Izzysdad Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 It said over 4 million dogs and cats are put down every year in animal shelters. Always spay and neuter your pet and never buy them from a BREEDER or pet store. I found that a bit interesting. So PETA wants to put breeders out of business I guess?

Root Beer Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 That has always been my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 You guessed it! PeTA wants to put anything associated with pet ownership, livestock, animal products, and so on "out of business". The founder of PeTA has as one of her goals that there will be no pets, working animals, animals for consumption, and so on. So, while PeTA can bring some things to light that need to be brought to light, I could not support them in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 It said over 4 million dogs and cats are put down every year in animal shelters. Including their own! PETA. Blech! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrayburn Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 PETA also euthanizes adoptable animals that it "rescues" from shelters. What does that say about their mission? Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclare Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Argh...don't get me started on PETA! They are the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Maybe they think euthanization is a preferable alternative to being "enslaved" as someone's beloved pet. I think that while some of their near-term goals may be apparently admirable, they are too twisted in philosophy and long-term goals for my support in any way, shape, or fashion.

Izzysdad Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I guess I was really ignorant to that fact. I knew they were an extremist group of sorts, but I had really no idea. I may write a letter to the editor of said magainze. The sad thing is, one of my favorite cyclists is in the ad promoting PETA. Sad day indeed.

Liz P Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 PETA thinks pet ownership is wrong so wants to stop ALL breeding, even if done responsibly. Their goal is an end to pet ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.DaisyDuke Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yes, they believe pet ownership is cruel. They euthanize an incredibly large percentage of animals every year them selves. They have a giant walk in freezer at their headquarters where they store the bodies until they can be disposed of. They fund and support militant animal rights organizations, the ones who blow up labs etc. and they are associated with some very nasty people.

Sue R Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 There are a number of pet-owning and pet-loving celebrities (and "everyday" people) who support PeTA. I think they don't realize (or refuse to realize) what PeTA really stands for as ultimate goals - and the intermediate goals are just means to an end.
