In 2013, PETA killed 1,792 cats and dogs, an average of 5 per day. The 1,792 figure represents 82 percent of all animals PETA took into its shelter throughout the year.
‘This delusional animal rights group is talking out of both sides of its mouth – on one side preaching animal rights, while on the other signing the death warrant of 82 percent of cats and dogs in its care. Labeling PETA as hypocritical would be the understatement of the year,’ said Will Coggin from the Center for Consumer Freedom.
In 2005, two PETA employees were arrested in North Carolina after allegedly killing adoptable pets and tossing the bodies into a supermarket trash dumpster.

82% killed in 2013?
So that’s somewhat of an improvement over their past decade’s performance, depending on which side of this debate you’re on.

Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh was discussing how some Democrats saw the Obamacare fiasco as not quite an insurance law, but also something that will … free people from their life of work. Freed, being the operative word.
When I’d read in the past that some individuals within PETA or their kinfolk over at the US Humane Society saw the killing of animals as freeing them from this hell we live on earth, I thought it was as *out there* as could be, alas I see this idea has infected others on the left.
Here’s some coyotes that have been “freed” from their life of having to eat the back legs off cows:

Don’t look, you’ll be offended.
Ontario’s revisionist History text for grade seven has a special box explaining PETA’s concern for animals alongside the fur trade of New France in the 1600s. Absolutely obscene juxtaposition by the know-nothing, jump-on-any-bandwagon curriculum writers.
Pretty darn fancy building for a “charity” and all the logo’ed cars in the parking lot. Sweet scam they have going there, eh?
And on a related note: I was in the local hotel having a beer, and a sports channel was on the TV. They were interviewing somebody, and the background was a big poster for HumaneWatch.org
I’m pleased to see them getting noticed on major media, but wondered if anybody else had seen it, or knows the context.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.. How do you protect all the animals and still maintain the lifestyle and PR necessary to run such a large organization..
Unable to fulfill their own mandate they should fold up and go home..
I have a old dog that I happen to love.. Puke and crap and all the fun stuff of a dog past his best before date.. Some days, I tell yaa.. But he is still a good and loyal friend that deserves to be put down tomorrow..
Its been that way now for a couple of years now.. Loyalty cuts both ways in my book.. If he cant get up or if he cant feed any more.. If he wont do his business outside.. Its time.. You can actually notice the poo coming closer and closer to your door.. No energy to go to the back corner.. Yet he is still trying to be a good boy and Im still adjusting my expectations..
When its time, I will take him and be with him when it happens..
Tell him he’s a good boy for the last time.. Touch him and talk to him while it happens.. Cry my eyes out.. Loyalty is not a convenience its a responsibility..
The Socialist creep is now full bore in the Ontario Public School system. It’s to be hoped responsible parents are paying attention.
Now it appears they’re trying to neutralize genders, apparently looking like a boy or girl is not
necessarily how you might feel.
“In 2005, two PETA employees were arrested in North Carolina after allegedly killing adoptable pets and tossing the bodies into a supermarket trash dumpster.”
Sort of the same as abortion of human babies.
Oh, I forgot.
The adoptable pets were animals, the adoptable aborted humans were tissue.
Problem solved.
Here’s a tune from Fred eaglesmith that you might enjoy:

Love your post Jay, all pets deserve the best and that would be owners like you.
That’s a nice fuzzy wuzzy bunny, I love my bunny, niiiiice fuzzy bunny. Bunny your so nice, and fuzzy.
Regarding the human degrading organization known as PETA, no one has given a better assessment than Jennifer Lawrence, the actress from the Hunger Games : ” Screw PETA “.
It is impossible, I think, to deprecate either the ghastly philosophy animating PETA, or the actions taken by its members strongly enough.
Maybe we can do all of us plus the earch a favour by convincing a lot of these nutbars that they can escape this world that they despise so much by killing themselves…hey a useful purpose for assisted suicide.
or a very late post natal abortion!!
If you take in animals who no one else will place or help, of course the euthanasia rate is going to be high. It’s like complaining that a hospice has a high mortality rate.
PETA takes in the worst of the worst cases and offers a service to the community, which includes providing a peaceful, painless death to elderly, ailing, or injured companion animals. Many of the animals reflected in PETA’s animal care records were euthanized by request of their human companions. PETA routinely transfers highly adoptable animals to a local open-admission shelter so that those animals have a chance at finding a loving, permanent home.
Until people stop buying from breeders, dogs and cats will continue to die in large numbers.
PETA deserves thanks, not condemnation, for doing the right thing for animals no one else will help—those who are suffering, dying, feral, aggressive, and unadoptable.
Most of the animals PETA takes in aren’t the kind of animals people are seeking out for “pets.” They are dogs who are aggressive and used to soiling their living areas because they have been kept chained their entire lives; feral cats with contagious diseases; animals who are wracked with cancer; elderly animals who have no quality of life and whose desperate guardians brought them to PETA because they can’t afford to pay a vet to euthanize them; and the list goes on. (See some of them here: http://investigations.peta.org/petas-rescue-team/)
PETA pours its time and money into stopping animal homelessness at its source—the only real and humane way to end euthanasia. Last year, they spayed and neutered 11,229 dogs and cats at little to no cost to their guardians, preventing countless animals from being born only to end up homeless. They deliver warm, straw-filled doghouses to chained dogs; provide free vet care; educate the public about the need to spay, neuter and adopt through ads and PSAs; and so much more.
I knew about–and supported–PETA’s policy on euthanasia long before I joined. Instead of blaming animal protection groups who work to help homeless animals by promoting spaying and neutering and shelter adoptions, please focus on breeders, pet stores, and people who buy animals rather than adopting them.
I’m not sure why people are so quick to play into the CCF’s propaganda and bash PETA for doing the exact same thing that shelters across the country do every single day. It’s a fact: 3 to 4 million animals must be euthanized every year in this country for lack of good homes. It’s not the fault of the people who have to do the dirty work. It’s the fault of the people who buy animals from breeders, pet stores, and puppy mills rather than adopting, the people who don’t spay and neuter, and the people who treat animals as disposable. PETA transfers many adoptable animals that it is called about to high-traffic shelters where they will get much more visibility, without even admitting them to PETA’s shelter. It doesn’t do much for the “numbers” but then PETA has always more concerned with helping animals than with polishing the numbers.
