PETA Killed 95% of Adoptable Pets in its Care

A nonprofit center for consumers claims that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed more than 2,124 animals, 95 per cent of adoptable pets it had in its care in 2008.

PETA killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets under its care in 2008, according to Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF). CCF has published the documents online here and it shows PETA had 2,131 cats and dogs in its care and placed only seven of them in proper adoptive homes. The rest were put to sleep. PETA has more than a $32 million annual budget, yet it doesn’t have any pet shelters to take care of the animals properly. CCF reports since 1998, a total of 21,339 dogs and cats have died at the hands of PETA workers. Because of this disturbing statistic, CCF has petitioned Virginia’s State Veterinarian to reclassify PETA as a slaughterhouse. CCF Research Director David Mortosko said in a press release:

PETA hasn’t slowed down its hypocritical killing machine one bit, but it keeps browbeating the rest of society with a phony ‘animal rights’ message. What about the rights of the thousands of dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens that die in PETA’s headquarters building?

Another website Petakillsanimals.com says it is cost-effective for PETA to kill adoptable cats and dogs and store their bodies in a freezer until they are cremated, compared to caring for the pets until they are adopted. Another organization Virginia Beach SPCA which is just few blocks away from PETA is able to take care off the pets with far less money and budget. Petakillsanimals.com adds:

PETA’s leaders care more about cutting into their advertising budget than finding homes for the nearly six pets they kill on average, every single day.

Since 1998, only 12 percent of the pets are saved under PETA’s care; the remaining 88 percent are disposed of.
