Why PETA Kills

Why PETA Kills is available on Amazon. From now until Sunday, December 3, it is available as a free download. Why? Why does PETA kill thousands of dogs and cats every year? Why are PETA employees instructed to acquire animals by any means necessary – which has included lying and theft – in order to kill those animals? Why do they encourage others to kill them? And why do they embrace and defend even abusive…

Protesting the Protesters

This week, this full page ad ran in the East Bay Express  to protest the fact that Ingrid Newkirk, the Butcher of Norfolk, has been invited to the Bay Area to give the keynote address at an upcoming conference sponsored by Berkeley-based group Direct Action Everywhere (DxE). DxE claims “that every animal has an equal right to be safe and happy and free,” but they do not believe that applies to the animals Newkirk and…

The Butcher of Norfolk is Coming to Berkeley

Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) has invited PETA President Ingrid Newkirk to speak in Berkeley on October 20.   Newkirk is the architect of PETA’s campaign of companion animal extermination which has claimed the lives of at least 32,744 over the last 13 years. These animals are often acquired through trapping, lying, and even, outright theft, and most are killed immediately, without ever being made available for adoption. Last year, after I learned that DxE had…

Colorado on the Cusp

Colorado has an 89% statewide live release rate for dogs and cats. Humane Society of Fremont County is leading the way. Sugar was surrendered to Humane Society of Fremont County by the dog’s owner because she was “aggressive toward people and other dogs.” Most shelters would have killed her as “owner requested euthanasia” without ever giving her a chance. They would not have counted her in statistics and, by sweeping her death under the rug…

PETA’s ‘Outlandish Lies’

One of many healthy puppies killed by PETA after lying to get custody of him. PETA promised he would have no problem finding a home only to then kill him within minutes in the back of their van. A former PETA fieldworker says that killing is not an ancillary part of PETA’s Community Animal Project; it goes to the core of the mission. “The objective of the program,” she says, “was to get as many…

PETA Arrives in Houston

The animals caught in Hurricane Harvey’s path have survived the most punishing storm and torrential rain in U.S. history. This includes not just dogs: And cats: But squirrels: Bats: Hawks: Opposums: And even ants: But some of them will not survive PETA. The photo is of the signature white van of PETA’s Community Animal Project. This is the type of van — and may actually be the same van — that: Rounds up and kills…

No Rights for Dogs/Cats at Animal Rights Conference 2017

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…

Welcome Home

 An Animal Rights Perspective on Living with Dogs & Cats I am pleased to announce that Welcome Home, our new book, is now available on Amazon by clicking here. For the vast majority of people, the bond they share with their dog or cat companion is a familial one, born of love and mutual affection. Indeed, interspecies relationships in the world are not rare and they are relationships that humans generally celebrate as evidence of…

Gone in (Less Than) 60 Seconds

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…
