Wilber Zarate filed a lawsuit against the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals for taking his 9-year-old daughter’s dog from their mobile park home and then putting the pooch down ahead of the state’s mandatory five-day grace period....
In the suit, Zarate claimed PETA works under a board policy of euthanizing animals because it “considers pet ownership to be a form of involuntary bondage.”

“considers pet ownership to be a form of involuntary bondage.”
About time! Good!
These people are sick, like the people who celebrate abortion
If they are running an animal shelter ( like in DC) it has an abysmal kill rate
I read about people in DC applying to adopt an animal and when they went to pick it up it had been killed
“Execution” is a good word, in this case. If the dog was enjoying life, it was executed (or murdered) — “euthanasia” means mercy killing & PETA provided no mercy.
OMG MY little dog is SOOOO much a part of our family. She is loved, hugged, brushed, treated soo well because we lover her to pieces and back again. Jerks.
Such warped people.
The irony..... but only if you didn’t know PETA is the leader in euthanizing animals.
Euthanizing dogs and cats is PETA’s cash cow.
Quite a few municipalities outsource this to them.
1984.
Yeah, PETA kills as many animals as they possibly can. Partly because they hate animals and partly because they make money off it.
As long as you get the virtue signaling, donations, and tax breaks right the deaths don’t matter. /s
PETA people are nuts.
“You’re mistreating the dog, so we kill it instead”
Idiots.
I never gave it a whole lot of thought but that explains everything about why that group exists and continues to exist. Always thought it was all just donations from duped animal lovers but “outsourced death” makes for a more reliable income, doesn’t it?
If owning pets is a form of “involuntary bondage” . . . how come my pooch keeps coming back home after a romp in the woods?
Yeah, when it’s 105 outside, I notice he’s every bit as eager as I am to get inside under the A/C and get a drink of water.
PETA and the BTK serial killer have a lot in common.
It is. I want my freedom. Morning walk, meals on time, treats for doing what it is told, afternoon walk, evening walk, bed-time walk. I would be fat and out of shape but for that little furry slave driver. And then just when you are about to rebel it whiplashes your face with a wet toungue.
[[“considers pet ownership to be a form of involuntary bondage.” ]]
But involuntary loss of life (euthanasia) is ok?
I’ll be honest here, I do think that PETA does one thing very well. Their willingness to infiltrate puppy mills and other facilities to expose conditions definitely serves a purpose. As someone who volunteers both time and money to multiple animal welfare causes-and someone who is hoping to establish a non-profit to that end one day, I commend them for that. However, in the same breath I must say that much of that good they do, is and has rapidly eclipsed by the bad. for instance, the number of kills at PETA-owned shelters is off the charts. PETA claims this is due to lack of funding to cover the costs, but then they throw money hand over fist to bring forth and litigate ridiculous legal battles like the one they brought on that guy who was rescuing his dog from a kangaroo.

A pretty flimsy excuse from an organization who admits that it views companion animals as slavery. To engage in maintaining a legit animal shelter would be engaging in the slave-trade would it not? It kills me that folks take animals to those shelters.
Likewise, the money they spend on the ridiculous public displays to “promote animal welfare” Is many times over the actual money they spend on the welfare of the animals in their shelters! At the end of the day, PETA is a political organization first and foremost, and an animal welfare organization when they “need” to be.
I would trade places with Sampson my Doberman in a second!!!
He is the BOY~!!!!!
Another group that has IT coming to them(PETA)
Freegards
As much as I enjoy seeing PETA getting a taste of its own medicine, that payment is another example of undue pet worship and animal rights extremism. A sum that large could do a lot of good for destitute people.
