AHOSKIE -- On Thursday, two employees of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) were arrested on 31 felony animal-cruelty charges for killing and disposing of dogs and puppies in a dumpster. The Center for Consumer Freedom is calling on Americans to stop making donations to support PETA.
When Ahoskie police arrested PETA employees Andrew Cook and Adria Hinkle late Thursday, they found 18 dead dogs in a nearby shopping-center dumpster (including a bag containing seven dead puppies), and 13 more dead dogs in the PETA-owned van the two were driving. Police observed them throwing several dark-colored bags into the dumpster before the arrests were made.
This is not the first public mention of PETA's large-scale euthanasia program. In May 2005 the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) unveiled a giant Times Square billboard and a new website ( http://www.PetaKillsAnimals.com ). CCF had obtained official records from the state of Virginia showing the militant animal-rights group had put over 10,000 dogs and cats to death since 1998.
In 2003 PETA euthanized over 85 percent of the animals it took in, finding adoptive homes for just 14 percent. By comparison, the Norfolk SPCA found adoptive homes for 73 percent of its animals and the Virginia Beach SPCA adopted out 66 percent. PETA's required report documenting its 2004 record is currently over 4 weeks late according to CCF.
Martosko added: "Last month when we launched PetaKillsAnimals.com, we warned the public that PETA was not the warm and kind group it claimed to be. Now it's clearer than ever that Americans who truly want to help animals should donate to their local animal shelter, not to PETA."
oh and stop posted comments saying
Q: " likeeee oh muhh gosshh your such a hypocrite if your against PETA why are you in a PETA blogring?!"
A:common sense here. what is my purpose of making a antipeta site? to try and get some people to stop supporting peta... now where do you find peta supporters? IN A PETA BLOGRING! make sense now dumbass?
Q:
A:
ok heres why peta should put some concern towards such things as the AIDS epidemic.. PETA as you know has many followers mainly young impressionable teenagers,
Now what happens when PETA shows pictures on their site saying " Everyone in Simple Plan is Vegetarian.. GO VEG!" ? heres what happens hundreds of teenagers are now vegetarian.
say if PETA has another one of those things with a band but this time they say " Simple Plan has donated thousands of dollars to Save The Children.. GO DONATE!"
What do you think occurs after that? PEOPLE GO AND DONATE... LOTS OF PEOPLE ! because PETA has an extraordinary scary power over teenagers. they've built a little army of peta supports willing to spend money
this power could be used for good, but who really knows where its going.
I understand where your coming from about PETA being a organization devoted to animals, but still it has the power to help the world out a lot by advertising other things. As many as a million people are living with HIV in the USA and that more than half a million have died after developing AIDS.
Would it kill PETA to add that in somewhere, just maybe to get some people aware?
i need some support here so if you agree with what i have to say subscribe and such.
if you want a good laught read PETA_grl9 's comments trying to save PETA's reputation
