PETA secretely kills thousands of animals

PETA Supporters Have Blood on Their Hands
(from petakillsanimals.com)

As Americans learn more about People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and its eccentric founder, Hollywood stars should know the whole story. Despite the well-known animal rights group's $30 million budget, it spends very little actually caring for adoptable animals. Instead, it kills them. By the thousands.

Government records show that between 1998 and 2005, PETA killed more than 14,000 dogs and cats at its Virginia headquarters.(The group refuses to release its 2006 numbers.) In 2005, PETA killed 90 percent of the pets in its care. Some were thrown in trash dumpsters. Most were incinerated. PETA's donors footed the bill.

That's not "ethical." It's hypocritical.

"Ingrid Newkirk runs the most disingenuous animal group on the planet," said Center for Consumer Freedom Director of Research David Martosko. "PETA takes pet lovers' donations with one hand while administering lethal injections with the other."

Thank you Geoff, for suggesting the article. It's a shame to kill thousands of animals and store them in freezers or dumpsters - especially when they criticize people for using animals for medical research, dairy production, and food! Say No to PETA, say yes to MEATA!
