One of the most vocal and visual of the so-called “animal rights” groups, is also the most hypocritical.
“Today the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) published documents online showing that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed 97 percent of the adoptable pets in its care during 2009…
According to public records from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA killed 2,301 cats and dogs last year while only placing eight in adoptive homes. That means PETA found a home for only 1 out of every 300 animals at its headquarters. Since 1998, a total of 23,640 pets have died at the hands of PETA workers.
“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,” said David Martosko, CCF’s Director of Research. “PETA is more concerned about funding its advertising and media antics than finding suitable homes for needy cats and dogs.”
Despite its $33 million annual budget, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter. PETA employees make no discernible effort to find homes for the thousands of animals they kill every year.
“Since killing pets is A-OK with PETA, why should anyone listen to their demands about eating meat, using lab mice for medical research, or taking children to the circus?” Martosko continued. “Virginia regulators should reclassify PETA’s headquarters as a slaughterhouse. This is shockingly unethical behavior.”

“I am sorry to hear this about PETA. They do some good work publiciziing the cruel treatmnet of food animals. This partly led me to ba a vegetarian. I eat well and my cholesterol is under 100.

“I don’t give money to PETA and I am strongly pro-life. Not eating meat helps to lower cholesterol unless you get a lot of animal fat from cheese, milk PETA is just partly good.They DO know how to get attention from the media!.”
