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 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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
A cat available for adoption at Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center. It reported a 97% live release rate for dogs, 92% for cats, and 100% for other animal companions, putting Augusta County, Staunton, and Waynesboro on the saving90.org map. In 2016, Virginia shelters collectively had an 88% live release rate for dogs, 91% for rabbits and other animal companions, 94% for horses, and 68% for cats. This is above the national average of 78%…
Just Released Statistics Show that in 2016, PETA Killed 854 Cats and 557 Dogs. Please Contact Virginia Officials to Demand an End to It. In addition to killing 854 cats, PETA urged officials in various communities across the country to round up and kill cats, too, including the Seaside Heights, NJ, Boardwalk cats. Your donation dollars at work. The Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (VDACS) has finally received and posted PETA’s killing rate…
According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, ‘Cats smell, they are a nuisance, make too much noise, are a public health and rabies threat, transmit disease and parasites, including “roundworms, hookworms, and even plague,” and “terrorize and kill” 15 billion other animals a year.’ The only thing missing is a claim they are in league in witches. Why is PETA demonizing cats? They are trying to stop Camden County, NJ, officials from embracing…
