Thanks for this article. I am doing a persuasive speech called anti-PETA. This had really good insight. PETA needs to understand that it is good to protect animals but you can do it without being psycho.

Peta is trying to shut down the animal sanctuary Primarily Primates. See video:

Three established Dalmatian rescue groups contacted the county animal shelter and tried to get the Dalmatians that PETA picked up. Their photos were sent out on the rescue network. Two healthy, sweet Dalmatians were very adoptable. I know, because I was one of the three that called and had contacted the others about getting someone to pull the Dalmatians.

We were told by the shelter that they had a rescuer who came regularly. We were guaranteed that the Dals would be taken back, vetted, and put up for placement.

To see what happened to Toby and Annie, read Day 4 of the trial. The last photos I saw of the two were from inside a black plastic bag, torn away from their dead bodies which had been pulled from the dumpster.

This is what PETA said: "Those animals would have been put down anyway."

Please take the time to read the story about Happy the terrier mix and how photos were taken of him before he was killed for the express purpose of sending them to the former foster care/owner to assure him Happy was in good condition.

The veterinarian also trusted PETA. He was in Ahoskie, N.C. His name is Dr. Patrick Proctor. He had to identify the killed pets he vetted, boarded, and released for adoption. He was furious and called the media.

Remember, this was going on for about 2 years !

I am sure photos are available if they are needed. I don't want to see them again. How could we have known? ...but it haunts me to this day. We should have insisted on rescuing. At least a few would still be alive and loved in new homes.

I oppose all killing of animals.

I was shocked to learn that PETA kills more animals than any other organization. The evidence is overwhelming. If you look at the words of PETA President Newkirk, she'll tell you purebred animals and children are an abomination. Is thin the kind of organization you want to donate money to. Ask yourself, next time you donate: How many animals were killed with my donations?

There is no excuse for killing dogs. If there are too many dogs in shelters, stop rounding them up. Dogs that aren't rounded up with go home or will get food from people who care. No dog needs to die. It is the height of egotism to think that only humans have the right to be free and alive.

I just happened to come across your website and wonder:
why are you critizising the animal protection organization PeTA so harshly?

Well, Mike71, it's quite simple. You would understand it if you merely READ THE PAGE you're posting on. Read it. Understand it. Then tell me HOW in the world you could support them? Oh, and stop posting comments on stuff you haven't even bothered to read. -rc

I am upset to read this stuff about PETA. I have always loved and supported them for the good things they do. Reading the trial about the two PETA workers killing and dumping animals they promised to find good homes for, is a kick in the oblongs! I think it is terrible that they outright lied to the previous owner about the fate of the dog, Happy. It is too bad. I am sad to now know this craziness.

Thanks for publicizing the truth about PETA and other such groups.I support our local SNAP (Spay Neuter Assistance Program) and my local neighborhood animal shelter, and urge others to do the same!

I have been struggling for several years to stick to a diet plan for health reasons (blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.). I had recently hit on a method for sticking to my plan: I would set aside a dollar every day that I failed to meet my diet goals and send it to the Republican National Committee at the end of the month. As a fairly liberal Democrat I thought this would work - keeping me from straying from my plan. But it hasn't been effective as I hoped. I guess there are actually a few Republicans that I am somewhat sympathetic to, and I don't find the Republican offensive enough to keep me from straying from my plan. Thank you for your reminder of what PETA is actually all about. I am now planning on sending my monthly donation to the bastards at PETA instead.

I am trusting my health will benefit more than PETA will from my decision.

Talk about hypocrisy in action... PETA kills 86% of animals entrusted in their care. Healthy, discarded pets. And then has the brass balls to critic the President for killing a FLY. Let's see, you can LEGALLY purchase products designed to kill pesky insects. It is ILLEGAL to kill pets. There goes the last shred of PETA's credibility.

I'm a 19 year rock fan, and as such I go to a lot of rock festivals. At a lot of these there are PETA booths, and PETA people walking around handing out fliers, pins, and stickers. I used to grab a "no fur" pin to stick on my jeans because even though I'm a meat lover and disagree with a lot of their views, I think that the fur trade is unnecessary. However, after reading this page, following the links, and doing more research, I have resolved to bring fake blood to the next festival I go to, and throw it on any PETA member I see.

Oh and by the way, I've been reading True for two years and I love it. Keep it coming Randy :D
