PETA....I've rarely heard of anything thing good those nuts have done. They may have started out in favor of animals but they've gone way off track.

First off, that's just disgusting. Second, I have that issue. I looked over it twice and can't find the ad! Anyone know what page it's on?

I don't know....I don't think it references peta in the actual ad. Here's the text...


"Just bought a brand-new purebred puppy? Welcome him or her into your home with a free gift bag! Call us today at 1-866-834-6061 to claim your bag and hear about our products,"

That's horribly misleading. If I read that, I would of imagined a new company trying to promote their new puppy products. What a surprise it must be to end up hearing a completely different thing.

That is just plain WRONG!

PETA Killed 97 Percent of 'Companion Animals' in 2006, According to VDACS Center for Consumer Freedom

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 — An official report from People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), submitted nine months after a Virginia government agency's deadline, shows that the animal rights group put to death more than 97 percent of the dogs, cats, and other pets it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 pets. The nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is calling on PETA to either end its hypocritical angel-of-death program, or stop its senseless condemnation of Americans who believe it's perfectly ethical to use animals for food, clothing, and critical medical research.

Not counting animals PETA held only temporarily in its spay-neuter program, the organization took in 3,061 "companion animals" in 2006, of which it killed 2,981. According to Virginia's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA killed 97.4 percent of the animals it took in. The organization filed its 2006 report this month, nine months after the VDACS deadline of March 31, 2007.

"Pet lovers should be outraged," said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. "There are thousands of worthwhile animal shelters that deserve Americans' support. PETA is not one of them."

In courtroom testimony last year, a PETA manager acknowledged that her organization maintains a large walk-in freezer for storing dead animals, and that PETA contracts with a Virginia cremation service to dispose of the bodies. In that trial, two PETA employees were convicted of dumping dead animals in a rural North Carolina trash dumpster.

Today in Southampton County, Virginia, another PETA employee will face felony charges in a dog-napping case. Andrea Florence Benoit Harris was arrested in late 2006 for allegedly abducting a hunting dog and attempting to transport it to PETA's Norfolk headquarters.

"PETA raised over $30 million last year," Martosko added, "and it's using that money to kill the only flesh-and-blood animals its employees actually see. The scale of PETA's hypocrisy is simply staggering."


To speak with a spokesman contact Tim Miller at 202-463-7112.

I think it was a really cruddy thing to do too.

No, PETA is anti breeding ... period! They and other Animal Rights groups are very, very scary. They have lots of support, lots of money and lots of lobbyist behind them. They and other well known AR groups are trying to push laws through the system that will eventually try to make breeding purebred animals almost impossible. Manditory spay/neuter laws is a big one that they are working on now.

I hope this link works, it was sent to me earlier this year - it is from the PETA website. I have dial up internet so it's takes forever for me to view these videos, but look at the KKK and sex talk videos.

It is true that some places are passing spay and neuter laws. One was passed in the city of LA not long ago. From my understanding, there are people that can get permits to breed, intended of course for legitimate breeders. It's to help stop the numbers of homeless dogs wandering the streets, and all those back yard breeders. It might even help eliminate puppy mills since there are standards that must be met in order to get a breeding permit.
Responsible breeders can still exist.

Well, I hope you are right about responsible breeders being able to get permits to breed in LA. Please see the link below to read how hard it may be to get a license for owning an unaltered dog or cat over the age of 4 months (4 months is the mandatory age for spaying and neutering).

These AR groups are scary and if we all think that everything is OK and these laws won't affect us, think again!

They tried passing one here ( CA ) last year, it didn't go over very well, so they intend on trying to bring it back again. It was a huuuuge ordeal, they even had people like Bob Barker supporting them. They were going to make breeders have to pay out all kinds of money for breeding permits, and you would only get the permit if your dog was a show dog. They had all kinds of stipulations, it was ridiculous!

These sound like reasonable and even logical solutions to our critical pet over population. It would be wonderful if we were working towards ending the need for shelters.
