PETA Files


You may recall PETA's failed campaign a few months ago to persuade the USA Network to drop Westminster Kennel Club coverage in February, a la the BBC/Crufts fallout. The organization made its presence felt at the event anyway, with supporters wearing KKK costumes in protest to ''breedism'' outside New York's Madison Square Garden during the show.

Public records now released in the US have provided some shocking statistics about this so-called animal rights organization. ''PETA’s “Animal Record” report for 2008, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 95 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2008, PETA found adoptive homes for just seven pets.''

That's right.....1 in 300 animals was released for adoption......the rest were euthanized.

(In 2006 the organization was responsible for a 97% euthanasia rate at its Virginia headquarters.)

The Mail Online reported on the story this week, too.
