There is no Peta animal shelter. If you take an animal to Peta it is euthanized. Peta has acknowledged this several times to the media here.
Exactly- I've pointed that out many times- PETA is not a shelter which seems to be something that most people don't understand. They work very hard on animal issues and education and have had amazing successes but being an animal shelter is not what they are. If you were to bring an adoptable animal to PETA they would direct you to a shelter- unfortunately they end up dealing with the unadoptable animals (the one's none of us want to think about but never the less have to be addressed). I'm sure Ingrid Newkirk has personal opinions on a million things as we all do. It does not make it a PETA agenda and nobody has ever, even one time, shown that that is PETA's agenda. It is simply a personal opinion.
