That is why PETA's euthanasia rate is higher than many.

For those unfamiliar w/ the Asilomar Accords, I'd suggest checking them out before judging an organization's euthanasia rate - those guideposts for assessing an animal are what animal welfare organizations use - and like I said, PETA takes in the worst. It's tragic, but when an animal is so near death or so untreatable, choices have to be made and sometimes euthanasia is the kindest path for certain animals, as sad as that is.

Very Good Posting Ann and Thanks Megan's Mom for posting the article without pictures. You are right. There is not reason not to be informed. A few weeks back I read the article but on PETA's site. Elaine
