For those who think Penn & Teller are Bullshit

http://www.doggienews.com/2005/06/more-information-on-peta-animal.htm


The Center notes that PETA makes a practice of killing most of the animals it rescues, as much as 85 percent, while finding homes for just 14 percent. The Center goes on to note that some SPCA centers are just the opposite, finding homes for a majority of its animals.
While PETA has claimed that most of the animals it kills are "broken beings," the dead animals discovered by North Carolina police included a female cat and -- according to a local veterinarian -- her two "very adoptable" kittens. "These were just kittens we were trying to find homes for," he told PETA's hometown Virginian-Pilot. "PETA said they would do that, but these cats never made it out of the county."
Wait a minute! If an animal is so bad off healthwise, then why isn't PETA sparing no expense to save it? Isn't it considered "ethical treatment" to provide life-saving veterinary care to a sick animal? PETA is a group that has the words "ethical treatment" in its name.

I guess you can call me ignorant, because I had no idea that PETA euthanized animals at all. I had this crazy notion that PETA cared for each and every animal on this planet. I know the Humane Society euthanizes animals, I know that the SPCA euthanizes too, but I didn't expect PETA to do this.

PETA is based in Norfolk, Va., but its work has international scope. The group, which raises more than $25 million a year from 1.6 million supporters, opposes any human use of animals, whether for food, fashion or research. In the more than two decades since its founding, it has become a major threat to medical researchers, meatpackers, fur sellers and others.

Now, two of its employees stand accused of tossing garbage bags full of euthanized cats and dogs into a Dumpster behind a Piggly Wiggly in Hertford County, 130 miles northeast of Raleigh.
Adria J. Hinkle and Andrew B. Cook, both of whom work in PETA's Norfolk office, are charged with 21 counts each of animal cruelty, a felony that can carry prison time, along with littering and obtaining property by false pretenses.

7. A pretty non-daunting challenge in this case...as is pointing out their attention whoring.
It's just that pointing out this to certain people here...deaf ears.

3. There are lots of other (and better) animal "rights" organizations
I'm sure there are a lot of well meaning people who think PETA is a great organization simply because they have only listened to their hype or self promotion, but PETA is nothing more than a group of media sluts ran by fringe nuts, for fringe nuts. To determine that, you need to look no farther than head loon, Ingrid Newkirk. This is a woman who overtly, covertly, directly, and indirectly supports animal terrorist organizations. She doesn't deserve anyone's support.

4. I certainly don't agree with everything Penn and Teller say...
... but they're spot on with this. Fuck PETA, and ALF is nothing more than a terrorist organization.
