When will "animal rights activists" get one life?

Also, it wouldn't work with a hairy lobster because the fillaments would diffuse the heat into other curled-up dimensions.

PETA Killed 97 Percent of 'Companion Animals' in 2006, According to VDACS

Death toll up to 17,400; overdue report describes PETA's deadliest year ever

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An official report from People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), submitted nine months after a Virginia government agency's deadline, shows that 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. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 pets. The nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is calling on PETA to either end its hypocritical angel-of-death program, or stop its senseless condemnation of Americans who believe it's perfectly ethical to use animals for food, clothing, and critical medical research.

Not counting animals PETA held only temporarily in its spay-neuter program, the organization took in 3,061 "companion animals" in 2006, of which it killed 2,981. According to Virginia's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA killed 97.4 percent of the animals it took in. The organization filed its 2006 report this month, nine months after the VDACS deadline of March 31, 2007.

"Pet lovers should be outraged," said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. "There are thousands of worthwhile animal shelters that deserve Americans' support. PETA is not one of them."

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.

Today in Southampton County, Virginia, another PETA employee will face felony charges in a dog-napping case. Andrea Florence Benoit Harris was arrested in late 2006 for allegedly abducting a hunting dog and attempting to transport it to PETA's Norfolk headquarters.

"PETA raised over $30 million last year," Martosko added, "and it's using that money to kill the only flesh-and-blood animals its employees actually see. The scale of PETA's hypocrisy is simply staggering."

I keep getting surprised that it is news that PETA is fucked up. but that virginia shelter is kind of locally famous for being a death camp

lololololol I didn't see the second page of the brochure!!!!!!!!!!!!! lololololol wau

CCF doesn't misrepresent itself half as bad as PETA does
PETA's on the news right now! apparently their latest campaign is about neutering your own children

i agree peta is kinda fucked.

but common, a big tobacco funded front group?? isn't that as disingenuous as you can possibly get

http://www.virginia.gov/vdacs_ar/cgi-bin/Vdacs_search.cgi?link_select=facility&form=fac_select&fac_num=157&year=2006

They get the 97% by factoring out the animals reclaimed by their owners.

ha! still a 50% kill rate though

Also lol PETA totally ate the poultry, who are we kidding here?

so do they normally leave a note for the owner when they kidnap people's dogs and cats?

yeah rly soy chicken my balls

searching CNN for PETA stories is awesome:

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/05/09/execution.pizza/index.html?iref=newssearch

Cliff Tredway, the director of public relations for the Rescue Mission, said it's more than pizzas that helped that shelter.

"It's the story of a guy whose execution translated into a generous act," he said. "It's people donating to other people they don't know.

"It's about a group of people who society often writes off getting a pizza party today."

ahahaha

pizza party such a great phrase

i have always enjoyed it

sadly, i can't find the cover online.

but common, a big tobacco funded front group?? isn't that as disingenuous as you can possibly get

I'm hoping they'll cancel each other out. Same thing I'm hoping for fundies and Dawkins followers.

Why is a big tobacco group fucking with PETA?

Why is a big tobacco group fucking with PETA?

I didn't think that CCF was taking cash from Big Tobacco. According to them, they're...

The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition of restaurants, food companies, and consumers working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.

The growing cabal of "food cops," health care enforcers, militant activists, meddling bureaucrats, and violent radicals who think they know "what's best for you" are pushing against our basic freedoms. We're here to push back.

Okay all those times when I have defended PETA on ILE? Let this serve as an official notice that I'm off the train.

dunno if this is being discussed elsewhere but this is a big moment for animal rights:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/21/chimpanzees-granted-legal-persons-status-unlawful-imprisonment

seems like reasonably self aware animals have as much a right to personhood as corporations do

seems questionable, how much money do they make

or perhaps I should say "how much value do they create"
