Death to PETA

PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals should be humanely euthanized.
the numbers are out for their 2012 performance and they are sickening
they took in 1877 animals and killed 1675
http://www.vi.virginia.gov/vdacs_ar/cgi-bin/Vdacs_search.cgi?link_select=facility&form=fac_select&fac_num=157&year=2012

that is sickening.
here in austin the group i work with has reduced austins kill rate to under 10% (the definition of no kill) we are working to do the same in san antonio and have reduced their kill rate from 70% to under 20%

PETA on the other hand just keeps on killing while claiming to be for "ethical treatment"

disgusting.....

Peta does not run shelters, they provide a last resort service.


PETA operates what could be called a "shelter of last resort" for the most broken animals. When impoverished families cannot afford to pay a veterinarian to let a suffering and/or aged animal leave this world, PETA will help. When an aggressive, unsocialized dog has been left to starve at the end of a chain with a collar grown into his neck and his body racked with mange, PETA will spare him from dying slowly and miserably in someone's backyard. As Virginia officials speaking of PETA's euthanasia rate acknowledged to USA Today,

PETA will basically take anything that comes through the door, and other shelters won't do that.

My wife volunteers at the local humane society. They kill healthy cats and dogs on a regular basis.
