Exclusive: PETA’s Pet Killing Program Set a New Record in 2008
Public Records: PETA Found Adoptive Homes for Less than 1 out of 300 Animals
Animal lovers worldwide now have access to more than a decade’s worth of proof that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) kills thousands of defenseless pets at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. Since 1998, PETA has opted to “put down” 21,339 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens instead of finding homes for them.
PETA’s “Animal Record” report for 2008, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 95 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2008, PETA found adoptive homes for just seven pets.
Just seven animals -- out of the 2,216 it took in. PETA just broke its own record.
Why would an animal rights group secretly kill animals at its headquarters? PETA’s continued silence on the matter makes it hard to say for sure. But from a cost-saving standpoint, PETA’s hypocrisy isn’t difficult to understand: Killing adoptable cats and dogs – and storing the bodies in a walk-in freezer until they can be cremated – requires far less money and effort than caring for the pets until they are adopted.
PETA has a $32 million annual budget. But instead of investing in the lives of the thousands of flesh and blood creatures in its care, the group spends millions on media campaigns telling Americans that eating meat, drinking milk, fishing, hunting, wearing leather shoes, and benefiting from medical research performed on lab rats are all “unethical.”
The bottom line: PETA’s leaders care more about cutting into their advertising budget than finding homes for the nearly six pets they kill on average, every single day.
The Virginia Beach SPCA, just down the road from PETA’s Norfolk headquarters, manages to adopt out the vast majority of the animals in its care. And it does it on a shoestring budget.
Years of public outrage has not been enough to convince PETA to eliminate its pet eradication program.
Now the death toll of animals in PETA’s care has reached 21,339, including more than 2,000 pets last year. That’s not an animal charity. It’s a slaughterhouse.

It is harder to adopt a pet from PETA than to adopt a child through state agencies.
how many chines resturants do they own
Strange how peta never says a word about Eid al-Adha.
And how touching of Best Buy to celebrate the “Festival of Sacrifice” ritually celebrated by Muslims with the slaughtering of camels, bulls, sheep in the streets,they cut their throats and let the blood drain and they watch them die.
The American Family Association, a Christian advocacy group, has singled out Best Buy for using “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.” However, Best Buy says they will start using Christmas again. PETA where is your outrage over the Silencing of the Lambs?

I would love to see Mark Levin take PETA on with this information! It would be one for the ages.
If I remember correctly, PETA prefers to kill pets because they consider the very concept of having pets as morally repugnant — akin to slavery. So they consider killing potential pets to be more respectful if their dignity than allowing them to be adopted.
Good thing for the blacks that there weren’t any PETA abolitionists in the antebellum South.
Behind the human mask is pure evil.
