From July 1998 through the end of 2005, PETA killed over 14,400 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals" -- at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. That's more than five defenseless animals every day. Not counting the dogs and cats PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 90 percent of the animals it took in during 2005 alone...

Just a couple of quotes I found interesting.
“The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is not affiliated with, nor is it a parent organization for, local humane societies, animal shelters, or animal care and control agencies … The HSUS does not operate or have direct control over any animal shelter.”
— From a 2001 disclaimer issued by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)
“Our goal is to get sport hunting in the same category as cock fighting and dog fighting.”
— Bozeman (MT) Daily Chronicle
“The life of an ant and that of my child should be granted equal consideration.”
— HSUS senior scholar Michael W. Fox
“The Humane Society should be worried about protecting animals from cruelty. It’s not doing that. The place is all about power and money.”
— HSUS consultant and former HSUS Chief Investigator Robert Baker, in U.S. News & World Report
Pokémon cartoon is like cockfighting, except cuter.

HSUS Learders Pacelle and Goodwin Caught Fighting Roosters?
Pacelle and Goodwin. These two former animal rights activists shocked the world when they suddenly appeared in Manila and took home the coveted World Slasher Cup, and have not lost an ounce of momentum since. They vow to win Cocker of the Year honors at every major pit in the world this year, and many think they may accomplish just that.

Is Cockfighting Humane?
Below is a quote taken from Mr. Herbert Atkinson, please take a second to read this with an open mind. Thanks.
With regard to the cruelty attached to the sport, it must be remembered that no man can encourage or force a cock to fight aginst his inclination, or stop him running away if so inclined ; that artificial spurs lessen their sufferings by shortening them. The persons who generally exclaim against the sport are those who are not conversant with the nature of the game cock, and have never seen a cock-fight. They must, therefore, be incapable of forming a correct judgment on the subject. It must also not be forgotten that the game cock was reared in every enjoyment and luxury till two years old, and then had a fair chance of his life ; whereas an ordinary chicken is reared until some five or six months old, perhaps crammed, and finally killed, not always by any means in as merciful a manner as the game cock. It is not desired to write a defense to the sport, but simply to put both sides of the question before the reader, who will, I trust, approach the subject with what one of greatest statesmen called "an open mind."

PETA's death toll up to 17,400!
PETA Euthanizes 97% of Animals in its Care
Spero News
Sunday, January 13, 2008
"Death toll up to 17,400; report describes PETA's deadliest year ever."
An official report from People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) shows that the animal rights group put to death more than 97 percent of the dogs, cats, and other pets it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 pets. The non-profit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is calling on PETA to either end its hypocritical angel-of-death program, or stop its senseless condemnation of Americans who believe it's perfectly ethical to use animals for food, clothing, and critical medical research.
Not counting animals PETA held only temporarily in its spay-neuter program, the organization took in 3,061 "companion animals" in 2006, of which it killed 2,981. According to Virginia's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA killed 97.4 percent of the animals it took in. The organization filed its 2006 report this month, nine months after the VDACS deadline of March 31, 2007.
"Pet lovers should be outraged," said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. "There are thousands of worthwhile animal shelters that deserve Americans' support. PETA is not one of them."
In courtroom testimony last year, a PETA manager acknowledged that her organization maintains a large walk-in freezer for storing dead animals, and that PETA contracts with a Virginia cremation service to dispose of the bodies. In that trial, two PETA employees were convicted of dumping dead animals in a rural North Carolina trash dumpster.
In Southampton County, Virginia, another PETA employee currently faces criminal charges in a dog-napping case. Andrea Florence Benoit Harris was arrested in late 2006 for allegedly abducting a hunting dog and attempting to transport it to PETA's Norfolk headquarters.
"PETA raised over $30 million last year," Martosko added, "and it's using that money to kill the only flesh-and-blood animals its employees actually see. The scale of PETA's hypocrisy is simply staggering."
