   Look at some of these numbers, they're astounding (emphasis added):

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 at 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.

	These people are nuts. I saw a Peta sticker on the rear window of a BMW a few years back while working at the stealership. Like all BMWs it had a leather interior!Maybe the salesman duped the PETA owner into thinking it was synthetic leather. Has anyone heard about how Dave Thomas (founder of Wendy's) was a huge animal rights activist? PETA ain't got nothin on the number of animals served at that drive thru.
