Shocking revelations? Who's shocked? Are you shocked? I'm not shocked. PETA cares nothing for animals; like all anarchists, they're interested merely in destruction and control.
Could we not have guessed this?
Raving liberals always accuse their opponents of EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO.
A rule cast in stone.
Perverts Euthanizing The Animals--now we know the rest of the story.
PETA is a lobbying group. They hide behind fuzzy animals as the front agenda.
I'd like to know how many dinners they expensed at Morton's.

PETA Kills Animals Hypocritical Animal Rights Organization Put 10,000 Animals To Death

New York City -- While loudly complaining about the "unethical" treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has been hiding its own dirty little secret. PETA kills animals, and visitors to New Yorks famed Times Square during the month of May will see a 60-by-60-foot billboard carrying that message, in a rare splashy advertisement that PETA wont appreciate. Information obtained from the State of Virginia shows that PETA has a long-standing practice of killing thousands of dogs, cats, and other animals at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. Along with the billboard, the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom is unveiling a new website -- www.PetaKillsAnimals.com -- where PETAs hypocritical death toll is on display.
Between 1998 and 2003, PETA put to death over 10,000 dogs, cats, and other creatures that the group publicly calls companion animals. Not counting those that PETA held only temporarily -- for spaying or neutering -- the group killed over 85 percent of the animals it took in during 2003.
PETA raked in nearly $29 million last year, said Center for Consumer Freedom research director David Martosko, and much of it was from pet owners who thought their donations actually helped animals. Instead, PETA killed them -- while spending millions on programs equating meat eaters with Nazis, scaring young children away from drinking milk, recruiting kids into a radical animal-rights lifestyle, and even defending arsonists and other violent extremists.
Other animal protection agencies near PETA's Virginia headquarters "put down" a much smaller percentage of the animals entrusted to them. In 2003 the Norfolk SPCA found adoptive homes for 73 percent of its animals. The Virginia Beach SPCA adopted out 66 percent. PETA could only manage 14 percent.
Were out to tell the truth about PETA, added Martosko. This groups duplicity knows no bounds. PETA accepts animal-lovers donations with one hand while administering lethal injections to puppies and kittens with the other. Thats not ethical. Its hypocritical.
The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition supported by restaurants, food companies, and consumers, working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.

Well, now I understand why PETA objected to the People Eating Tasty Animals web site. Obviously, that's their hidden name.

Oh. I see. 'Companion animals' are the animals PETA can kill.
I got the definition now Sunsong.
Plenty of money for political lobbying.
Exactly. Apparently there are more important things for them to do than to uphold their core principles.
and........MONEY!!
And unfortunately most are taxpayer funded and of non profit tax exempt status.
