Wasn't it found once that PETA also has a killing chamber for animals they "rescue"?

Do you want to bet that she weighs more than a duck?

Much more, and it isn't cuz she's made of wood. XD

I wonder if she's turned any men into newts....

PETA kills more animals that most shelters.

They don't even try to find homes for the ones they pick up, and they've gotten in hot water more than once for claiming to be placing animals they just outright kill, including highly-adoptable ones, such as young kittens and puppies.

They also had a team going around and picking up healthy animals from shelters under false pretenses, killing them in their van (and then lying about having tried to find homes despite having the animals for less than a day), and then dumping the bodies in other companies' trash bins. PETA tried to claim they knew nothing about the operation, but other than the dumping, this is really SOP for them.

Dr. Daniel Kovich of the Virginia agriculture department determined that PETA employees kill 84 percent of the animals in their custody within 24 hours of receiving them. That's not even long enough to do an assessment.

They try to claim that they only take the worst cases of animals that can't be adopted out, but we all know that to be bullshit. They're a bunch of anti-animal zealots out to push animals back into dwindling habitats where they can die and be killed without any human intervention. >_>

Yes, the "Penn & Teller: Bullshit" show had an episode totally devoted to PETA, wherein the killing chambers and the insulin issue (amongst other issues) are covered.

Here's the episode:

though you might find an episode with better resolution on Hulu or Netflix, if you're in the US.

Yes, but they got better.

Some time ago, a person posted on her wall a link to some story about dogfighting, and said, "This is the type of cruelty that you should be campaigning against, not livestock that's raised for the table."

But how is it cruelty to animals to rig a couple of AT-6s with laser scoring systems and use them for simulated aerial combat?

I agree that the PETA types are a bunch of hypocrites. They feel that wearing animal skins is wrong, so they throw paint on middle-aged women wearing fur coats. Meanwhile, they ignore other people wearing animal skins - such as bikers in leather jackets. They should put their money where their mouths are (literally - dental work ain't cheap) and treat all skin-wearers the same way.

Seriously, I would pay good money to watch a bunch of PETA loons throw paint on a group of Hell's Angels.

I've read rumours of PETA "rescuing" (read STEALING) happy and beloved pets from people's yards .

We don't let our cats out much- one only goes out with my parents when they're working in the yard, and the other hardly gets out at all, but if anyone tried that on our cats, they'd get throat punched. Or be used as sword fodder- I've got a collection.

PETA seems to have a policy of doing whatever the fuck they feel like to further their own goals, whatever the hell they happen to be (because they sure as shit aren't what they claim they are).

From grabbing people's pets out of their yards, discarding collars and other identification, claiming to take animals to be adopted before turning around and destroying them, using celebrities' likenesses without permission (particularly egregious when said celebrity doesn't support them at all), dumping bodies in dumpsters they don't own, allowing untrained personnel handle controlled substances, etc, etc, etc.

Apparently there are very few things they won't do, law and decency be damned.

I may not agree with some kinds of fur(chinchilla comes to mind off the bat), however at least animal fur/leather lasts for years if properly cared for(my grandmother had a 90 year-old mink coat), while the petroleum based fake fur/leather lasts a few years at most, and while the real fur/leather will eventually rot/biodegrade can the same be said about the petrochemical plastic they tout as an alternative?(hint: no)

yup, funneling money away from legitimate animal shelters with their "humane society of the united states" crap that does not operate a single shelter, but has a huge advertising budget, and all those tear-jerking commercials with Sarah McLaughlin songs. Stealing service animals from the disabled, and their "goal" is for all animals to be "free from human slavery", even if it means their extinction.

Reminds me in a way of the hunt sabs who kept attacking fox hunts, back when they were legal in Britain. They loved foxes so much... yet, they obviously hated hounds and horses when they pepper sprayed foxhounds, or threw fireworks at horses.

[bunnyboy]

As usual PETA and their ilk, falls into a trap that happens too often.

They simply forget that we're apex predatory animals.

Anthrocentrism at its second worst. And just like the worst there's the subtext of we aren't just animals that can think abstractly.

Then again I remember didn't they try to force a literal carnivore to be vegan?
