Does PETA kill animals

A couple of people who worked at a PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) shelter were arrested for this. It turned into a public relations nightmare for PETA. But the actions of the individuals do not reflect the ideals or activities of the organization as a whole. Read the linked article and make up your own mind whether PETA did it or whether a couple of their troopers acted independently. A link is provided to a newspaper article on this 2007 incident.

It seems that PETA's policy is to euthanize most, and sometimes all, of the animals rescued by its members. The headquarters has a large "kill-room" & meat freezer, and records show that only a handful of the animals PETA has rescued were even allowed to be put up for adoption. The rest - over 90% - were euthanized.

It seems that PETA is more about control & Propaganda than actual animal rights. Many of the recruits are decent, honest-to-goodness animal lovers. But the people in charge have insane ideas, and encourage eco-terrorists to destroy property & kill innocent people and animals.

So yes, PETA kills dogs. If you want to fight for animal rights, join a real animal-rights group like the SPCA or Humane Society. I personally recommend the SPCA.
