That being said...that van touting low cost spaying/neutaring services is restricted to low income individuals or the elderly. So while Peta's PR stance says we offer this wonderful service for people, in essence, most people do not qualify.
All of the above information is located on peta's website.... http://www.peta.org/about/faq-comp.asp
Btw, if you continue reading that peta forum link you posted...you'll see the same along with a post from the Peta admin stating there are no peta shelters.
Peta's real answer in regards to the numbers of animals they euthanize is to state their percentage is the same as shelters in the US. 92%.  |
That's actually in my above post.
"PETA makes no secret of having to euthanize most of the animals we take in. Although
we do not run an adoption facility (
we refer most adoptable animals to well-known shelters with a high rate of public traffic)"
BTW, I don't frequent the PETA forums and actually didn't even know they existed until I went to see what their reaction to this campaign was.
