This is sick:
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.
Here’s the full story …
Before posting this, I did a quick search to see if perhaps this is a fake report or part of a smear campaign. It does not appear to be.
From the SunHerald article:
“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 lesson for me, which is confirmed by just about every other experience with organizations that market themselves and their messages in similar ways, is to not trust any organization that uses uninformed and clueless celebrities as its main spokespeople.
