People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, is an animal charity that has been around since 1998. It promotes "cruelty free living" Veganism and the abolition of animal slavery. Sounds good right? Wrong.
Animal lovers worldwide now have access to more than a decade#%92s worth of proof that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) kills thousands of defenseless pets at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. Since 1998, PETA has opted to “put down” 23,640 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens instead of finding homes for them.
PETA#%92s “Animal Record” report for 2009, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 97 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2009, PETA found adoptive homes for just eight pets.
Just eight animals -- out of the 2,366 it took in. PETA just broke its own record.
Why would an animal rights group secretly kill animals at its headquarters? PETA#%92s continued silence on the matter makes it hard to say for sure. But from a cost-saving standpoint, PETA#%92s hypocrisy isn#%92t difficult to understand: Killing adoptable cats and dogs – and storing the bodies in a walk-in freezer until they can be cremated – requires far less money and effort than caring for the pets until they are adopted.
PETA has a $33 million annual budget. But instead of investing in the lives of the thousands of flesh and blood creatures in its care, the group spends millions on media campaigns telling Americans that eating meat, drinking milk, fishing, hunting, wearing leather shoes, and benefiting from medical research performed on lab rats are all “unethical.”
The bottom line: PETA#%92s leaders care more about cutting into their advertising budget than finding homes for the six pets they kill on average, every single day.
That's not a charity, that's a corrupt, lying, hypocritical slaughterhouse. Would you support these killers? I wouldnt!
