    PETA kills animals

    PETA Kills Animals | PetaKillsAnimals.com

    excerpts

    People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a group that complains bitterly when animals die accidentally in horse races or intentionally in slaughterhouses, killed more than 90 percent of the adoptable animals in its care during 2007.

    From July 1998 through December 2007, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed over 19,200 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals." That's more than five defenseless creatures every day. PETA has a walk-in freezer to store the dead bodies, and contracts with a Virginia Beach company to cremate them.

    Not counting the pets PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 90 percent of the animals it took in during the last five years. And its angel-of-death pattern shows no sign of changing.

    In 2000, when the Associated Press first noted PETA's Kervorkian-esque tendencies, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk complained that actually taking care of animals costs more than killing them. "We could become a no-kill shelter immediately," she admitted.
    PETA kills animals. Because it has other financial priorities.

    epic if true!

    I'm not a PETA sympathizer, but I understand the need for spaying/neutering of strays/unwanted animals as well as the need to put down animals that come into the shelter that are neither fit for companionship or are on their last leg anyways.
