The website of consumer freedom has many informative articles regarding Animal
Rights Groups. Also (Bias noted), the www.carpoc.org website under Resources
and Education has a selection of reading that is valuable..
Articles such as this are good for collecting talking points to use when
writing letters or speaking with legislators.

PETA Killed 95 Percent of Adoptable Pets in its Care During 2008
Hypocritical Animal Rights Group?s 2008 Disclosures Bring Pet Death Toll To
21,339
WASHINGTON DC ? Today the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) published
documents online showing that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
(PETA) killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care during 2008. Despite
years of public outrage over its euthanasia program, the animal rights group
kills an average of 5.8 pets every day at its Norfolk, VA headquarters.
According to public records from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services, PETA killed 2,124 pets last year and placed only seven in
adoptive homes. Since 1998, a total of 21,339 dogs and cats have died at the
hands of PETA workers.
Despite having a $32 million budget, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter.
PETA employees make no discernible effort to find homes for the thousands of
pets they kill every year. Last year, the Center for Consumer Freedom
petitioned Virginia?s State Veterinarian to reclassify PETA as a slaughterhouse.
CCF Research Director David Martosko said: ?PETA hasn?t slowed down its
hypocritical killing machine one bit, but it keeps browbeating the rest of
society with a phony ?animal rights? message. What about the rights of the
thousands of dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens that die in PETA?s headquarters
building??
Martosko added: ?Since killing pets is A-OK with PETA, why should anyone listen
to their demands about eating meat, using lab rats for medical research, or
taking children to the circus??
CCF obtained PETA?s ?Animal Record? filings since 1998 from the Virginia
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Members of the public can see
these documents atwww.PetaKillsAnimals.com.
In addition to exposing PETA?s hypocritical record of killing defenseless
animals, the Center for Consumer Freedom has publicized the animal rights
group?s ties to violent activists, and shed light on its aggressive
message-marketing to children.
The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition supported by
restaurants, food companies, and consumers, working together to promote
personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.
