I don't think that any of these statements is supported by a citation, instead they are mixed in with the "facts" to be persuasive. That is one of PETA's goals, to try to convince the public that dog breeders are, as they described it "partners in crime." Which is fine, PETA is as entitled to its opinion as I am to mine And of course we are all entitled to contact the foundation to plead our case as to what organizations we personally feel represent the best interests of the animals we love.

Most people who have to actually see the enormous number of dogs who are killed are typically pro adoption so I'm not sure what I was supposed to see in your quotes that is different from any other animal welfare agency- they are all pro adoption simply because they want to stop having to kill innocent dogs. That has absolutely nothing to do with trying to keep us from having the right to have pets which is the point I thought we were discussing. It is what you quoted me on and that is what I was responding to.
