PETA likes to get it's point across to animals
here . I remember being in Norfolk when the news hit about the number of animals PETA killed rather than adopt out. This news report mentions that they euthanized 83%. I haven't found a link but I recall the report in 2003 was that PETA euthanized at twice the rate of the other two animal welfare groups including the Humane Society and most they didn't even attempt to adopt out. Here's an ethical question for you. Is it ethical to kill an animal and then just toss it in a trash can vice using it for something such as a new belt? Hummmm. Here's nice quote:
Critics may condemn PETA for supporting euthanasia, but we are not ashamed of providing a merciful exit from an uncaring world to broken beings," Daphna Nachminovitch, PETA's director of domestic animal issues, wrote in an editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle shortly after the arrests.
No word on PETA's association with Christopher Reeves death.
Here's another indication of how naive and clueless those bozos are:
The organization was criticized again in 2003 when Newkirk sent a letter to then-PLO leader Yasser Arafat in response to a Jerusalem bombing attack, in which a donkey was loaded with explosives and blown up. After being "bombarded with calls," according to a PETA spokesperson, Newkirk asked Arafat to appeal to those involved in the attacks to keep animals out of the conflict. When criticized for involving herself on behalf of the non-human victims only, Newkirk told the Washington Post: "It's not my business to inject myself into human wars."
Bet it wouldn't be hard to convince this "being" to go pet a cheeta.
