PressEsc - PETA kills animals: "The animal rights group PETA has killed thousands of animals over a fifteen-year period, a consumer rights group claimed today.

...

'PETA raked in nearly $29 million last year,' said Center for Consumer Freedom research director David Martosko, 'and much of it was from pet owners who thought their donations actually helped animals. Instead, PETA killed them -- while spending millions on programs equating meat eaters with Nazis, scaring young children away from drinking milk, recruiting kids into a radical animal-rights lifestyle, and even defending arsonists and other violent extremists.'

The consumer rights group claimed that other animal protection agencies near PETA's Virginia headquarters 'put down' a much smaller percentage of the animals entrusted to them. In 2003 the Norfolk SPCA found adoptive homes for 73 percent of its animals. The Virginia Beach SPCA adopted out 66 percent. PETA could only manage 14 percent."
