PETA's Dirty Secret 7 Things You Didn't Know About PETA Your Kids, PETA's Pawns Sign The PETA Petition PETA on ActivistCash Link To Us PETA's Dirty Secret Hypocrisy is the mother of all credibility problems, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has it in spades. While loudly complaining about the "unethical" treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, the group has its own dirty little secret. PETA kills animals. By the thousands. From July 1998 through the end of 2005, PETA killed over 14,400 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals" -- at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. That's more than five defenseless animals every day. Not counting the dogs and cats PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 90 percent of the animals it took in during 2005 alone. And its angel-of-death pattern shows no sign of changing.

Click here to see the proof. On its 2002 federal income-tax return, PETA claimed a $9,370 write-off for a giant walk-in freezer, the kind most people use as a meat locker or for ice-cream storage. But animal-rights activists don't eat meat or dairy foods. And during a 2007 criminal trial, a PETA manager (testifying under oath) confirmed the obvious -- that the group uses the appliance to store the bodies of its victims. In 2000, when the Associated Press first noted PETA's Kervorkian-esque tendencies, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk complained that actually taking care of animals costs more than killing them. "We could become a no-kill shelter immediately," she admitted. PETA kills animals. Because it has other financial priorities. PETA rakes in nearly $30 million each year in income, much of it raised from pet owners who think their donations actually help animals. Instead, the group spends huge sums on programs equating people who eat chicken with Nazis, scaring young children away from drinking milk, recruiting children into the radical animal-rights lifestyle, and intimidating businessmen and their families in their own neighborhoods. PETA has also spent tens of thousands of dollars defending arsonists and other violent extremists. PETA claims it engages in outrageous media-seeking stunts "for the animals." But which animals? Carping about the value of future two-piece dinners while administering lethal injections to puppies and kittens isn't ethical. It's hypocritical -- with a death toll that PETA would protest if it weren't their own doing. PETA kills animals. And its leaders dare lecture the rest of us?

great, now you are a pawn of Rick Berman. go look it up. the back story on Peta and euthanization is they have standards that they perceive the regional shelters falling short on. So they pick up the unadoptable animals and deliver to a (contracted? perhaps) center where they are euthanized.
great copy and paste job. peta sucks and this is only one reason why. look up ingrid newkirk's personal financial expenditures claimed as peta-related. ingrid newkirk sucks but then again, peta is doing a great job of radically changing minds about the meat industry and animal testing. which is good. every silver lining has it's grey cloud.
FYI, that website was made by the Center for Consumer Freedom, which is a front group for big tobacco, alcohol, and restaurants. Everything they say is total BS. They don't care the slightest bit about animals, they care about THEIR BUSINESSES and MAKING MONEY. You can read about them here: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Center_for_Consumer_Freedom. The website says, for instance, that "Since activists 'drive consumer behavior on meat, alcohol, fat, sugar, tobacco and caffeine,' [their] strategy is 'to shoot the messenger. ... We've got to attack their credibility as spokespersons.'" Seriously, I don't trust them AT ALL. They don't care about the truth; anything they say is motivated by their desire for profit.
Yes, PETA euthanasias animals. I don't support PETA, but that's not one of the reasons. The fact is that when there are far too many strays running around, that euthanasia is the kindest alternative.
thank you. plese really read that website that you yourself linked before you go spouting all these BS facts. really. www.petakillsanimals.com = tripe. utter tripe. and to those who think that protesters shouldnt bother executives at home, if the execs. allow their home life to influence their worklife (desire for profit leading to a lack of morals) then surely their work life can influence their home life (protestors "annoying" you at home) Freedom
