PETA Killed 97% of Companion Animals

Thursday, January 10, 2008


In 2006, PETA apparently took in 3,061 companion animals, of which it killed 2,981. This information supposedly comes from the Commonwealth of Virginia's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS).

The Center for Consumer Freedom, an advocacy group representing the interests of manufacturers and retailers, issued a press release today that made light of this figure.

The press release goes on to report that the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006, compared to PETA's kill rate of 97.4 percent.

Apparently, the Commonwealth ordered PETA to submit a report of its operations for all of 2006, and PETA finally complied 9 months after the deadline.

You can read the rest of the alarming details here...

Those of you who have followed this blog for a long time know that I've been a big critic of PETA, charging them to be hypocrites in the most vile kind of way.

They campaign for our donations on the grounds that they're going to take care of these animals, love them, and protect them, and yet it appears they use that money to buy syringes, plastic bags, and pentobarbital.

They're opportunists. When an animal tragedy occurs, such as the Michael Vick story, they capitalize on the situation with their, "I told you so" advertisements, and leverage donations from our emotions.

What's worse, PETA, or Michael Vick?

No one who calls themselves an animal lover can stick a needle into a perfectly healthy and adoptable dog, and tell it that they're doing this for love.

If you're going to argue that a "kinder, gentler death" is better than a cruel one, then you're just as clueless as Michael Vick.

The difference between PeTA and Michal Vick is that Vick never raised money from the public pretending to SAVE the animals. Vick never pretended to be their advocate.

PeTA wants to save all the animals raised for food, who have no other reason for existence and no natural habitat, yet they want to do away with companion pets by putting nearly all of them to death.

Save the Pork, kill the Pooch.

I've written about PeTA (their use of a small e for Ethical is fitting... they certainly are not _E_thical) and this issue on my blog.

Adopt a PeTA Pet = Kill 9 more

There are a few other posts that deal with their horrible antics as well: using sex to gain vegan converts, blaming responsible breeders of dogs with ad campaigns that claim that every dog you buy is a shelter dog you kill.

Breeders don't kill dogs in shelters, PeTA does, 97% of the time.

I wonder if all those stars who pose for PeTA's campaigns and also carry "purse dogs" know about this?

No wonder you have comment moderation on with such blathering, inaccurate, and libelous blogs. Of course PETA has a high euthanasia rate--the animals they get in are in horrible shape and/or scheduled to be gassed to death slowly by incompetent and inhumane shelters in North Carolina, where the laws to protect animals are not where they should be. It's no-kill advocating flesh industry supporters such as yourself who cause millions of companion animals to be killed in non-humane ways and/or caged for years in warehouses sitting in their own defecation going slowly crazy from the confinement, lack of stimulation, and constant loud noise of other animals going insane.

And every time you buy from a breeder you DO kill a shelter dog--think about it! There are already millions of animals in need of homes out there and breeders trying to make a buck are ensuring they remain homeless by pushing fluffy little puppies on everyone while plenty of wonderful dogs languish in shelters.

You must be related to CCF, if not you just really need to learn to do some research before opening up your metaphorical internet mouth. Educate yourself: http://www.ConsumerDeception.com

First, your headline is inaccurate. It implies that 97% of pets in the United States (or in the world) were killed.

Second, it’s important for people to know what the Center for Consumer Freedom is. It’s a deceptively named group that was founded with money from the tobacco industry. (For more information, visit SourceWatch or ConsumerDeception.org.) The CCF’s goal was to put a positive spin on smoking. When that failed, they moved to other industries and are now funded by the restaurant, alcohol, meat and dairy industries.

The CCF opposes Mothers Against Drunk Driving. And their MO is to try to discredit those groups that oppose the CCF. Peta is one of those groups because it cares about animals and doesn’t want people to murder them for food.

Even if you disagree with Peta — and I know a lot of people do — please realize that even some animal-rights groups do not agree with everything Peta does. So if you hate Peta, look into supporting less-outrageous animal-rights groups like Vegan Outreach or Farm Sanctuary.

The bottom line is that we all care about animals and don’t want to see them suffer.

I dont like PETA at all!!!! They are just a bunch of fanatics. they might at one time have had some great ideas, but being that their beliefs are sooo unreasonable, fanaticle and silly, I have no use for them and will never donate a penny to them. They have been known to go to dog shows and let many dogs out of their crates(ones waiting to be shown) and let them "run free". They believe that no human has a right to own or have or take care of dogs and they should be running wild in the streets and left to nature. I guess they dont think that cars can kill them or injure them or a pack of wild dogs isnt dangerous, etc.

This makes me really sad. Some of those could have gone to good homes.

I do not like Peta. They are for BSL and they want animals to be free not kept as pets. Theya re crazy fanatics. And they do euthanize a lot of animals. People that worked for them were caught dumping animals in a trash dumpster a year or so ago. They picked them up from a shelter saying they would be adopted and were put down in the vehicle as soon as they were picked up. Not a good organization!

Your not kidding. It says in 2006 they took in over 3000 dogs and only 12 were adopted out and the rest were killed?????????????? This makes me a little sick just thinking about it. Who the heck is turning their dogs over to them and do they realize they are just going to put them down. Very disturbing.

I just wanted to thank you for the information.. Knowledge is power and I feel that everyone needs to be more informed, especially in this time when the news is very one sided.

I read that not only were they picking animals up from shelters and euthanizing them immediately in their van, they were also picking up cats & kittens from veterianrian offices that had called asking for help placing them. They then did the same thing, euthanized them and dumped them in dumpsters. How very sad.

[JeanieK]

That is outrages. Where is the law? How do they get by with that?

[CO_yorkie_momma]

Someone sent me an email a couple days ago saying something about the movie Blond and Blonder was donating proceeds from their new movie to PETA so everyone is supposed to refuse to go see it.

[chatoyant]

The group that slandered PETA has done the same to more respectable environmental groups. PETA is not really an environmental group, though, more of a sentimental group, but they have done more harm than good for both wild and domesticated animals. Eco-terrorism is no better than the non-Eco kind.

[yoyo27]

Well I think we need to make sure all people are aware of what Peta is doing. Also more info on www.napples.com then type in peta. Shows that they have been caught and there are charges out on them. But why don't we have more media on this problem. Doesn't that just make you wonder. We need people to understand don't let your emotions for these dogs take over and give money to people killing dogs and cats. Many areas has this issue and they don't even hold the dogs or cats for any length of time to try to get them homes before killing. How sad this is and there should be alot of noise on the radio and TV about this. Where is the media when you need them.

[mizzwanned]

That makes me sick

[grayxie]

I never supported PETA, they are waaaaaaaaay out there on their views and actions.

[Yorkiekids]

I've heard so many horrible things about PETA I'd never support them.
