    Nathan J. Winograd: Shocking Photos: PETA's Secret Slaughter of Kittens, Puppies

    People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is an organization that publicly claims to represent the best interest of animals -- indeed their "ethical treatment." Yet approximately 2,000 animals pass through PETA's front door every year and very few make it out alive. The vast majority -- 96 percent in 2011 -- exit the facility out the back door after they have been killed, when Pet Cremation Services of Tidewater stops by on their regular visits to pick up their remains. Between these visits, the bodies are stored in the giant walk-in freezer PETA installed for this very purpose. It is a freezer that cost $9,370 and, like the company which incinerates the bodies of PETA's victims, was paid for with the donations of animal lovers who could never have imagined that the money they donated to help animals would be used to end their lives instead. In fact, in the last 11 years, PETA has killed 29,426 dogs, cats, rabbits, and other domestic animals.

    Most animal lovers find this hard to believe. But seeing is believing. And if it is true that a picture speaks a thousand words, the following images speak volumes about who and what PETA really stands for.

    That is too funny. Not the animals dying, I plan on adopting 2 dogs when I move into my own place, but the gods of the vegan/vegetarian agenda, PETA, are the world's biggest hypocrites, apparently. I have waaaaay too many friends on Facebook posting pictures about how cruel us meat eaters are to the animal world, getting on my case for chowing down on a good steak or burger. Well, guess what? At least I'm honest about it!

      Or it might be considered as mercy killings as those pets were probably near the end of their lives and were suffering too much. They probably just wanted a dignified way to put down the animals. I haven't bother to read the article so I am guessing.

        Nope....

        When police officers looked inside, they found the bodies of dead animals -- animals killed by PETA. PETA described these animals as "adorable" and "perfect." A veterinarian who naively gave PETA some of the animals, thinking they would find them homes, and examined the dead bodies of others, testified that they were "healthy" and "adoptable."

          The article states that 90% of impounded animals were euthanized within 24 hours of being handed over to PETA shelters.

            And that is sick, but in reality PETA is anti-pet ownership and has been for years. They consider companion animals to be exploited slaves.

            "In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: raising their young, enjoying their native environments, and following their natural instincts. However, domesticated dogs and cats cannot survive "free" in our concrete jungles, so we must take as good care of them as possible. People with the time, money, love, and patience to make a lifetime commitment to an animal can make an enormous difference by adopting from shelters or rescuing animals from a perilous life on the street. But it is also important to stop manufacturing "pets," thereby perpetuating a class of animals forced to rely on humans to survive."

            -PETA pamphlet, Companion Animals: Pets or Prisoners?

            "I don’t use the word "pet." I think it’s speciesist language. I prefer "companion animal." For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship – enjoyment at a distance."

            -Ingrid Newkirk, PETA vice-president, quoted in The Harper's Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.

            "It is time we demand an end to the misguided and abusive concept of animal ownership. The first step on this long, but just, road would be ending the concept of pet ownership."

            -Elliot Katz, President, In Defense of Animals, "In Defense of Animals," Spring 1997

            "Liberating our language by eliminating the word 'pet' is the first step ... In an ideal society where all exploitation and oppression has been eliminated, it will be NJARA's policy to oppose the keeping of animals as 'pets.'"

            -New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance, "Should Dogs Be Kept As Pets? NO!" Good Dog! February 1991, p.20

            "Let us allow the dog to disappear from our brick and concrete jungles -- from our firesides, from the leather nooses and chains by which we enslave it."

            -John Bryant, Fettered Kingdoms: An Examination of A Changing Ethic, PETA, 1982, p.15.

            "The cat, like the dog, must disappear..... We should cut the domestic cat free from our dominance by neutering, neutering, and more neutering, until our pathetic version of the cat ceases to exist."

            -John Bryant, Fettered Kingdoms: An Examination of a Changing Ethic, PETA 1982, p.15.

            "As John Bryant has written in his book Fettered Kingdoms, they [pets] are like slaves, even if well-kept slaves."

            -PETA's Statement on Companion Animals

            "The bottom line is that people don't have the right to manipulate or to breed dogs and cats ... If people want toys they should buy inanimate objects. If they want companionship they should seek it with their own kind."

            -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, "Animals," May/June 1993

            "You don't have to own squirrels and starlings to get enjoyment from them ... One day, we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals. [Dogs] would pursue their natural lives in the wild ... they would have full lives, not wasting at home for someone to come home in the evening and pet them and then sit there and watch TV."

            -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, Chicago Daily Herald, March 1, 1990.

            "Pet ownership is an abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation."

            -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, Washingtonian, August 1986

              Enjoyment at a distance?

              The martens, foxes, squirrels, feral cats, hogs and falcons voluntarily cohabitating with humans in this city would give that guy the finger. And that's not even to speak of the various smaller pests.

                I'm not particularly into the anthropomorphism of pets the way many people are though when we have them I love the little critters dearly. They are however far lower down the food chain than humans are and that's just the way it is.
                I also don't have a particular problem with animals being euthanised if there's no one to look after them, the SPCA do it here all the time. I'm also on board in a local New Zealand sense for the eventual eradication of most dogs and cats, given the natural habitat is one for birds, not imported mammals. The symbiotic relationship between humans and cats and dogs to protect food supplies from rodents is mostly gone.
                I do however find PETA's statements about dogs and cats living their 'natural lives' and the notion of pet ownership being slavery laughable and ignorant.
                In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.

                  In NZ wants to eventually phase out dogs and cats great if it happens naturally. However PETA would if they could strip me of my dog and kill her because she is a slave breed unworthy of life. If she could talk she would object, and I can talk and object. They apparently have been lying to state authorities claiming to be a shelter when in fact they were not and used this cover to kill tens of thousands of pets for no reason other than to further their goal of eradicating pets.

                  I hope they lose the ability to have any pets personally or as an organization.

                  These Virginia statutes set forth Title 3.2, the Comprehensive Animal Care laws, which include the state's anti-cruelty and animal fighting provisions. For the purposes of § 3.2-6570, the operative animal cruelty law, animal means any nonhuman vertebrate species including fish except those fish captured and killed or disposed of in a reasonable and customary manner. Any person who: (i) overrides, overdrives, overloads, tortures, ill-treats, abandons, willfully inflicts inhumane injury or pain not connected with bona fide scientific or medical experimentation, or cruelly or unnecessarily beats, maims, mutilates, or kills any animal, whether belonging to himself or another; (ii) deprives any animal of necessary food, drink, shelter or emergency veterinary treatment; (iii) sores any equine for any purpose or administers drugs or medications to alter or mask such soring for the purpose of sale, show, or exhibition of any kind, unless such administration of drugs or medications is within the context of a veterinary client-patient relationship and solely for therapeutic purposes; (iv) willfully sets on foot, instigates, engages in, or in any way furthers any act of cruelty to any animal; (v) carries or causes to be carried by any vehicle, vessel or otherwise any animal in a cruel, brutal, or inhumane manner, so as to produce torture or unnecessary suffering; or (vi) causes any of the above things, or being the owner of such animal permits such acts to be done by another is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. The law also has a felony component, where torture occurs, certain misdemeanor acts are done "willfully," or a person maliciously deprives any companion animal of necessary food, drink, shelter or emergency veterinary treatment. This section shall not prohibit authorized wildlife management activities or hunting, fishing or trapping or farming activities. Any person convicted of violating this section may be prohibited by the court from possession or ownership of companion animals. The section also has a section (3.2-6503) that requires proper care of companion animals by their owners, which includes adequate water, feed, shelter, space, exercise, care, treatment, and transportation, and veterinary care when needed to prevent suffering or disease transmission. The provisions of this section shall also apply to every pound, animal shelter, or other releasing agency, and every foster care provider, dealer, pet shop, exhibitor, kennel, groomer, and boarding establishment. The section includes veterinary immunity from liability laws both for emergency care and reporting of suspected cruelty. The section also sets forth the commercial dog breeding laws, rabies control laws, sterilization laws, humane investigation laws, and laws on hybrid canines.

                    So people drop off their unwanted pets and are outraged that those pets were put down.

                    If they care so much, then the should have kept them.




                    The shelters here wait 72 hrs. That is in case the dog catcher or someone else brought in a "Stray" that belongs to someone. The "No Kill" shelter keeps them for min a week. When the place fills up, animials that have been there the longest are killed to make room.

                      They don't outcry because the unwanted pets are getting killed.

                      It is the hypocrisy from PETA that sparks the reaction. Noone sane should have any doubts pets in the shelter get "human treatment".

                        Btw: I just found a German article that PETA was killing 98.35% of its intake referring to Virginia State documentation. The article is from 2010 referring to numbers from 2009, when the Norfolk PETA HQ killed 2,327 out of 2,366 animals given to them. Of the ones not killed 31 (1.31%) were handed over to other shelters and 8 (0.34%) were adopted. 0 (0.00%) remained in a PETA-run shelter. So, basically - nothing new.

                        On a side note, over here shelter employees got sentenced in courts for single-digit numbers culling healthy animals. An organized PETA-style mass culling would result in jail sentences for most people involved.

                          Why? What does the State want to do with those unwanted animals?

                          It seems that laws like that would make shelters close down. Then the people are left with abandoning animals in the street when they no longer want or can no longer care for them.

                            I wasn't aware this was news. I can recall seeing something about it on...of all things...an episode of Penn & Teller's 'Bullsh!t' over 5 years ago.

                            Most local councils here mandate microchipping of dogs & cats. That makes it easier to contact pet owners if animals are picked up by shelters. I'm not sure how long they are kept once found, I suspect it varies from place to place. I don't recall if desexing of dogs & cats is mandatory, but it is actively encouraged through higher registration charges

                            Many councils, especially on the suburban fringe, force owners to keep cats indoors at night as a measure to protect wildlife. As in NZ, introduced animals, including pets, have helped to devastate our unique wildlife. Dogs can also be an issue in regional areas, but tend to do more damage to livestock.

                              As a dog owner of many years, and someone who has volunteered in many shelters, i believe there should be laws passed with harsh financial penalties against ignorant people who are the main cause for all this cruelty.

                              1. It should be illegal to breed, sell or even give away dogs, unless you register and certify yourself to do as such. Failure to comply should result considerable fines.
                              2. Repeat offences should be classified as animal cruelty and be treated in criminal court.

                              I know this may seem harsh to some, but you would be surprised at home many pupps get dropped off, sometimes all newborns from the same litter, and are put down in no time, you would also be surprised how many are repeat offenders.

                              Many of those dogs are also given or sold to stupid people who are excited and want a dog, but cant even take care of themselves and end up putting em in the shelters. And there is simply no money/resources to take care of those dogs.

                              Perfect example is the Siberian Husky (best dog ever), theyre sooo beutifull, blue eyes look like wolves so its a popular breed to adopt/buy, but they also shed like crazy, hair everywhere, and on top of that they are stubborn as hell. In the end they're put in shelters and die.,

                              Dogs are as much animals as human beings are. They love you back, they'll die for you. Anyone who treats a dog like a snail is a criminal.
                              One cannot but examine it.
