http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/petas-pet-slaughterhouse/PETA takes in more than 2000 animals and finds 7 of them homes, the rest are loved to death. The same people that don't want you to eat cows, or hunt for deer to feed your family kill animals because it's to hard to list them in the paper. that is a 99.7% kill rate, Wish my rifle was that accurate.

PETA does a great job. They also have the intangible "name recognition".
Lemme explain: they do a great job of raising money. With their name recognition, people think they do a good thing.
The truth? You saw it. I wish more people knew about it. They kill and kill and kill. They get millions of dollars, but apparently it goes to pay salaries, cause they sure as hell don't care about animals.....and they are worried about people eating meat?

Peta often takes in abused animals and puts them down humanely. There is almost no animal organization that doesn't believe in euthanisia simply because the numbers are out of proportion to the people who want animals.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. That means treating them ethically. You can put an animal down in an ethical way rather than let it live under constant abuse.
I am pretty emotional about this issue because I have a lot of experience about this. I know some people don't like PETA and see them as a bunch of liberal hippies who need to toughen up, but they are good people and they do important work. Whether you think it matters enough to do something about it or not, there are some animals who are really suffering unnessessarily in this world. PETA tries to ease the suffering. Whether they are prefect or not, I'd much rather have them putting down animals than my local county shelter.

So, 99.7% of the animals they get have been abused and need to be put down? Dang, if I were a dog or cat, I'd hate to see PETA show up.

If I remember correctly, PETA wanted all of Michael Vick's dogs to be destroyed because it would take too much time to rehabilitate them, taking time away from other dogs.
Almost all of Vick's dogs have been rehabilitated.

Yes you do remember that correctly, PETA was asking the judges to kill, oops I mean ethically euthanize all of the Vick dogs. Until people started putting heat on the judge and others, I know for a fact over half were saved( dogtown show did a special on them). As a Pit owner for years, and from someone who lived in the Norfolk area, PETA has killed more dogs than should be allowed!!

They are a bunch of publicity grabbing hypocrites. Almost every starlet they put in their ads wears leather shoes and carries a designer leather handbag. The last one just got photographed wearing a fur coat. There are plenty of pics on the net to verify this. Some of their workers got caught illegally dumping dog and cat carcasses into dumpsters. They show gruesome pictures then prey on emotions to fatten their wallets. That's what they're all about.
This country was built on the backs of farmers, hunters, trappers and fishermen. Animals are killed, gutted, skinned and eaten. That's not going to change. Accept it.
Why aren't they giving the same rights and publicity to sewer rats and cockroaches? 
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

And no one here is saying that treated animals ethically is a bad thing. Most people on here are pet owners.

Although the board seems to be polarized on the issue of politics, I dont think anyone on here hates anyone else because of their political views. What most people on here disagree with is the fact that their main objective is to "remove animals from under the yolk of humans." That's not their public goal, as that would turn people against them. They masquerade under the banner of "ethical" treatment, where people see no problem.
People on here, and most pet lovers, rail against PETA because theyre duping most of the world into thinking theyre for the better treatment of animals, when in fact they think the only way to accomplish this goal is to totally annihilate any relationship that humans have with animals.That's the hypocracy.
There are no sacred cows.

I don't think they think that.
Look, I admit that PETA, of all animal organizations, is the one of the most controversial. That's their MO. they shock sometimes in order to get attention. It's not the best run organization.
My point, is that most of them, if poor business and public relations people, are genuine good people who love animals. PETA has done a lot of good work, more good than bad. They have made their share of mistakes.
People who think they are this power hungry hypocrital organization, well, I can't help you, because if you truly think that you're basing it on irrational ideas and a limited view of the facts. Not really worth responding to.
I do know that they don't care what any of us think, that they are dedicated to helping animals and eliminating their suffering. They don't demand everyone be a vegitarian. they are not all vegitarian themselves. They just want to bring to light some of the truly awful treatment animals receive and give a voice to suffering animals who don't have a voice.
It's not so far out of this possibility. Buddhism preaches something very similar, and a billion of people believe in that religion.
I eat meat, I grew up in the agricultural business, i've killed animals. I don't espect people to stop any of it. But when I see someone tie their dog to a 4 foot leash to a pole for 24 hours a day, I have a problem with it. When people torture, for fun, the animals they are about to slaughter for food, I have a problem with it. When people, like mike vick, raise dogs to fight for gambling puposes, kill them inhumanely, and treat them terribly to make them want to fight, i have a problem with it. I think we all should.

The vast majority of us do. That doesn't mean we need to change our opinion of PETA. They are not the be and end all of organizations regarding this issue. They may have started out with good intentions, but they jumped the shark  a LONG time ago.
You can call me irrational all you want, but you better get out a mirror. These people are all about making themselves relevant and a boatload of money. I throw them in with the MADD folks, although the PETA people are slightly more deranged.

ANY county pound is going to have a much better mortality rate, an kill the animals in the same manner.

I said ease suffering, not keep alive.
Secondly, county pounds have very similar numbers. Kill rates are almost 100% for most shelters. That's just the sad truth.
Finally, they do not put them down in the same manner. They use the same drugs, yes, but it's a very different experience, I promise you. I'm not going to go into detail for you because you really don't understand until you've actually witnessed the difference between a county shelter of people who generally just want to get the job done and go home, and someone who really comforts the animal with love.

Are you serious???
PETA don't give a rats but over the animals. They have been caught killing animals inhumanly and dumping carcases illegally.
I love my animals and when I had to put a few of them down they were done very peacefully and some I buried others I cremated and spread the ashes in a field. I never once drove to the nearest McDonald's and dumped them in trash dumpster.
GMAFB yeah I really bet PETA comforted all 2000 animals on their way to death. PETA is a joke.

Same drugs, but different experience? What do they do, sing to the animals? Have you ever had a pet put down? Have you ever worked at an animal shelter? Dead is dead. Put the needle in, pull it out. Put a different needle in, it's over. But peta does it better? Or just more?
