PETA's Dirty Secret

PETA's Dirty Secret

Hypocrisy is the mother of all credibility problems, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has it in spades. While loudly complaining about the "unethical" treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, the group has its own dirty little secret.

PETA kills animals. By the thousands.

From July 1998 through the end of 2005, PETA killed over 14,400 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals" -- at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. That's more than five defenseless animals every day. Not counting the dogs and cats PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 90 percent of the animals it took in during 2005 alone. And its angel-of-death pattern shows no sign of changing.
On its 2002 federal income-tax return, PETA claimed a $9,370 write-off for a giant walk-in freezer, the kind most people use as a meat locker or for ice-cream storage. But animal-rights activists don't eat meat or dairy foods. So far, the group hasn't confirmed the obvious -- that it's using the appliance to store the bodies of its victims.

In 2000, when the Associated Press first noted PETA's Kervorkian-esque tendencies, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk complained that actually taking care of animals costs more than killing them. "We could become a no-kill shelter immediately," she admitted.

How about this for Hypocrisy, Millions of Americans abandon there pets at shelters each year.
6 million former companion animals were slaughtered here in the USA in 2008 and the numbers are climbing for 2009.
Where did all those animals come from PETA?
Maybe they simply walked up and decided to visit!
So, common Americans, lets keep the good work up by complaining about who is doing the killing.
Do you really think it matters to those being killed?
Stop pointing the finger at this and that...find a mirror....point in the right direction...at the image staring back at you.....
Hello...anybody home....lights are on.....
