PETA Kills Far More Animals than Michael Vick
(7/20/07)
Body Count For Animal "Rights" Group Reaches 14,479; Group Has Walk-In
Freezer For Dead Puppies
WASHINGTON -- While People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
protests the National Football League today over Michael Vick's dog-fighting
indictment, the animal "rights" group is ignoring its own sordid
puppy-killing operation, the Center for Consumer Freedom said today. Public
records released by the State of Virginia show that PETA itself has killed
14,479 dogs and cats since 1998, including 90 percent of the animals it took
in for "adoption" in 2005. And PETA is presently more than 3 months overdue
to report its 2007 numbers.
"It's astonishing but true," said Center for Consumer Freedom Director of
Research David Martosko. "PETA itself kills helpless, adoptable animals by
the thousands out of sheer inconvenience. Why anyone continues to take this
bunch of hypocrites seriously is beyond me."
Documents relating to PETA's massive animal-killing program can be found on
the Internet at www.PETAkillsAnimals.com. In sworn testimony during the
January 2007 animal-cruelty trial of two PETA employees, a PETA manager
acknowledged that the organization has a walk-in freezer for the purpose of
storing dead pets. She also acknowledged that PETA contracts with a
Norfolk-area crematory service to dispose of the dead bodies, which measure
over a ton each month.
Martosko continued: "PETA's president acknowledges that her group could
'become a no-kill shelter overnight.' But that would mean the group could no
longer afford to spend millions of dollars on cheap publicity stunts, to say
nothing of harassing pet food companies, restaurants, and medical
researchers."
Another PETA employee faces grand larceny charges in southern Virginia,
related to the alleged 2006 theft of a hunting dog and its radio-tracking
collar. PETA has not yet indicated whether the dog in question was slated to
be put to death.
