Everyone is aware of the PETA nut jobs, right? They have ridiculous ad campaigns that are downright shocking and in bad taste, they protest McDonald’s and the Colonel, so-called corporate farms, they hate anyone who wears fur or leather and have actually assaulted them in the past. They claim to be the keepers of animal rights.
So the great animal rights advocacy group called PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals), the moral authority when it comes to animals, well, looks like they have some explaining to do.
Documents published online this month show that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, an organization known for its uncompromising animal-rights positions, killed more than 95 percent of the pets in its care in 2011.
The documents, obtained from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, were published online by the Center for Consumer Freedom, a non-profit organization that runs online campaigns targeting groups that antagonize food producers.
Fifteen years’ worth of similar records show that since 1998 PETA has killed more than 27,000 animals at its headquarters in Norfolk, VA.
Ahhh the hypocrisy. And now, the lack of credibility of this radical, militant organization.
Now we find out, PETA’s own policy indicates that 84% of the animals they take in are euthanized within 24 hours of arrival.
Dr. Daniel Kovich, of the Virginia agriculture department, investigated PETA’s headquarters and reported:
“[PETA’s] primary purpose,” Kovich wrote, “is not to find permanent adoptive homes for animals.”
And, according to The Daily Caller:
In a February 16 statement, the Center said PETA killed 1,911 cats and dogs last year, finding homes for only 24 pets.
“PETA hasn’t slowed down its slaughterhouse operation,” said Rick Berman, CCF’s executive director. “It appears PETA is more concerned with funding its media and advertising antics than finding suitable homes for these dogs and cats.”
In a statement, Berman added that PETA has a $37 million dollar annual budget.
