PETA facts

[Judas BentHer]

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.
