PETA Really Loves Animals, Right?
Remember those PETA ads? The ones that equate wearing fur with killing pets? And saying they’d rather go naked than wear fur?
OK, we get it PETA. You don’t wear fur. But you also don’t exactly seem to have much use for animals, either.
1,843 animals were left at PETA’s shelter at their Virginia HQ last year – 1,110 cats and 733 dogs. 130 (22 cats, 108 dogs) were transferred to another shelter. The disposition of 41 others (34 cats, 7 dogs) was listed as “miscellaneous”. 5 (2 cats, 3 dogs) were reclaimed by their owners.
A grand total of 20 were placed in new homes. (The linked article says 19, but the math seems off – 7 cats and 13 dogs aren’t accounted for when you do the math.)
Do I really need to spell out what happened to the other 1,647 (1,045 cats and 602 dogs)? Or to a total of 29,398 animals since 1998?
Hypocritical bastards. With as much $$$ as PETA pulls in from donations, you think maybe they could find a way to find homes for more than 10.64% of the animals left at their shelter. And that 10.64% is best case. I’m guessing not all of the 130 dogs and cats transferred to another shelter ended up placed in new homes. And God only knows what “miscellaneous” means.
Maybe that “E” in PETA doesn’t stand for “Ethical” after all. Given the above another word beginning with “E” comes to mind that certainly seems more apropos.

PETA runs kill shelters. That’s the end of the story.
And that “miscellaneous” part? Think “research.”
PETA doesn’t survive just from donations.
Some of their ‘people’ were busted for killing animals with euthanasia drugs and equipment found in their vehicle, and subsequently disposing of the animals, mostly dogs, by throwing into dumpsters.
The PETA people need to be dropped off on a planet with T Rexes everywhere. Could we start the Coliseum games again?
As the folks over at ihatethemedia.com say, PETA now stands for “People Euthanizing Terrified Animals”.
I’m not sure why I find this amusing…

People should check out the PETA episode of Penn and Teller’s “Bullsh!t!” show. Good insight into how insane that group is. And having worked as an Investigator at what is probably the most famous aquatic animal park in the country, I’ve had my fair share of crazyness in dealing with the group.
People Eating Tasty Animals, are as clueless and as much a problem as that dipshit bunch “Shepherds of the Sea”, who, out in the middle of the South Pacific, (Antarctica area actually), pulled one of their ships between a refueling ship and a Japanese Whale research ship,as they were attempting to refuel. What a bunch of losers.
These are the same idiots that sued Sea World for using the whales as “slave labor”.
And who wrote to ben and jerry’s asking them to stop using cow milk and to substitute it with breast milk.
And, for that matter, the same idiots who wrote to a texas prison suggesting that an inmate on death row for cannablism be put on a strict vegetarian diet.
Yeah, the genius keeps on coming.
@6 except those Jap research vessels are actually whaling ships harvesting whales in violation of the international treaties regarding such activities.
I’m no fan of the 4ssclowns working with Paul Watson (who is so obnoxious he was kicked out of the organization he co-founded, Greenpeace, for being a d1ck) but I will give them credit for having the balls to follow their sense of outrage at a blatant lie from the Japanese and try and prevent the Japanese from violating those whaling agreements by focusing some publicity on that subject while the rest of the world pretends it’s not really happening.
I’m not surprised at the PETA stuff, the animals are going to go somewhere, to homes or an early grave. It’s what happens with a nation of irresponsible 4ssholes allowed to purchase domestic animals like sacks of rice at the grocery store….
There is a simple explanation for the missing unadopted animals. PETA’s shelter in next door to a Chinese Buffet.
PETA is just another bunch of snot-brained liberals, and I wouldn’t be surprised if their top echelon were found to be treating themselves to nice, plush, six-digit salaries!
As the adopter of two shelter cats, they shouldn’t call themselves People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. They should just call themselves Monsters inc, because that’s what they are…..MONSTERS!
They are worse than a bunch of liberals. They are almost a criminal enterprise…if not a criminal enterprise. In the fashion industry what they do is basically they will shakedown a designer for money and an ad campaign for donations. Then they wont protest that designer, regardless if the designer uses animal products or not. Basically, if you got the money they will look the other way. They support ecoterrorists, Rod Coronado being the most famous, who is now in prison for arson.
You should check out the Penn & Teller’s Bullshit Episode on peta…they are douches of the highest order…
Don’t mess with PETA… they beat the “Green Berets” and won after over 40 years at the SF MEDLAB compund. No more goats!
@14 Really? It took them 40 years to figure that out? Well there goes quality training at SOCMED for political expediency. Frickin’ ridiculous…
First is was the dogs… then the goats. I guess they pretend now. Thank you PETA!
PETA is listed as a potential domestic terror organization by the FBI. Along with ALF, Earth First! and the like.
The Penn and Teller Bullshit! episode is eye-opening. Found it a few years ago and was shocked. Never looked at PETA the same again. They are even against keeping animals – dogs, cats, etc – as pets.

As Fjardeson mentioned above, they use terrorist tactics.

Advocacy for animals (leftwing B.S., actually) is more in important to the greater good the than actual minor animals, comrade (“you can’t make an omlette without breaking a few eggs,” like Stalin said… or having a few million people die in gulags or 95% of PETA’s animals put to sleep, for “social justice” or whatever). PETA sucks.
