PETA's 2013 statistics from the State Veterinarian with the Virginia Department of Agriculture are now available. According to the records, PETA took in 894 dogs in 2013. They killed 629 of them, or seven out of 10. They also sent 227 to kill shelters, where they were either killed or potentially displaced other dogs who were killed. That’s a  96% rate of killing associated with their intake of dogs. They rehomed only 35, a meager 4%.

In 2013, took in 1,281 cats and killed 1,164, nine out of 10 of them! They sent another 100 to kill shelters, where they were either killed or potentially displaced other cats who were killed. That’s a high-end 99% rate of killing associated with their intake of cats. They rehomed only 1% !

In the past, PETA has been defended their actions by defiantly  claiming their job was to kill the very  young,  old,  or ill. They lied to people and killed healthy animals they promised to find homes for within minutes in the back of a van: www.whypetaeuthanizes.org/death-squad/ --- injecting them with a fatal dose of poison PETA President  Ingrid Newkirk called  a “gift.” Since 1999, roughly 2,000 animals a year have been systematically slaughtered by PETA, over 90% of the animals they have "rescued"!  Only 1% have been  adopted (ironically, many of theses are adopted by PETA staff! ). Over 30,000 animals have lost their lives at the hands of PETA and they do not deny it.

PETA claims  over 3,000,000 supporters and donations of approximately 
 $ 30,000,000 dollars a year.

 With that kind of outreach, surely they could have found more animals a home. Why send them to shelters where they very likely will be euthanized ? Why? Because killing is what they do and what they believe in. PETA would rather kill animals, than see them suffer lives of "slavery "as people's pets ! 

This is the same organization that has called for every shelter to kill every pit bull, including friendly ones: http://bit.ly/XrvcKf

This is the same organization that tells shelters to kill animals, rather than work with rescuers and foster parents: http://bit.ly/ZAnrvQ

The same organization that  has a history of putting 90% of animals to death within 24 hours: http://bit.ly/1eHkWlD

The same organization that put to death puppies they described as healthy, adoptable, adorable and perfect: www.whypetaeuthanizes.org/photos/

The same organization that celebrates when shelters kill, even after four years of not doing so: http://vimeo.com/48651351

And that complains when over 10,000 animals are adopted in a single day, rather than killed: www.nathanwinograd.com/?p=13122

Don’t take my word for it. Look at the evidence for yourself: www.whypetaeuthanizes.org/documents/
