    Default PETA Killed 95 Percent of Adoptable Pets in its Care During 2008

    Press Release | PETA Killed 95 Percent of Adoptable Pets in its Care During 2008

    WASHINGTON DC – Today the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) published documents online showing that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care during 2008. Despite years of public outrage over its euthanasia program, the animal rights group kills an average of 5.8 pets every day at its Norfolk, VA headquarters.

    According to public records from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA killed 2,124 pets last year and placed only seven in adoptive homes. Since 1998, a total of 21,339 dogs and cats have died at the hands of PETA workers.

    Despite having a $32 million budget, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter. PETA employees make no discernible effort to find homes for the thousands of pets they kill every year. Last year, the Center for Consumer Freedom petitioned Virginia’s State Veterinarian to reclassify PETA as a slaughterhouse.

    CCF Research Director David Martosko said: “PETA hasn’t slowed down its hypocritical killing machine one bit, but it keeps browbeating the rest of society with a phony ‘animal rights’ message. What about the rights of the thousands of dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens that die in PETA’s headquarters building?”

    Martosko added: “Since killing pets is A-OK with PETA, why should anyone listen to their demands about eating meat, using lab rats for medical research, or taking children to the circus?”

    CCF obtained PETA’s “Animal Record” filings since 1998 from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Members of the public can see these documents at PetaKillsAnimals.com.

    In addition to exposing PETA’s hypocritical record of killing defenseless animals, the Center for Consumer Freedom has publicized the animal rights group’s ties to violent activists, and shed light on its aggressive message-marketing to children.
    While I'm not surprised, I still hate PETA. Bunch of hypocritical fucks. Meat is murder but this is okay? What?

    I live about 30 minutes from their headquarters. I've half a mind to raid the fuckers. I would like to see a more credible source, though. If the two people behind me are any example, people won't believe a report published by the Center for Consumer Freedom.

    Wel, that's definitely not a propaganda site.

    In my friend's words, "Show me a story by the AP." It will take something with street cred to convince people.

    While there are reports I've been searching for this in news on google and yahoo and have not found anything that backs the claim of 95% were killed. I'm no lover of PETA but I don't see this claim as being backed...yet.

    A quick google brought up this link for the official numbers reported by PETA to the Virigina state in previous years (just change the year number at the end of the link; the 2008 numbers are not there yet):

    VDACS Online Animal Reporting

    So the 95% would be consistent with their own reported numbers for recent years (96% for 2007, 97% for 2006, didn't check further back).

    I guess you have to be lucky they are an animal rights group and not a civil rights group, lol.

    95% may be an exaggeration but it's a known fact that PETA euthanize a lot of animals.
