Is PETA needlessly slaughtering thousands of animals?

Posted by Leafy Green on January 30, 2008 11:05 AM Filed Under: Animals, Life

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) are a controversial group.  On the one hand they encourage a vegetarian diet and do lots of work to promote awareness on animal cruelty issues.  Those are good things.  But they're also pretty extreme and sometimes they just outright screw-up.

Since PETA attracts controversy of course their oppenents have to be just as controversial to get attention until eventually you don't know what to believe.

Here's an expert from PetaKillsAnimals.com:

"2,981. That’s how many dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and other "companion animals" died needlessly at PETA's hands in 2006. According to the group's own records, PETA employees killed more than 97 percent of the flesh-and-blood creatures in their care that year.

Compare that with the Norfolk (where PETA is based) Society for the Protection of Animals, which euthanized only 38 of the 1404 animals placed in their care that year. Even the Norfolk city pound managed to release or adopt out more than half the number of animals it euthanized.

While PETA collects millions in donations by pretending to advocate for the welfare of animals, the group has killed 17,400 pets since 1998. Some animals are killed at PETA headquarters and stored in a giant walk-in freezer.

Others are killed in roving death vans and tossed into dumpsters. In fact, less than three percent of the animals handed over to People for the "Ethical" Treatment of Animals actually survive."

Holy smokes!  This is a story worth following because if it is actually true... oh wait it is true becuse PETA reps admitted under oath that they slaughter thousands of animals each year and throw their corpses in a massive walk-in freezer.

I don't even know what to say.  If you're a card-carrying PETA member you really should hit the jump and learn more about where your donation money has been going.

Leafy Green's Tip of the Day Did you know that many of the colourful tropical birds at your local pet shop are the product of trapping and animal trafficking? Yikes! Who would want to support that? Instead of caging beautiful tropical birds, why not grab a pair of binoculars and enjoy birds in their natural habitat?
