PETA staff face 31 felony charges for killing, dumping dogs
Official records show the militant animal-rights group has put over 10,000 dogs and cats to death since 1998.

Now, that's NOT good news! :duh:

Disclaimer - this is, as always a personal opinion. I usually tend not to bother reading most things associated with PETA as they generally come across as effing nuts. I get too emotionally involved at times with the treatment of animals and such - as I have seen that a lot of us are.

With that said, I still would like NOT to believe that this is a true representative of PETA as a whole - that this is maybe the acts of a few who decided to take matters into their own hands.

Somehow I got on the mailing list for the PETA magazine...and they tell you stuff like not to drink milk, not to eat eggs even...and they bash celebrities for buying leather, etc. I'm sorry, I'm gonna drink milk while I still can!

More: :yikes:

PETA has acknowledged killing over 10,000 animals between 1998 and 2003; recent reporting suggests PETA added 2,200 more to its body count in 2004. All while presiding over a gargantuan fundraising operation that brought in nearly $29 million last year.

With that kind of money, PETA could afford to care for every single one of the animals it picks up -- if it weren't so hell-bent on spending millions turning children into vegetarians, demonizing people who don't have an all-polyester wardrobe, and misleading Americans about the medical breakthroughs that have only come about through the use of research animals. PETA even pays for the bail and legal expenses of animal activists who -- like this week's unintentional celebrities -- run afoul of the law.

In the case of the animals mentioned in the article - yeah, it's just two guys in a few isolated incidents.

But the rest of the article compares the disposal of 10,000 animals over the last seven years to the Norfolk SPCA. The 10,000 animal number refers *ONLY* to their Norfolk facility - not nationally. National numbers were not listed.

While the Norfolk SPCA was finding homes, PETA in Norfolk was killing their animals - for years. So it may be one facility, but it's not isolated.

There must be something weird about folks once they become too extreme. I'm amazed at the kinds of protesters who protest the violence of the Iraqi War - with violence. They want us to give peace a chance, and to bring home their point, they'll smash a few windows.

I don't get these guys. I think they're more concerned about changing people's behavior and scoring political victories than actually saving animals.

I was not aware that PETA "aided and comforted" ALF and ELF, some loonier fringe groups:

Click on the underlined blue sections of my last post to view this:
title_blackeye.gif

<!-- Organization Background -->People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals provides aid and comfort for the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). The two groups are responsible for more than 600 crimes since 1996, causing (by a very conservative FBI estimate) more than $43 million in damage. ALF’s “press office” brags that in 2002, the two groups committed “100 illegal direct actions” -- like blowing up SUVs, destroying the brakes on seafood delivery trucks, and planting firebombs in restaurants.


The FBI calls ALF and ELF the nation’s “most serious domestic terrorism threat.” Bruce Friedrich, PETA’s “vegan campaign director” and third-in-command, didn’t seem to care when he addressed the Animal Rights 2001 convention in Virginia, telling a crowd of over 1,000 activists that “blowing stuff up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation.”

“It would be great,” he added, “if all the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories and the banks who fund them exploded tomorrow.”


OMG! :twitch:

You just have to be careful when you do anything cruel to them because they like to bring the media everywhere with them. your better off following them home and beating them to death

I never have gotten why there has always been such a fuss about PETA...it seems too small and inconsequential to really care about it.

They are group that funds domestic terrorists, arsonists, and other assorted criminal goons, not to mention are the single most hypocritical crowd of imbeciles on the face of this earth, so they get a decent amount of press.

Yes, well, the people who have lost their homes, businesses, vehicles and LIVES to these terrorists probably feel differently.

Penn & Teller did an expose of PETA on their show B*llSh*t on Showtime. It was very eye opening to say the least. I'm not sure if you can see in on the "on Demand" feature through Comcast still but info no the less.....

Peace
