PETA’s “Animal Record” report for 2008, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 95 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2008, PETA found adoptive homes for just seven pets.

Just seven animals — out of the 2,216 it took in. PETA just broke its own record.


So, yeah. I hear the sounds of doom.

I'm not surprised. Sad.

Yeah, that's pretty fucked up. It doesn't surprise me, and there's a nagging feeling that it should, but it doesn't.

Then I read some of the comments posted there. I'll be back, I need some Tylenol. Bunch of crazy bastards...

Oxymoronic...much like all of those activist movements and groups that are trying to push 'care' against something when you look at them in their entirety...

Hey, could be worse. England is trying to forbid research on chicken embryos while simultanoeusly already allowing pretty much anything with human ones.

Hooray "animal rights".

There's an obvious missing piece of information here.

What's the typical turnover rate for humane societies, particularly among the group of animals that they'd have in common?

95% sounds horrible, yes, but if they're bringing in exclusively pets that shelters would figure were unadoptable, well... 95% is still better than 100%.

(Not defending PETA as a whole. They're a seriously fucked up organization, but statistics taken with no context are a bad thing, regardless of the target.)

Also, source on the chicken embryo ban? Only thing I could find (hooray Google) was a ban on importing chickens from Thailand (and possibly the US, depending on hormonal treatments).

I'm not really a supporter of PETA. I agree with some of their positions, but not all. And I don't really agree with any of their methods. But, I really can't see equating the humane euthanasia performed by PETA, with the torture and abuse they fight against.

I hate PETA. With a passion. But... I couldn't resist stirring the pot a little.

Lets see what happens D

Ok, PETA is dumb. Just Dumb. Or at least what they are doing.
