No Rights for Dogs/Cats at Animal Rights Conference 2017

By Nathan J. Winograd | July 10, 2017July 10, 2017 by Nathan J. Winograd

Instead they celebrate a killing of them. Next month, the Animal Rights Conference will take place in Alexandria, VA. It bills itself as, “The world’s largest & longest-running event dedicated to the liberation of animals from all forms of human exploitation and use.” It is not. It is sponsored by PETA, an organization which is the functional equivalent of a slaughterhouse, its featured speaker from PETA kills animals by the thousands, and it prohibits other…

Gone in (Less Than) 60 Seconds

By Nathan J. Winograd | May 11, 2017 by Nathan J. Winograd

PETA and the Norfolk, VA, pound team kill many community cats and kittens the minute they enter the “shelter.” PETA claims killing is a last resort; that all the animals they take in are irremediably suffering and that the killing they do meets the dictionary definition of “euthanasia.” It is a lie. In addition to putting to death the vast majority of cats they take in, they also round up to kill healthy community cats…

More Kittens Dead at the Hands of PETA

By Nathan J. Winograd | May 9, 2017May 9, 2017 by Nathan J. Winograd

Last week I reported about all the kittens PETA rounded up and took to the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter in Newport News, VA, to be killed. PETA logged them as “live releases,” but only two (out of 20) were spared. Among the dead were unweaned neonatal kittens, six week old kittens, eight week old kittens, four month old kittens, seven month old juveniles, one year old juveniles, and adult cats. They were listed as having…

PETA Donations Spent to Slaughter Kittens

By Nathan J. Winograd | May 3, 2017May 3, 2017 by Nathan J. Winograd

PETA is using donations given to them under the mistaken belief that the organization will use those donations to save lives to have healthy cats and kittens poisoned, instead. Among the dead are unweaned neonatal kittens, six week old kittens with no health problems, eight week old kittens, four month old kittens, seven month old juveniles, one year old juveniles, and healthy adult cats. In 2016, PETA took in 1,069 cats. It put to death…

A Patently Unethical ‘Ethics’ Lesson

By Nathan J. Winograd | May 1, 2017May 1, 2017 by Nathan J. Winograd

In response to a question about whether to adopt a cat from a No Kill shelter or one that kills, The New York Times’ ethicist—citing PETA, HSUS, and the ASPCA—tells its readers that, “I myself have concluded that it can be O.K. to kill creatures” and that No Kill is a “noble aspiration” at best, but more likely leads to “warehousing.” He then suggest that readers do more research. It is an oxymoron for someone…

Honoring the Intent of SB 1381: Put PETA Out of the Killing Business

By Nathan J. Winograd | April 28, 2017December 6, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

After PETA took Maya, a family’s beloved dog, and killed her, the Virginia legislature overwhelmingly passed SB 1381 to make clear that a “private shelter” was not a tool for PETA and others to kill animals, but had to be “operated for the purpose of finding permanent adoptive homes and facilitating other lifesaving outcomes for animals.” Unfortunately, the proposed regulations written to implement SB 1381 will allow PETA to continue killing upwards of 96% of…

Judge Rebukes PETA Attorney for “Unprofessional” and “Contemptuous” Conduct

By Nathan J. Winograd | April 21, 2017December 3, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

Despite its name, PETA is an unethical organization: it rounds up and kills community cats, it fights shelter reform, it lies to people to acquire their animals to kill, it defends abusive shelter practices, and it puts to death thousands of animals — including healthy puppies and kittens. In short, they are contemptuous of our collective values. It is no surprise then, it would hire lawyers who also demean themselves unprofessionally and contemptuously. As many…

Allowing PETA To Get Away With “Murder”

By Nathan J. Winograd | March 27, 2017December 6, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

Your Help Need to Stop VDACS Commissioner & Staff From Betraying Animals If there was any doubt that the bureaucrats in charge of protecting animals in “shelters” and from PETA at the Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (VDACS) will always turn a blind eye to abuse and killing, that doubt is now gone. With the stroke of a pen, they are proposing to allow PETA to continue killing thousands of animals every year,…

PETA: Maya Lawsuit Update

By Nathan J. Winograd | March 23, 2017December 6, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

Affidavit submitted to court by former employee details how PETA lies to acquire animals to kill, removes pets from homes, kills highly adoptable animals such as puppies and kittens without ever trying to find them homes, and kills feral cats using cruel methods. For those who have been following this blog, you already know that PETA and two of its staff are being sued for taking and killing Maya, a family’s dog. You also know…
