PETA Stats for Rescue of Animals??? Peter Worthington: Why is PETA Killing Thousands of Rescue Pets? A well respected reporter has this to say about PETA and their "adoption" to kill rate stats. Shocking! |
Well, that's not good... thanks for posting this!:mad: |
I have never understood how PETA gets away with this? If this wasn't PETA but an individual rescue, the rescue founder would be in jail or facing a judge for animal cruelty charges. I've read where PETA states most of the dogs/cats they take in are in such bad shape there is no other alternative but euthanasia. But I don't believe it could possibly be true that such a high percentage of their take-ins couldn't be helped. If another group could rehabilitate most of the pits seized from Michael Vick, then surely more of the PETA animals could have been saved. PETA is supposed to be a charitable organization......the unnecessary killing of innocent animals isn't charitable:mad: I know PETA is responsible for many good things with regard to animal rights/protection, and typically doesn't care what the general public thinks of their actions. I do wonder just how many of PETA's supporters are aware of their euthanizing so many animals. If they are not aware and were made so, I then wonder just how many would continue to support PETA? |
The reporter doesn't provide a copy (or link) of a detailed report as to where he's getting his statistics. I'm always leary of reports with "statistics" as its easy to play with numbers. That said, the kill rate he's talking about is on par with the local shelters in my area. I don't know where PETA shelters are located. How many months, years, are shelters supposed to house animals in hopes they get adopted? What about the ones that never do? People just need to spay & neuter their animals. My biggest gripe with my local shelters is that they allow adoption of unaltered animals!!! When many times these same shelters turn away animals because they are filled to capacity, what the heck are they doing letting any unaltered animal back out into the world??? |
WEll if you click on a link in the article it brings you to another article which states that in official records which PETA submitted to the VAstate, it shows their kill rate. |

Is that relective of ALL PETA shelters? Where are they located? What's the condition of the animals they take in? Do they take in any and all animals, even those denied by other shelters? I don't know. I'm not saying that's the case with the info provided, I was just meaning that too often a piece of information is presented and then a blanket conlusion is made that doesn't always reflect the full picture. |
Well, I get your point. How-ever I personally don't know where to look, and if there is indeed a site, that accumulates said information. I'm assuming that PETA should have the shelter site information, on their website' after all it should be public infor, as they are a "charitable organization". |
I'll have to do some research on this topic! I used to be a PETA member. I would hope that everything possible would be done before euthenasia would be considered. I tend not to trust "research" since I took Statistics and Research and learned that you can find research to back any side of your view... |
Here are some statistics: Peta Kills Animals |
PETA......another farse that collect millions of dollars for "animal rights" (THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANIMAL RIGHTS AND ANIMAL WELFARE!), and has the backing of huge Hollywood mouthpieces..... |

When/if PETA rescues animals, it's usually those animals who are so ill that it'd be cruel to keep them alive. It's no different from your local shelter classifying the animals they take in via The Asilomar Accords. PETA's intention was never to be a shelter for adoptable dogs, but they do rescue if the animal is deathly ill. There is an old story about 2 or 3 former PETA employees not rescuing properly (they put down adoptable animals). It was very unfortunate, but not a common practice in PETA. It was a grave and tragic mistake by some employees who very clearly did the wrong thing. Here are what the animals they rescue look like...but if you can't handle the reality of what happens to the worst of the worst, do not look at these pictures: Why We Euthanize | Ingrid Newkirk Blog | Blog.IngridNewkirk.com Why We Euthanize, Part II (Warning: Graphic Photo) | peta2 Blog |
