PETA Kills Far More Animals than Michael Vick - Shocking ain’t it?
Body Count For Animal “Rights” Group Reaches 14,479; Group Has Walk-In Freezer For Dead Puppies
WASHINGTON — While People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) protests the National Football League today over Michael Vick’s dog-fighting indictment, the animal “rights” group is ignoring its own sordid puppy-killing operation, the Center for Consumer Freedom said today. Public records released by the State of Virginia show that PETA itself has killed 14,479 dogs and cats since 1998, including 90 percent of the animals it took in for “adoption” in 2005. And PETA is presently more than 3 months overdue to report its 2007 numbers.
“It’s astonishing but true,” said Center for Consumer Freedom Director of Research David Martosko. “PETA itself kills helpless, adoptable animals by the thousands out of sheer inconvenience. Why anyone continues to take this bunch of hypocrites seriously is beyond me.”Documents relating to PETA’s massive animal-killing program can be found on the Internet at www.PETAkillsAnimals.com. In sworn testimony during the January 2007 animal-cruelty trial of two PETA employees, a PETA manager acknowledged that the organization has a walk-in freezer for the purpose of storing dead pets. She also acknowledged that PETA contracts with a Norfolk-area crematory service to dispose of the dead bodies, which measure over a ton each month.
Martosko continued: “PETA’s president acknowledges that her group could ‘become a no-kill shelter overnight.’ But that would mean the group could no longer afford to spend millions of dollars on cheap publicity stunts, to say nothing of harassing pet food companies, restaurants, and medical researchers.”
Another PETA employee faces grand larceny charges in southern Virginia, related to the alleged 2006 theft of a hunting dog and its radio-tracking collar. PETA has not yet indicated whether the dog in question was slated to be put to death.
In case you forgot…
With no apparent sense of irony, they chose the dumpster of a Piggly Wiggly supermarket to drop off the carcasses, wrapped in black plastic bags. Among them were a mother cat with her two very healthy kittens, and seven little puppies – dead by injection.
Nor did either of them appear to evince the slightest cognitive dissonance in acting as agents, and employees, of the very inaptly named “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals” (PETA). For at least two months they had been slaughtering and dumping animals that they obtained under false pretenses from shelters: they assured the attendants they would find the adoptable animals ‘good homes.’
Andrew Benjamin Cook and Adria Joy Hinkle are charged in a North Carolina court with only 31 felony counts of animal cruelty, eight misdemeanor counts of the illegal disposal of dead animals, and a charge of criminal trespassing. Yet they are apparently responsible for the death of more than a hundred animals. This is ethical?
We must not allow ourselves to be so distracted by the sordid details of this case that we view it as an aberration. Instead, it is all too emblematic of the core “values” of the PETA cash and terror machine.
PETA Kills Animals — And It’s A Felony
Old PETA radical weirdness from the past
Sphere: Related Content(Link) Radical groups such as PETA have taken this “Fishing Hurts” campaign to ugly extremes. Anti-fishing activists in America and Europe have intimidated researchers, dispatched topless demonstrators dressed as menacing mermaids to upset children’s fishing programs, and thrown rocks at and sent scuba divers to scare fish away from angling waters. They’ve even tried to bully the Boy Scouts of America into dropping their traditional fishing merit badge.
“We seek to shift the ways animals are viewed, from being a resource to be exploited to that of the community of individuals that they are,” PETA’s Dawn Carr sanctimoniously explained a few years ago.

As an owner of a beautiful German Shephard and an equally spiritied Mini-Schnauzer, I was really upset initially with Mr. Vick’s decisions. Then I thought that in some countries dogs are domesticated, farmed and eaten as food. Wow! Talk about terrible! Then I thought, what about the animals we in the U.S.A. domesticate, farm and eat. Who is standing up for the plight of the helpless chickens and cows…what about the pigs and turkeys? Yeah, yeah, I know what you are going to say…it was just a thought anyway.

This a lie! PETA has not killed ANY animals. Why would they dedicate their lives to saving animals from the pain and suffering people inflict on them daily and then kill animals themselves!? They don’t. They save animals from horrid conditions they recieve at slaughterhouses or someones backyard. Whoever said that peta kills animals is part of what called a front group i believe. That is where there representing KFC, Cattle ranchers or anyone else Peta has confronted about the horrible things they do to innocent animals. Animals dont have a voice, they can not save themselves, thats why there are people like PETA, the largets animal welfare orginization in the world, to be their voice and stand up for what is right. We must treat all living creatures with respect and compassion.

I was wondering how many animals were killed in shelters acrossed the country because no one had adopted them and we could no long afford to feed them? I guess no one cares about that statistic, instead lets attack someone who people generally just don’t like because their to lazy to make the changes that would be better for their body, the environment, and animals all around. Remember a long long time ago when the cigarette companys bribed doctors to make up phoney statistics and lies saying cigarettes weren’t bad for you? Look how well that turned out…your really don’t think that maybe meat companys who make millions off the suffering of inoccent animals might do the same? What would you do to someone who threatened to take away your million dollar paycheck? PETA supports spaying and nutering, and just like the humane society or your local animal shelter, when they can’t pay for all the animals they take in, yes they have to be put down. So lets blame them instead of making the changes nessisary so peta would no longer have to take animals in? This is pure lazieness!! Wake up!! Take responcibility for yourself! Don’t blame other people so you can sleep well at night!
