PETA killed more than 1,600 cats & dogs at its Virginia headquarters last year - 90% of the animals handed over to the charity's America she
Animal rights charity PETA killed almost 90 per cent of dogs and cats placed in the care of the shelter at its Virginia headquarters last year, it has been revealed today.

The charity, well-known for attention grabbing publicity campaigns such as the 'I'd rather go naked' anti-fur campaign, euthanized 1,647 cats and dogs last year and only placed 19 in new homes according to the data submitted to the Virginia Department for Agriculture and Consumer Services.

PETA told Mail Online that the animals they take in at the center are 'unadoptable', however 89.4 per cent of pets is much higher than their own approximation that half of animals taken to shelters end up being euthanized.

They were not able to find a new home for them. This is 'normal' in the US.

There isn't a shelter in the country that has such a high kill rate as PETA. Sometimes, they seek out animals to kill (See article below)

The truth is that the top people of PETA hate pet ownership. They believe that all dogs and cats should be killed and that no animal should be owned by a person. Yet ignorant pet owners keep sending them money each year, proving that people are idiots.


PETA employees' prosecution exposed a shocking (and deadly) practice



People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) recently criticized activities on Groundhog Day as being “cruel.” They have also called for the replacement of Punxsutawney Phil with a robotic look-alike.

While PETA frequently accuses others of animal cruelty, the organization has its own checkered history in that regard.


On June 15, 2005 two PETA employees were arrested and charged with 31 counts of felony animal cruelty. The two (Adria J. Hinkle, 27 and Andrew B. Cook, 24 both of Norfolk, Va.) were alleged to have killed scores of dogs and cats, depositing their bodies into an Ahoskie, N.C. dumpster.


Hinkle and Cook were making trips from PETA headquarters in Virginia to Eastern North Carolina veterinarian offices, and obtaining animals under the guise of adoption assistance. Once the pair had their PETA van loaded with dogs and cats in need of good homes, they administered lethal injections to the abandoned pets. They would then pull up to a dumpster and toss the still warm bodies.


Over a two-year period, Ahoskie Animal Hospital released 50 animals to PETA. Upon learning of the charges, Dr. Patrick Proctor, DVM was particularly upset over the loss of a mom and her two kittens (he had recently turned the cats over to Hinkle and Cook). “These were just kittens we were trying to find homes for,” said Proctor. "PETA said they would do that, but these cats never made it out of the county." Dr. Proctor went on to vow that "PETA will never pick up another animal from my practice."


PETA was also picking up animals from the veterinary practice of Dr. James Brown in Northampton County, N.C. Dr. Brown was shocked by the actions of PETA. He told the Virginian-Pilot: “When they started taking them, they said they would try to find homes for them. Nobody ever checked on them.”

You all have a very selective love for animals and are seeking for a justification for meat consumption. PETA promotes veganism which is a very good thing, ethically and environmental.


You better feel sorry for the farm animals, which are also killed for cat food. Such a shame.

most cat food is made from slaughterhouse junk (bones, beaks, feet, heads, etc) and in some cases, euthanised animals.

PETA quotes:

"Let us allow the dog to disappear from our brick and concrete
jungles--from our firesides, from the leather nooses and chains
by which we enslave it." --John Bryant, Fettered Kingdoms: An
Examination of A Changing Ethic (Washington, DC: People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA), 1982), p. 15.

"The cat, like the dog, must disappear... We should cut the
domestic cat free from our dominance by neutering, neutering, and
more neutering, until our pathetic version of the cat ceases to
exist." --John Bryant, Fettered Kingdoms: An Examination of A
Changing Ethic (Washington, DC: People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals (PeTA), 1982), p. 15.

Hopefully PETA will shake up the Virginia office. It seems to be the only PETA subsidiary that is operating in this way.

Love Love.

all forms of life are dependent on others to survive.
If you want to live on planet earth, you will have to kill and consume another form of life.

Plants are just as alive as animals. If you kill plants instead of animals, your not doing "better", your just killing and consuming a different life form.
 Quoting: secretninja


Except many plants want to be eaten. No animals do. Thats why plants have fruit...and animals have claws, teeth, legs, eyes, ears and a brain. Thats why humans get sick from eating most raw meat. Thats why humans dont have the teeth or digestive tract of carnivores.

Your argument is laughably stupid and not genuine at all.
