PETA people are either industrial strength stupid or they are just pulling a decades-long joke on society...............

I’ve always seen PETA as a sort of dumb idea machine.

PETA again takes aim at the no-kill movement

In 2023, the PETA shelter took in 3,117 dogs and cats and took the lives of 2,471 of those pets. That’s a save rate of less than 21%. Really? 79% of the animals they took in were beyond medical or behavioral intervention? When you compare that with the more than 62% of all shelters in the United States that are at or above the no-kill threshold of 90%, it’s understandable why PETA is aggressively defensive when it comes to no-kill, but the question remains … why?

[Bigg Red]

PETA engages in no activity that actually benefits the welfare of beasts. For example, there are no PETA shelters for dogs and/or cats.

Gov. Shapiro is going to need it. Jury selection for Ellen Greenberg's parents' trial against the City of Philadelphia begins Monday. On Friday, the former ME provided an affidavit saying her death should have been ruled a homocide.

If cause of death gets changed officially, that could re-toll the statute of limitations for a wrongful death lawsuit against her fiancé, whose family had all types of high level connections in the PA political and legal establishments...including a certain former attorney general whose office sat on the case for years, before quietly sending it back to Chester county due to a potential, unstated "conflict of interest."

This is nothing but a triangulation play and part of Shapiro’s 28 run. Probably a set up.

I’m a devout animal rights guy but I don’t support PETA because I’ve never seen any definitive accountability regarding how its charitable income is used to ensure the ethical treatment of animals.

[Red Badger]

No animals should ever be mistreated, tortured or allowed to starve.

What exactly has PETA ever done to ensure these things never happen?

All I’ve ever seen them do is make stupid press releases about renaming sports teams, Not using names of animals in advertising and just plain being a nuisance............
