PETA killed 17,400 animals since 1998

Ah yes, the good ‘ol People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).  What a bunch of scumbags.

 According to an official report from (PETA), that was submitted to the Virginia government, the animal rights group put to death more than 97 percent of the dogs, cats, and other pets it took in for adoption in 2006! 

Not counting animals that PETA held only temporarily in its spay/neuter program, the organization took in 3,061 “companion animals” in 2006. (continued below)

Of those 3,061, it killed 2,981.

According to Virginia’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in VA was just 34.7 percent during the same period of time. PETA killed 97.4 percent of the animals it took in. The organization filed its 2006 report this month, nine months after the government deadline of March 31, 2007.

In courtroom testimony last year, a PETA manager acknowledged that her organization maintains a large walk-in freezer for storing dead animals, and that PETA contracts with a Virginia cremation service to dispose of the bodies. In that trial, two PETA employees were convicted of dumping dead animals in a rural North Carolina trash dumpster.
