PETA, the organization widely known for its over-the-top progressive activism for animals, is refusing to condemn Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed after serious animal abuse allegations came to light from his tenure as Detroit’s health director.
A report from the Daily Mail found that El-Sayed was the subject of whistleblower complaints after he ascended to the post of health director in Detroit. Under his watch nearly 4,700 cats and dogs were euthanized, and an untold number died from malnutrition and lack of medical care, all while being subject to unsanitary conditions.
The problem grew so bad that one former employee called the Department of Animal Control under El-Sayed’s reign a “dog slaughterhouse.”
“I was almost embarrassed with myself to be part of a team that played a role of the death of so many dogs in their cages," Detroit Animal Control whistleblower Brittany Roberts told the Daily Mail regarding the neglect. "Every morning, we’d just walk around and see who was alive before we could even feed."
When asked for comment regarding El-Sayed’s shocking actions, PETA told Townhall that the blame shouldn’t be laid at the candidate’s feet.
“Every public official who oversees an animal shelter inherits the same heartbreaking challenge: there are far more homeless dogs and cats than there are good homes for them,” a PETA spokesperson told Townhall. “Animal shelters should be open-admission, meaning they never turn animals away, and shelter workers are often forced to make difficult decisions when animals outnumber available homes.”

All of the issues do not matter, only the revolution matters. Why can people not see this? Gather them all together and kill them. That is what they are going to do to us.
Ze bugs go first.
Everybody’s scared to offend the musloids.
What a surprise.🙄
PeTA will look the other way if the organization you front for also kills large numbers of human beings.

Why would PeTA condemn him? He’s just doing with they do, after all.
Ask anyone, who lives in the Hampton Roads area of VA just what they think about PeTA’s fondness for killing pets, and driving the carcasses across the state line to toss them in dumpsters behind places like the Walmart in Elizabeth City NC.
Somebody is really going to whip El-Kabongs ass before he ever becomes an AMERICAN senator. Friggin muzzie anchor baby.
PETA euthanizes dogs and cats, too. That’s been known for years.
If they refuse to condemn him it confirms that their entire operation is a political scam. Rub their noses in it.
Then I guess it’s up to decent people who follow Proverbs 12:10, and care for their animals.
(And decent people should “take care of” abusers.)
PITA can’t condemn him because PETA euthanizes just as many animals that it takes in and probably has the same conditions.
That’s its dark little secret.
Yup, PETA kills animals. Nothing Ethical about them.
Leftists do stick together.
Their desire to control supersedes whatever alleged mission they were created for.
I said this on a thread last night. PETA overlooked this and Fauci’s Beagle lab experiments. Disgusting.

Have you not been playing attention?
I am ALL for using democrat party established tricks on themselves. Use this to destroy that little pedo Muslim goblin.
However... it was detroit. A world class s hole of ghetto thugs that raise “ghetto pony” pit bulls. Any animal coming out of that s hole is likely a feral would most likely not be trained.
Feral Muslims need put down. Not innocent ghetto ponies.
I’m shocked I tell ya!!
