PETA Lacks Quick Response to Horrid Allegations

Posted: March 31st, 2009 | Author: Catherine | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , |

PETA has been uncommonly quiet in its own defense. There are allegations that this supposedly pet friendly organization does not focus on finding homes for pets. The allegation is that there is an unusually high incidence of euthanasia:


“…In a press release sent earlier this week from the Center for Consumer Freedom, it is reported that PETA, despite its $32 million dollar budget, killed 2,124 pets last year, while adopting out only seven.

Yea, that’s right…seven.

…Despite its huge bankroll, PETA does not operate an adoption facility at its Norfolk, VA headquarters—or anywhere else in the world. Nor do their employees attempt to adopt the animals they are responsible for, as evidenced by their killing of 95% of animals entrusted to their care. They run a death camp, plain and simple.”

One would think that an organization would exercise a rapid media response to control the negative impact of such allegations. Surely an organization such as PETA would have the empirical data to defend its pet adoption record.

    Well, PETA is bad, but H$U$ is about as bad. Of the many dogs they rescue, most are killed. BTW, you need some sort of SPAM control on these follow ups…

    PETA and HSUS have only one goal in mind; the total end to humans having domestic animals. They have no adoption facilities because that would require uniting people with other animals, and that would not do. Read Wayne Pacelle’s ideas “one more generation and out” referring to ending domestication of all animals. And just like any fanatic, they do not mind killing to get their way, thousands of animals that just want a home, but getting them a home would go against these peoples beliefs. Just sad.
