about them I was awakened and I stopped reading their mail and sending them donations.

Quite a while ago I sent away for tons of pamphlets from them that are designed for people to leave at various places so the public sees them and gets educated about animal rights issues. I never did anything with them and now I don't know what to do with them. Once again, I agree with their general messages, but I don't want to leave out info that says PETA all over it. Should I just recycle it all or cut out every time it says PETA or what?

Mod Note: This thread will remain open in this forum as long as the discussion is centered on the original topic of PETA and their euthanasia statistics. This is not the appropriate forum for a debate on the political aspects of PETA's advocacy attempts.

They are the biggest hypocrites! and of course when I called in someone transferred me to an answering machine.

And what is the suggestion for these unwanted adoptable pets?

If there are not families or people who have the means to walk, care for, take to the vet, feed, love etc. these animals than where shall they go and who or whom shall finance the above referenced needs?

[bigcats]

The suggestion is the same as for any organization charged with the responsibility of caring for animals such as these: find them homes. They're out there, and there would be even more with more emphasis on the preventative measures: spay/neuter, thank you for not breeding, etc. In other words, do your job as an animal advocacy organization.

Now admittedly many of these other organizations aren't doing any better than PETA in this respect but some do and all should. If you can't or won't, get out of the business.

I'm really disappointed in PETA. Years ago they were a decent organization.

Peta has $32 million budget they could use that money to care for and find homes for these poor pets they found homes for 7 of them,if they couldn't find homes then why even take the poor pets to just kill them.
