PETA is your local neighborhood crazy. They yell at you to fall in line and do things, then drink whiskey out of a pumpkin and try to sell you drugs. I’ve never liked them.
From advocating drinking human breastmilk, to throwing paint on people they disagree with, to telling parents not to bring their kids to the circus, to having Bill Maher, Jared Leto, and Andy Dick as prominent members, to having their leader say you can eat her when she dies, PETA, in general, blows. But here’s another reason. According to documents released today, they’ve killed 95% of the pets placed in the adoptive care program. How many did they place in homes? Seven. How many were taken behind the shed and read the riot act? 2,124. And I’m sure the seven placed were by some dreadlocked man telling his friends, “TAKE THIS DOG. I CAN’T KEEP TELLING PEOPLE I KILL ANIMALS FOR PETA.”
PETA has a $32 million dollar budget, and yet still has failed to build any sort of shelter to humanely house the pets in their program. More likely, the money is used to pay the salaries of their employees, so they can say ridiculous shiz, picket events and hand out stupid stickers with adorable chickens on it that say, “I am not a McNugget.” They’re like the town slut, boning everybody, then trying to shame them in church. Except this town slut aggressively markets to children.
Seriously, killing animals while advocating for treating them ethically is like hiring a bomb squad to disarm a bomb, then activating it in an orphanage.
Don’t support this practice.
I got some epic loligans out of this, yet still I don’t know what side to take. Perhaps ignorance is bliss?
PETA openly acknowledges that it has to euthanize a large number of animals that they take in and even explain this policy at some length on their website. Read PETA’s story about their policies and practices regarding euthanasia of animals they take in here:

Warning: That link includes graphic and disturbing images of injured and sick animals.
After you have read that, then consider what they are doing and why people like Penn & Teller and Consumer Freedom are only giving you a very one-sided and small part of the story.
Brude Friedrich (of PETA) “blowing stuff up and smashing windows is a great way to bring about animal liberation.” You are really going to compare that to Ghandi or Dr. King? Lay off the Kool-aide simpleton, the Animal Liberation Front funded by PETA uses terrorism, don’t be a jackass. Using something as awful as the Holocaust in your advertising shows a lack of sensitivity that is unparralelled. The Vice President Mary Beth Sweetland is a type A diabetic. She, on a daily basis, injects herself with insulin that was developed from biomedical research using DOGS. The point of the article was that PETA does not adhere to the maxims it wants to enforce on other people. When you are taking a stance not based off of a science or deductive reasoning(not that this is bad there are plenty of moral crusades worthy of fighting for) but one of Ethics, it is fundamental that you adhere to your own moral code or risk looking like fringe whackos with no valid argument. That is not ethical in anyones playbook. The president is quoted as saying she wants hoof and mouth disease to come to america. What planet are you from where you seriously want children to die to prove a point. I am generally against cruelty to animals, that being said I would never in a million years support PETA or any of its non-ethics,.
I found a baby 7 day old kitten abandon by its mother and have been taking care of it for two weeks now. Apparently I should have put it out of its misery (according to PETA) Oh and it looks as though I have saved more animals by percentage than all of PETA combined. F*cking hypocrites.

Sad to say, but the kill rates listed on the VA web site are significantly lower than most shelters. And anyone involved in animal rescue knows that Consumer Freedom is a front. Mark Lorenz, don’t try to fool people with shrill histrionics and disingenuous references. If you’re too lazy to write well, don’t.
Apparently their success rate at finding homes for animals was only .32% while the SPCA had a 70% success rate in the same state. http://trueslant.com/katiedrummond/2009/10/02/peta-anti-peta-animal-rights/
PETA’s ultimate message may seem virtuous, however; the fact of the matter is, PETA places the lives of animals above the lives of humans. To me, that is simply unacceptable. PETA gives the animal rights movement a very bad name.
Wow, I have never seen a bigger bunch of hypocrites than PETA in my lifetime! They talk about animal rights all day long and then turn right around and kill some perfectly healthy dogs and cats. I bet if they took some of that money they use for pointless advertisements, publicity stunts, and that crematory contract they have to burn all of their dead animals, they could actually afford to take care them!
Excellent article. Sadly, those who dispute this evidence are typical of the uber-left – and PETA as well – “do as we say and not as we do.” They cannot admit when their golden ox isn’t so golden and in doing so, prove to everyone and without a modicum of doubt of their incredible disingeniousness as well having a mind numbing intellectual dishonesty that defies catagorization or comparison.
PETA is, or was at one time, a viable and warranted organization but allowed itself to become compromised as well as co-opted by the knee-jerk, bleeding-heart, street-rat crazy arm of the uber-leftist Democrat Party and have sullied the original idea behind PETA beyond any recognition.
Pathetic. Sad. But so very, very true.
“You are really going to compare that to Ghandi or Dr. King?” – Malcom X is often compared to King.
“Animal Liberation Front funded by PETA uses terrorism” – The American Civil War was terrorism to the English. The black struggle, universal sufferage, stonewall and basically anything that didn’t involve Ghandi utilized rioting and fear to bring about a change in society.
“A protection racket is an extortion scheme whereby a powerful entity or individual coerces other less powerful entities or individuals to pay protection money which allegedly serves to purchase protection services against various external threats, usually violence or property damage.” – The police are a well armed, funded and organised gang that kidnap and forcibly imprison you, bailiffs damage and steal your property if you do not pay your taxes.
One mans terrorism is another mans freedom struggle. It’s just a label applied by manipulative people to forcible coercion to ends with which they disagree and taken to heart by gullible people who need someone in charge to tell them what right and wrong is.
Calling them terrorists is quite meaningless, they even have a degree of morality on their side. Does this mean I support the ALF and PETA? Well, I’ll get around to discussing that after I finish my intensively farmed chicken drumstick.
PETA does not operate an animal shelter.
PETA is not an animal shelter.
In 2008 3 animals were brought to PETA headquarters anyway, and all 3 were turned over to local animal control as required by law.
PETA does not have permits to operate a shelter or kennel, and does not operate a shelter or kennel.
2 seconds checking and you’d know this supposed article is total bull shit.
Mark Lorenz? from Jackson Heights?
PETA members should grow the fuck up, get a hair cut, get a job, and start voting, fucking hippies
