• The difference between PeTA and Michal Vick is that Vick never raised money from the public pretending to SAVE the animals. Vick never pretended to be their advocate.
  
  PeTA wants to save all the animals raised for food, who have no other reason for existence and no natural habitat, yet they want to do away with companion pets by putting nearly all of them to death.
  
  Save the Pork, kill the Pooch.
  
  I've written about PeTA (their use of a small e for Ethical is fitting... they certainly are not _E_thical) and this issue on my blog.
  
  Adopt a PeTA Pet = Kill 9 more
  
  There are a few other posts that deal with their horrible antics as well: using sex to gain vegan converts, blaming responsible breeders of dogs with ad campaigns that claim that every dog you buy is a shelter dog you kill.
  
  Breeders don't kill dogs in shelters, PeTA does, 97% of the time.

• I wonder if all those stars who pose for PeTA's campaigns and also carry "purse dogs" know about this?

• No wonder you have comment moderation on with such blathering, inaccurate, and libelous blogs. Of course PETA has a high euthanasia rate--the animals they get in are in horrible shape and/or scheduled to be gassed to death slowly by incompetent and inhumane shelters in North Carolina, where the laws to protect animals are not where they should be. It's no-kill advocating flesh industry supporters such as yourself who cause millions of companion animals to be killed in non-humane ways and/or caged for years in warehouses sitting in their own defecation going slowly crazy from the confinement, lack of stimulation, and constant loud noise of other animals going insane.
  
  And every time you buy from a breeder you DO kill a shelter dog--think about it! There are already millions of animals in need of homes out there and breeders trying to make a buck are ensuring they remain homeless by pushing fluffy little puppies on everyone while plenty of wonderful dogs languish in shelters.
  
  You must be related to CCF, if not you just really need to learn to do some research before opening up your metaphorical internet mouth. Educate yourself: http://www.ConsumerDeception.com

• First, your headline is inaccurate. It implies that 97% of pets in the United States (or in the world) were killed.
  
  Second, it’s important for people to know what the Center for Consumer Freedom is. It’s a deceptively named group that was founded with money from the tobacco industry. (For more information, visit SourceWatch or ConsumerDeception.org.) The CCF’s goal was to put a positive spin on smoking. When that failed, they moved to other industries and are now funded by the restaurant, alcohol, meat and dairy industries.
  
  The CCF opposes Mothers Against Drunk Driving. And their MO is to try to discredit those groups that oppose the CCF. Peta is one of those groups because it cares about animals and doesn’t want people to murder them for food.
  
  Even if you disagree with Peta — and I know a lot of people do — please realize that even some animal-rights groups do not agree with everything Peta does. So if you hate Peta, look into supporting less-outrageous animal-rights groups like Vegan Outreach or Farm Sanctuary.
  
  The bottom line is that we all care about animals and don’t want to see them suffer.

• Notice how Haley calls this blog "blathering, inaccurate, and libelous" but she doesn't even try to find one fault in the information you posted.
  
  Where is the lie? What is inaccurate?
  
  If PeTA's murder rate is innacurate, then it is PeTA who is lying. The report came from them and was filed with the Federal Government.
  
  She then goes on to justify all the killing. I'm amazed that Haley knows so much about the condition of those animals. How could she know that 97% of them "needed" to be killed... and why in the world would any caring person find that believable?
  
  Tracy, likewise, trys to smear the information by nitpicking your headline... if PeTA had its way, they would put 100% of ALL companion animals to death. Thank god they only got their hands on 3,000 last year.
  
  She brings up that the CCF is an industry puppet... so? Their motives to fight back against PeTA are obvious, but that in no way makes the report false or inaccurate. CCF had nothing to do with the report. CCF is just waving it around and bringing attention to it.
  
  The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and PeTA is the enemy of all companion animals. That makes any industry puppet lobby group that is willing to expose PeTA for the killers and hypocrites they are, my friend.
  
  I'd be suspect if CCF made the study, but they didn't. It's a public record required to be filed by PeTA for the government. It still might be inaccurate, since PeTA is willing to lie. But I suspect that if anything on it is a lie, it's that they saved 12 dogs last year, not that they killed 3,000.

• First of all, to claim that the animals that come into PETA shelters are in such "horrible shape" that they have to be euthanized is ridiculous. While I'm sure that some pets that come in may have little chance for survival, I'm sure that if PETA fueled their donations (which I'm sure they have plenty of $$ to float around due to the high celebrity endorsements they get) toward medical care they might have just as many success stories as the ASPCA. At least with the ASPCA, I know where my donation goes and that not only do they SAVE the lives of animals that have endured such horrible cruelty and abuse, but have successfully changed legislation in 43 states that now makes animal cruelty a felony, teach to local law enforcement and animal welfare professionals (maybe PETA members should take a course or two) and have implemented Mission Orange, which is "a focused effort to create a country of humane communities...where animals receive the compassion and respect they deserve and NO adoptable animal is euthanized simply because of a lack of resources or awareness." They have successfully raised the adoption rate by 10% in these communities.
  
  That's why I'm a proud member of the ASPCA... not only do they save animals, but teach and help in the PREVENTION of cruelty of animals without spray painting fur coats.
  
  Now PETA's ideas are good... especially going after big businesses and fighting for the often forgotten pets (most everyone is more concerned about dogs and cats then say a hamster being abused or neglected), but it seems to me that they forget about the abuse that happens in the apartment or home next to us... not to mention the fact that there is an increase in violence against animals by children. What is PETA doing to about that? Instead they focus their efforts on things like trying to convince Roger Clemens to swear off drugs by becoming vegen. And yes, this is directly from PETA's website.
  
  And before anyone tries to dispute my claims about the ASPCA, my information came directly from their newsletter.

• Mark Twain only believed 10 % of what he read. This is right up there with the Willie Horton racist attack ad.
  Dog, cat,cow, horse, pig,racoon, chicken, the pain and suffering is the same.
  Peta knows how to shame the cruelty perpetrators, that makes for plenty of well funded enemies.

• Funny I did not see anything about syringes. Also feral animals are not companion animals, are you trying to say all of these animals were pets?
  It's easy to see you have agenda to discredit PETA. Try being a little objective in your writting.

• Haha, wow, the vegan freaks don't even believe PeTA's own official numbers.
  
  There's no way to sugar coat this. PeTA kills pets.
  
  A pig is not a dog is not a boy. And PeTA is not ethical. Notice the small e, even they know it.
  
  PeTA runs the most inefficent shelter in the history of man kind. Their office is like an Auschwitz, a concentration camp to kill pets.

• Everyone should watch the piece Penn and Teller did on PeTA. It was as factual as it gets. PeTA is nothing more than a business trying to make money and the bottom line is PROFIT!!! They No more care about animals than Vick does. Ingrid is nothing more than a NAZI who brainwashes her employees to believe everything she says is gospel. Then tosses the animals in the oven just like Hitler did!!!

• I'm all cool for people who are vegetarian, but my whole thing is that animals eat animals. Lions to Zebras, snakes to birds and eggs stuff like that. But i do agree that we need to stop such crule slaughterings. Its not right how they kill the animals so i check out the place where i get my meat.

  By  Nala, at 8:01 AM, February 05, 2008

• I'm all cool with the vegetarian thing but my mindset is that animals kill and eat other animals. Humans are animals so we can eat meat if we want to. My issue is the way we kill our animals. We shuld not be so crule to the animals that are feeding us. They need to find a better way of making our meat. Thats just my opinion.

• Dogs on the other hand, should not be used as fur. i dont understand how people can kill cute innocent dogs for fur and food in other countries. The only dog fur i would get is the kind that is made from dogs shedded fur so it doesnt hurt the animal.

• MAYBE THE PEOPLE WHO THINK PETA IS JUST DOING THIER JOB OR THE ONE WHO SAY THAT EVERYTIME YOU BUY FROM A BREEDER YOU KILL A HOMELESS DOG IN A SHELTER SHOULD PUT THEMSELVES THE THE DOG`S PLACE!! WE, INHUMANLY KILL THOUSANDS OF DOGS EVERY YEAR, AND I THINK THAT IS TERRIBLE. IF THESE SHELTERS CAN`T FIND OR ATTRACT PEOPLE TO COME AND BUY THESE ANIMALS, GIVE THEM AWAY!! IF SOME OF THESE SHELTERS WOULD PUT THIER PRIORITIES IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT INSTEAD OF WHAT`S GOOD FOR THIER WALLETS PETS WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF MAKING IT OUT OF A SHELTER, INSTEAD THEY ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED JUST LIKE THE JEWS WERE IN THE NAZI LABOR CAMPS!! I HOPE THE PEOPLE THAT RUN PETA NEVER SLEEP ANOTHER NIGHT IN PEACE, BUT I GUESS THEY THINK "MY WALLET IS FAT WHY SHOULD I CARE". THESE PEOPLE NEED THIER HEADS EXAMINED AND THEN FIRED ON THE SPOT AND THEN PUT IN A CAGE IN A KENNEL FOR A WEEK SO THEY CAN SIT IN THIER OWN SHIT AND PISS AND SEE HOW THEY LIKE IT!!!!!

• This is unbelievable!!(that you guys are being so unfair about pEta(notice the big E) PETA NEEDS to euthanize a lot of animals because the animals are, VERY sadly,not wanted.(of course, PETA wants them, but they can't find homes for them all)It's not ethical to stuff them in warehouses, only to die later.(no-kill shelter dogs have no fun, no love, and not even a life till they are adopted, and most never are) so peta kindly kills them, not in gas chambers, not anything but a painless shot!(I had a shot today. Shots ARE painless)PETA ROCKS!

• Actually PETA drives around in a van collecting perfectly adoptable dogs, cats, kittens and puppies with the promise to find them homes. As soon as they are out of sight, they stick a needle in the poor animals and murder them. The dead bodies of these perfectly healthy pets are then put in black garbage bags and dumped into garbage dumpsters. Two PETA employees were prosecuted - not for murdering adoptable pets - but for littering. Check your facts folks. PETA is NOT ethical no matter whether you spell it with a big or a little "e."

• I think it's mighty sad how and organizaton who claims to be for the rights and wellbeing of animals to and fro to sit down after they have everyone believing that they are some big organization who cares when come to find out that the only thing they care about is themselves. I think that anyone who reads this should take these words into consideration and stop suporting and organization of hypercrites.

• Several of you making comments about NO-KILL shelters have obviously never been to one. No kill shelters have volunteers that come in and work with the dogs to socialize, play and teach manners. They have play yards where all the dogs are go out and play roughouse and get exercise. Both of my dogs come from no-kill shelters. They are the greatest companions going.

• I have a question, a LEGITIMATE question, for you PeTA members that actually condone this.
  
  Who sent you all the memo telling you who lives and who dies? It's okay for you to go pick up a dog from a shelter and snuff it's life out, yet I'm called a murderer for eating steak? You can kill a cat and her little kittens before they even have a CHANCE for a home, yet I'M the bad guy for eating a chicken sandwich?
  
  So, what's your plan when you GET your way? You gonna do the same thing to the chickens, cows, and deer that you so self-righteously decided were worthy enough to save? We suppose to ask YOUR opinion on what animals are worthy to live?
  
  Really. Seriously. Tell me your plan. I'm listening.
  
  And while I'm waiting, I'm going to love on the precious cat I found on the riverbank four years ago. Thank God I'm the one who found him instead of the ethical people that would have killed him before his first birthday.

• PeTA only helpful if you don't think people should ever "own" an animal (or in my case of 2 spoiled dogs...be "owned" by an animal)They also don't feel you should ever be able to visit a zoo to learn more about wildlife that 99% of us could never afford to go see in the wild. PETA is in bed with IDA (In Defense of Animals) in their efforts to shut down zoos all across the country. They are starting with elephant exhibits. Next thing you know - you won't be able to see a naked mole rat in the zoo.

• Shutting down all the zoos huh? Wonder what they'll do with all the domesticated "wildlife" when that happens...If thye can't be turned loose and we can't eat them...they're probaly investing in needles as I write!

• WOW! This really upsets me! I was foolish enough to give my $25.00 dollar donation about three years ago. I had decided that I too, wanted to make a difference in animals lives and PETA seemed liked the place to start. I will say that right after I donated online, I decided that I wanted be more involved and communicate with others who felt the same way I did. So, I joined a PETA chatroom. What I found instead, was a bunch of dis-illusioned, hateful people. They did not ACCEPT you, unless you were a Vegetarian and were even hateful to you if you wanted to express your own opinion about it! That was an eye opener for me, because as an animal lover, I consider myself to be very loving and considerate to all ANIMALS (that includes humans). Reading this breaks my heart, but to know that there are so many of YOU out there that really do care, gives me hope.
  
  So to all the TRUE ANIMAL LOVERS, keep your head up, if we all DO something about this--WE CAN change it!!!

• Once all the animals are "saved " then we will have to start 'humanely' euthanizing ' due to over population. So, why is it ok to kindly kill an animal with no home,but NOT ok to kindly kill an animal to feed a starving family. Or is it just ok for Peta to kill... are they the only ones who know how to do it correctly? is that the point they are trying to make...thats kind of the point I'm getting!

• Personally, three dogs own me. My dogs are not animals, they are members of the family, and are treated as such, with respect and dignity. The problem with PETA in my opinion is they do not realize that GOD created animals to be eaten, by man. It is the food chain of life. Just as animals in the wild eat other animals. I personally do not hunt, but I do realize hunting is very regulated and without it animals such as deer would overpopulate and starve to death. PETA needs to get over themselves. I agree animals should not be tested on, but animals such as cows, chickens, deer are not pets. They are food. They should be treated as humanely as possible, in the process of making them food, but they are food. I would love to peek into the so called VEGANS closets and ensure they do not have anything made from an animals remains.

• Taking an animal out of a location where they actually do stand some chance of getting adopted, and killing them because they don't have a home is a huge part of the issue. If they left them in the shelter they stand a chance of living a happy life later...if they take them out and kill them...no chance. I am not sure where the major confusion comes from with this.
  PeTA has sadly fallen the way of a lot of well meaning organizations, in an effort to look like they are making a major stride in their work they have come up with a very creative (and cruel) way to boost the numbers of animals "helped" by them.
  This news is not new, people concerned with the welfare of animals have been watching this with a lot of interest for some time now. As the article alludes to.
  I for one will not support them, and will not support the WWF for many of the same reasons.

• Dont trash the liberals, PeTA is not our fault. And dont trash the vegans, even if they are a little crazy. Throwing paint on a fur coat is a dispicable way to "fight for animal rights" and gets little accomplished. However the crazies (vegans)have some very valid points. Im sure alot of these animals needed to be put down. And slaughter houses probably should practice more humane.. um.. slaughtering. Both sides need to get over themselves and there rightous indignation for eachother to try and solve the problem. I volunteer at an animal shelter and donate, the workers there are NOT incompatant like the vegan bitch wants you to believe. I wonder, what do all of you do to help? My guess, nothing, and that is more disgusting than PeTA!

• PeTA may be non-profit but that still doesn't mean the heads of PeTA don't make money. PeTA did save 80 companion animals last year, I'm sure the other 2,981 would be dead now, so thank you PeTA for you great and may I say ethical treatment of those 80 animals. PeTA calls itself an organization, but quickly degrades in to a mob at the first sign of fur? They throw paint on old ladies but are too chicken to do it to someone would paint them black and blue.
  
  ATTENTION ALL PeTA MEMBERS: YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF SPINELESS LIBERALS WHO COULD NOT SWALLOW THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW MEAT IS MADE. YOU ARE GULIBLE AND THOUGHT YOU FOUND AN ANSWER WITH PeTA. NOW WHEN FACED WITH UNDENIEBALE FATCS, YOU REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE HAD THE WOOL PULL OVER YOUR EYES, AND THAT YOUR PRECIOUS PeTA IS JUST ANOTHER MONEY GRUBING CORPERATION THAT YOU'VE TRAINED YOURSELF TO HATE ALL YOUR LIFE.

• As a vegetarian and a lifelong advocate for all animals, I used to donate to Peta, because they spoke up against the cruel treatment and senseless slaughter of farm animals. (Yes, other animals eat meat. But no other animals raise animals in cruel captivity and then kill them. Besides, humans are supposed to be more "evolved" than other animals...we have laws, ethics, compassion...we should use them!)
  
  I stopped donating several years back because I was so put off by Peta's sensationalist tactics and the fact that they are not straightforward about their motives. Why advertise the health problems, impotence, etc. associated with eating meat, when what you really oppose is the treatment of animals raised for meat? The insincerity of their compaigns detracts from the true, noble message.
  
  Given their history, I suspect that Peta's high kill rate for shelter pets is a tactic to reduce meat consumption. And guess what, I agree that it makes no sense to save a dog and then kill cows, turkeys, and chickens to feed that dog. That's why I feed my adopted dogs a vegetarian diet.
  
  BUT I strongly believe Peta is doing a disservice by devoting its resources toward killing shelter dogs and cats. They are straying from their mission of ethical treatment for ALL animals. They are losing credibility for their cause. And they are reinforcing the public opinion that humans have a right to take a healthy animal's life. Why not devote their efforts to spay/neuter programs that will reduce the number of dogs/cats, rather than killing adoptable animals? Why not support effective No-Kill shelters (not the shady "warehouse" kind, but the kind that utilize creative adoption and socialization programs to quickly move more animals into loving homes)?
  
  Peta needs to understand that our society will never stop torturing and killing cows and chickens until we can learn that the animals we consider to be pets ("our best friends") are not disposable. Advocating for dogs and cats (instead of killing them) is a step toward a more humane and ethical society, not a step away from it. Listen up, Ingrid.
