Death Toll Up To 17,400; Report Describes PETA's Deadliest Year Ever

WASHINGTON, DC


An official report from People for The Ethical Treatment ofAnimals (PETA), 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. According 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. In Southampton County, Virginia, another PETA employee will face criminal charges in a dog-napping case. Andrea Florence Benoit Harris was arrested inlate 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."


The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition supported by restaurants, food companies, and consumers, working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.


PETA'S 97 Percent Death Rate - PLEASE DONATE TO HELP KILL MORE ANIMALS
BTW I expect this will offend some of you I know are PETA supporters. But lets take it both directions. I'm a massive animal lover and I refuse to condone actions like the above. This makes me mad as hell! There's no ethics in this group besides their name.
Anyone who's interested can also see watch Penn & Teller Bullshit where they have focused in on PETA below.

Thanks for the PETA info. Kite boarding? I think anyone who does anything sporty in the ocean is brave, I'm afraid of it a little.. Having said that, I did go to the beach for the 1st time in many years last week (I went in the water waist-high). I guess it's things like sharks, waves that will dump you.. currents that will drag you under.. that sort of thing!

I wish you the best as you embark on this journey forward & become the shrinking woman.. smaller each week. I look forward to updates! :-)
