Death toll up to 17,400; overdue report describes PETA's deadliest year ever



WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An official report from People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), submitted nine months after a Virginia government agency's deadline, shows that the animal rights group put to death more than 97 percent of the dogs, cats, and other pets it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 pets. The nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is calling on PETA to either end its hypocritical angel-of-death program, or stop its senseless condemnation of Americans who believe it's perfectly ethical to use animals for food, clothing, and critical medical research.



Not counting animals PETA held only temporarily in its spay-neuter program, the organization took in 3,061 "companion animals" in 2006, of which it killed 2,981. ccording to Virginia's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA killed 97.4 percent of the animals it took in.The organization filed its 2006 report this month, nine months after the VDACS deadline of March 31, 2007.



"Pet lovers should be outraged," said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. "There are thousands of worthwhile animal shelters that deserve Americans' support. PETA is not one of them."



In courtroom testimony last year, a PETA manager acknowledged that her organization maintains a large walk-in freezer for storing dead animals, and that PETA contracts with a Virginia cremation service to dispose of the bodies. In that trial, two PETA employees were convicted of dumping dead animals in a rural North Carolina trash dumpster.



Today in Southampton County, Virginia, another PETA employee will face felony charges in a dog-napping case. Andrea Florence Benoit Harris was arrested in late 2006 for allegedly abducting a hunting dog and attempting to transport it to PETA's Norfolk headquarters.



"PETA raised over $30 million last year," Martosko added, "and it's using that money to kill the only flesh-and-blood animals its employees actually see. The scale of PETA's hypocrisy is simply staggering."

 

PETA you're such a  douchebag...

    May be old news, but I figure it bears repeating at every opportunity, given the bs PETA tries to get away with, the amount of money they raise from donations under the guise of helping save animals, and their ties to to domestic terrorist groups such as the ALF.

    I just want everyone to know that I'm eating some chicken right now, and it's delicious.

    ...You mean it doesn't stand for People Eating Tasty Animals?!

     

    I too hate PETA, but i would think everyone knew about this by now, even Penn & Teller did an episode about it. I'm all for spreading the word though. ( Lightly saying my other post was made simply to post+1 )

    The Pen and Tellar episode about PETA is pretty good as well, look it up if you haven't already seen it.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    You could always go around killing the PETA leaders, and leave messages written in their blood on the walls and stuff. That ought to stop them.
