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."
