Basically the way it worked was they would enourage pet owners to drop their pets off (folks who were moving or for whatever reason could no longer care for their animals) and promised to find a loving home for them.
They would also give them a line about needing money to feed them etc. and solicit donations.
After a few days they would kill the animals and pocket the money.
The Norfolk SPCA reported that PETA was killing more animals than they(the SPCA)were.
So, you might want to go back to swerving.
There's a big billboard in Times Square saying 'peta kills animals'. I saw it for myself too.
