PETA facts

[theVOID]

It's just an amusing ad hominem, does hurt the credibility of the poster though.

[Anymouse]

There are numerous cases by cities in Virginia and North Carolina of PETA signing agreements to adopt out strays and then killing them and pets instead. PETA represents itself as an adoption agency, but has no facilities to house animals.

It is noted that of the various rescue agencies in Hampton Roads, Virginia, PETA has the highest euthanasia rate. From Channel 13 in Norfolk, VA http://www.wvec.com/my-city/norfolk/PETA...37098.html

PETA's headquarters are in Norfolk. They took in 2002 a tax deduction for a walk in freezer there, which when inspected was found to contain many dead animals.

A quote I lifted and use as a tagline occasionally, from the Virginian-Pilot and Ledger-Star (Norfolk's principal newspaper) by Ingrid Newkirk, the founder and president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals:

"Sometimes the only kind option for some animals is to put them to sleep forever."

[Judas BentHer]

I'd like to see a copy of PeTA's "adoption" contract. I wonder if there could be a class action lawsuit for breach?
That would be the kind of relevant publicity they deserve!

PeTA even went so far as to put a Monastery that supplemented their modest revenue by selling egg's, out of business. The monks tried in every way to accommodate PeTA's nose in their business demands, but PeTA would have no compromise! Finally, the monks simply closed up the chicken business all together.
One wonders what happened to the chickens, after. PeTA probably promised to find them homes on a farm sanctuary property.

Monk Birds!
It's what's for dinner.

I think one of the most ludicrous campaigns PeTA has engaged in in a long time, was when they asked for fur coat donations! Yes, fur is dead! That's because fox claws cut up beautiful women's backs when she tries to shove her arm up their ass thinking it's a sleeve!
However, in this case dead fur that celebrities would rather go naked than wear, was deemed perfectly okie dokie by PeTA who promised to give those coats to...the freezing homeless!

Yes, it's not like homeless don't suffer assaults and battery and are robbed, as one gentleman was here when someone stole his satchel that had his med's in it. Suddenly PeTA came up with the brilliant idea to wrap them in expensive fur coats. So that the element that already assaults homeless as if it's a sport, have incentive to go for bigger gain.
Meanwhile, when celebrities wear fur, because they're not homeless, like what the Olson twins encountered a few years ago, they're called all manner of horrific names. While models on runways at fur shows are assaulted with red paint by terrorists who scream; FUR IS DEAD!
While PeTA thinks to clad homeless in dead animals thinking what? Maybe they shall be too? Murder homeless dogs, what's not to think about their organization deciding to upgrade to a higher fur clad animal?

Yes, it's that small 'e' that sends the message.

I found the last bit about her being sterile and opposing giving birth to be superfluous.

Plenty of people oppose population expansion. And there are plenty of sterile people.

Let's not soil their good name with the shit of Peta.

Sorry. Looking back at what a dumbass I was when I was 22, I'll have to agree that permanent sterilization @ that age is pretty fucked up.

[Shell B]

I've seen most of this info before; I think Ryft shared it on facebook once.

One thing I don't get in this version is why the fact that the leader of Peta was sterilized is mentioned. It's her personal decision; if she doesn't want kids that's up to her. It's just a bit odd to have it right there at the end, unless the author was trying to imply she wanted it done to all humans, which as far as I am aware, is not the case.

Just noting that we should be wary of infographics that contain random bits of speculation. I'm sure (no, scratch that, I'm certain) that the rest of the poster is completely true, but I just don't see the point of having a really good campaign against Peta if we are going to make up lies about them as well.

I agree. PETA has enough bullshit to bury them in a mile of it. I don't care what anyone does to their reproductive system.

I think Ingrid's spaying is directly related to her platform as the co-founder and President of PETA. (People Exterminating Thousands of Animals)

"I don’t believe that people have the right to life. That’s a supremacist perversion. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy." -Ingrid E. Newkirk

"Humans have grown like cancer. We're the biggest blight on the face of
the planet." Ingrid E. Newkirk

PETA Celebrates Infertility Awareness Week With Free Vasectomy - April 8, 2011

(Excerpt: NC Register) "You can’t make this stuff up. From the website of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals:

It’s a two-fer: Get your animal companion fixed, and get yourself fixed too! Human overpopulation is crowding out animal life on the planet, and dog and cat overpopulation is creating a euthanasia crisis that is a crying shame. Disappearing wilderness, vanishing water resources, and pollution is the price that future generations will pay for more human births, while losing their lives is the price that millions of homeless dogs and cats pay when guardians neglect to “fix” their companion animals.

Every year in the U.S., an estimated 6 to 8 million lost, abandoned, or unwanted dogs and cats enter animal shelters. The best way to combat the companion-animal overpopulation crisis is to have your cat or dog neutered. And with a global population of almost 7 billion humans, more of our species could use a (voluntary) snip too.

Now, one lucky man can be reproduction-free, free of charge, just like his pooch or feline friend. During National Infertility Awareness Week (April 24 to 30), PETA will give one free vasectomy to a man who has recently had his companion cat or dog neutered."


These quotes can go a long way to answer why PETA murders most of the pets/companion animals that naive people surrender to them in hopes PETA will find them good homes.

"It is time we demand an end to the misguided and abusive concept of animal ownership. The first step on this long, but just, road would be ending the concept of pet ownership." Elliot Katz, President, In Defense of Animals, "In Defense of Animals," Spring 1997


"I don't use the word "pet." I think it's speciesist language. I prefer "companion animal." For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship – enjoyment at a distance." Ingrid Newkirk, PETA's President, quoted in The Harper's Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.

How's my mastiff supposed to bite people if I can't keep him tied to a tire in my backyard? No sense at all.

[Judas BentHer]

Amid that whole post of mine, the only thing you got from it is a reason to bitch because your Mastiff may have trouble snacking on visitors? While PETA is paying for man neutering to celebrate infertility month?

FINE!
I'm going to go and remove the mail woman's clothing from my Great Dane's teeth and get rid of yet more evidence that my companion surpasses your punk ass Mastiff. Because mine eats, swallows and flosses after every visitor.
(Note to self: Send vegetarian dinner invitation to Ingrid. )

[The Grand Nudger]

Honestly though Judas, the kind of guy who enters into a vasectomy sweepstakes....do we need him breeding? He's already ruled himself out, lets go with his gut instinct.

[Judas BentHer]

There's a point.

I think it would be better served though if a group dedicated to killing animals and misleading humans to send money for BS causes that group claims to support with integrity, didn't offer to buy the scalpel in a sweepstakes every last one of their leadership should agree to first.

Come on, can you imagine Ingrid Newkirk as a mother and role model for the "child(ren) that are our future"? No! And neither could she.
One down, more to go. Just point a surgeon toward the PETA boardroom.
