Description
FACTPETA killed 86.3% of the animals in its care in 2004.
In June 2005, police investigators staked out a garbage container in Ahoskie, North Carolina after discovering that over one hundred dead animals had been dumped over the course of a month. [42]
Police observed PETA employees Andrew Benjamin Cook and Adria Joy Hinkle approach the trash container behind a grocery store in a van registered to PETA and dump 18 dead animals into it. Thirteen more were found inside the van. The animals were from shelters in Northampton and Bertie counties, where they were going to be euthanized with gas - PETA picked them up to euthanize them by injection, which is considered more humane. Police charged Cook and Hinkle each with 31 felony counts of animal cruelty and eight misdemeanor counts of illegal disposal of dead animals. These were dismissed on 14 October 2005, and 25 felony charges (22 of animal cruelty and three felony charges of obtaining property by false pretense) brought in their place. The latter charges are based on PETA having euthanized three cats from an Ahoskie veterinarian after allegedly promising to find the animals new homes [43])
Newkirk condemned the dumping of the animals, but noted "PETA has never made a secret of the fact that most of the animals picked up in North Carolina are euthanized." [44] According to PETA's own filings with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA killed 86.3% of the animals in its care in 2004. [45]. Similar filings for the Norfolk SPCA shelter, located 3.5 miles from the PETA headquarters, show that the Norfolk SPCA killed fewer than 5% of animals in its care. (PETA has pointed out that the Norfolk SPCA refuses to take in stray and unadoptable animals so they can continue to call themselves a "no-kill" shelter.) PETA has defended euthanasia by arguing that there are far more unwanted dogs and cats than there are good homes (millions of dogs and cats are euthanized every year in the US) and that euthanizing dogs and cats is more humane than leaving them on the street or putting them in a cage in a shelter for the rest of their lives.

PETA has also been accused of targeting "vulnerable or emotionally sensitive" groups, particularly teenage girls, and was ordered by Great Britain's Advertising Standards Authority to discontinue claims it made about milk consumption in a campaign targeted at school children.[32] The ad featured trading cards with statements such as "Sue's milk-drinking led to her battle with zits." Other cards claimed that dairy products cause obesity, belching and flatulence, and excessive nasal mucus build up. In response to the ruling, PETA modified the cards to address the Standards Authority's regulations. wikipedia.org
PETA is a multinational corporate, with no morals or ethics. It claims McDonalds uses bad practices, when the animals PETA saves, are dumped behind grocery stores, it gases animals to death to save money; and tricks school kids with lies about milk!

Beautiful pup, had one just like him that was a stray.
I eat meat. I'm okay with that. I have issues with Big Agri, what with employment of illegal immigrants, debeaked hens and feeding cow meat to cows and so forth, but while I admire people who avoid meat that don't get sanctimonious for it, there are meat eating animals, so it doesn't bother me.
This makes me angry. Thank you for educating me as to PETA's true filthy face.

the point is to give you an alternate view, not tell you what to believe in.

this is bull shit! its not even true! yeh i am a part of PETA2.org and i AM a vegan!

join the vegan club but you need to look more closely into PeTA.
im sick of being stereotyped as a PeTA member just because I am vegan.
theres nothing Vegan about letting tigers go extinct
theres nothing Vegan by killing helpless animals to increase revenue
theres nothing Vegan in paying ALF to destroy eco systems by releasing animals with god knows what viruses into the wild to dessemate the area.
drop the capitals in am.
50% of PeTA members are just on the bandwagon.

unfortunately the facts on the poster are entirely true.
I am not saying that everything about PeTA is wrong/evil/bad, just that things aren't as clear cut as they are made out to be.
We take everything at face value, without question or analysis. We must wake up and think for ourselves.

Do you have any proof that it's not true? Because there's a truckload of evidence to the contrary. Peta staff members are even being tried in court for animal cruelty.

sometimes its better for the animals for die. also that is a rumour;
π: 0 β©: 1
No it's not. It's a matter of public record, and you can find copies of all the legal documentation on line. It's been in the news a lot. Besides, PeTA members attack animal shelters all the time for euthanizing their animals, even though those other shelters save WAY more animals than PeTA.
Maybe PeTA could afford to save more animals if they wouldn't spend all their money attacking cancer research, funding the terrorist ALF group, and spreading lies about meat and dairy consumption.

What a bunch of consumer whores you are. Hiding behind your false banner of "freedom of choice." The only people currently deciding anything are the corporations manipulating your beliefs with these bullshit tactics.

i dont adopt shelter animals, but my family does take in hurt wolves/dogs, or farm animals that are about to be put down, like horses, pigs, cow, sheep, ducks, u name it we have it...

It either death or locked up in a cold cage for your entire life because no one will care for you. All shelters kill their animals if no one adopts them within a given time because there is no one company/person out there that can keep millions of strays alive and healthy. Just a sad fact of life but as a meat eater who cares, right? Only thing you should be complaining about is that the dog ended up burned instead of on your plate. Also as a meat eaters you all should be happy they kill and support them since they are such "animal killers"

Our shelter never kills non-vicious animals.

You are aware that PETA killed the animals within moments of recieving them, and that each animal was perfectly healthynd adoptable. A fact which PETA admitted and the Animal Sheltered testified on in court. Right? Or were you too fixated on a carnivore disagreeing with the senseless killing of animals by people who scream bloody murder when a kid drinks a glass of milk and then tells them their daddy is a murderer because he fishes.
People who are too blinded by their beliefs to view factual figures are beyond my understanding.
As for the piece, well done for drawingmore attention to what PeTA are really like

sorry bout advertisment.
the dogs trust (in the uk)
NEVER put a healthy dog down. EVER. I think they are the most honest charity around regarding animals.

If you are speaking of those who killed animals in their van, that was TWO people who felt the animals would not be later adopted.
Yeah, clearly because of a few corrupt people within an organization i should give up on the cause and believe anything you say...
People who are too blinded by a few corrupt acts to actually think about what they are causing and follow the rest like SHEEP is beyond my understanding.
"As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behavior toward creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right." β Isaac Bashevis Singer

They were supported right the way through the organistaion!
Did you read anything about this entire case?

"PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said it's against the group's policy for employees to dump animals in the trash, but "that for some animals in North Carolina, there is no kinder option than euthanasia."
They support euthanasia, like EVERY animal shelter, not killing them in vans and dumping them in your nearest dumpter.
Regardless of this past event or anything PETA does that seem to coincide with their cause, it does not justify killing animals nor does it give you an excuse to remain ignorant.
π: 0 β©: 1
It was against the policy of dumping in the trash, but not euthanasing the animals which they lied to gain posession of. That's supporting them. They euthanised perfectly adoptable animals within moments of recieving them after informing the shelter they would be re-homing them. And PETA did not disagree with this.
π: 0 β©: 2
Actually that's not in policy at all, hey don't lie at all, they clearly state the animal may not find placement. The animals are not euthanized until after a specific time limit UNLESS they are sick/old/etc. It's the same in all shelters. You cannot expect any shelter to be able to support all the unwanted pets. It's societies responsibility to do that. Perhaps you should actually work for PETA before you start judging them. It's just pathetic when people like you take one event and try to use it as your basis for everything anti-animal. Who are you to say PETA is wrong when you help kill animals, honestly.

What are you tallking about?
In court it was specifically stated that the 2 people in question had obtained the animals under false information (stating they would find homes for them) only to kill them an hour later. I can even get you the prosecutions closing argument where it clearly points it out if you like.
Regardless of whether a shelter is going to execute an animal or not you can't lie about finding them homes only to execute them in the back of your van with drugs you have no legal right to be using after being in posession of them for less than a day, and in some cases an hour. I didnt say it was PETA policy, i said that PETA had supported the two people throughout the trial and made no statement saying it was against the actions of euthanasing or obtaining the animals through deception. Not to mention their lawyer was provided by PETA.

And apparently these people that euthanize the animals were not trained veterinarians.

Once again, two corrupted people that worked within the company. The PETA policy states that owners will be told that they will be put up for adoption BUT they cannot guarantee that homes will be found for them. No animal shelter ever guarantees this and very often ends up putting down hundreds of animals.

If it was "just two corrupted people" then why did PETA fund their defence? Don't you like...you know...find that slightly weird?
If someone in my company acted against our policy the firm would not be paying their court bills and defending them and providing them with lawyers.
It doesn't matter what a shelter says or does regarding the execution and re-homing of animals, you cannot lie to gain custody of animals and then execute it on the premise of "well you were gonna do it anyway". Are you really that in love with PETA that you can't see the flawed logic there?
I read a good analogy.
If there is a man on death row who is due to be executed on the friday, but i kill him on the wednesday should i not be held accountable for his murder? Whether or not hewas slated to die is not my concern, and it is not legally ok for me to carry out the sentence myself. These people lied, with PETAs obvious blessing (otherwise they would not be funding their defence), to gain custody of animals they had no intention of EVER re-homing. They put them into a PETA registered van, and they executed them hours after recieving them.
You can dress it up as "just 2 corrupt people" all you like. But ask yourself why PETA would be providing them with a defence team if they were just "2 corrupt people".

Also, what are you talking about i kill animals?
I own several animals and am a massive animal lover. I donat to 4 seperate non-profit animal charities in the UK.
I dont support PETA because they exploit children and fun animal rights extremists.
Don't make personal judgements on me ever again.

I swear i responded to this but maybe it didn't go through..
Do you eat animals? You spend far more time attacking an AR group that DOES help animals whether you want to admit that or not. By doing that you are actually hurting AR movements. You give people an excuse for their actions. Why don't you take your time/energy and support animals instead of tearing down an AR group. There are already tons of meat eaters to do that for you.
So you rather children be lied to? What about when it comes to war, slavery, the holocaust? Lets just lie and "protect" them, we clearly need a more ignorant society. I also find it amusing you don't support extremists yet you have a piece in your gallery with Che, a well known extremist who killed thousands of people for his cause.
I will do what i please, you defined yourself by your own words, not I.
π: 0 β©: 1
The Che piece was for a competition.
You should think before assuming stuff.
Yes Iβm a meat eater, but what does that have to do with the way I treat animals? Do you kill a mosquito if it stings you? Come on, stop with the pointless and inane questions. People are not evil for eating meat. If we're evil for that, well then so is half the animal kingdom for eating meat. Go picket a McDonalds or something.
What does slavery, the holocaust and war have to do with PETA and animals rights? Apart from them mercilessly exploiting them to push their agenda on impressionable children. You immediately betray any kind of intelligence you may possess by comparing the tragedies you mentioned with animal testing.
Unless you are completely unable to read you will have noticed I said several times that do support several animal charities. Ones that don't fund criminals. The main benefactor is the RSPCA. Who have never funded terrorism or harmed anyone in their work to shelter and care for animals. I don't attack AR groups at all, in fact outside of PETA name me one other group I have spoken about. You come across as an a-typical activist teen. You see something that looks good and you support it without question or research and then when given facts seem unable to accept the truth. That's your problem, and yours alone. I've tried to keep this impersonal because I don't see the point in getting heated over this issue. However with each reply you write you seem to stray from the issue and become obsessed with my dietary habits and how i feel personally about animals.
I'll never support a group who give money to convicted criminals to put across an agenda that values the life of a rat as equal to the life of a child.
What do you mean lying to children by the way? I don't lie to kids. If a kid asks me where this meat comes from, Iβll tell them. For you to agree that advertising the way PETA does, in that milk is harmful to you, daddy is a murderer because he fishes etc is pathetic and compounds your complete and utter immaturity on the matter.
You and PETA might think exploiting kids, funding terrorism, killing animals illegally and outright lying is ok, I don't. Deal with it.
This conversation is over as you seem incapable of keeping things civil and on point.
π: 0 β©: 1
A competition, but nonetheless you still support the idea.
I don't assume, if it were a competition for PETA, you would not have done it, correct? Case closed.
and you call yourself an ANIMAL LOVER. hahah you are very amusing. What does it have to do with how you treat animals! LMAO! god that is hilarious. Gee i don't know, maybe because eating meat is the biggest support of torturing innocent creatures for your own pleasure. Unlike you, animals do not have a choice of what to eat. A lion cannot decide to eat grass in order to spare a zebra, YOU on the other hand can. You are human being who makes moral choices, therefore you are evil by choosing the more harmful choice. Not to mention the mass destruction and havoc created on the environment from the very choice of meat eating. You have no excuse for your actions other than, PLEASURE.
YOU COMPLETELY missed the point. I understand most of simple logic is difficult for you to wrap your head around but lets try again. You lie to your children about where their dinners come from so why not lie about every evil thing ever done. Might as well right?! Children are impressionable because their minds are open and they can easily recognize the truth. Apparently adults become stubborn and set in their ways so they never change, eh? I did not compare them to animal testing although i very well could since Jews were tested on in the very same manner animals are tested on.
Every animal charity has something corrupt within it therefore you DO fund criminals. Congrats. I am not a teen, but thank you. You should not stereotype, it makes you appear weak. I have done tons of research, tons of papers, tons of activist work, unlike yourself. You have a hard time focusing on the point and seem obsessed on me being an uneducated teen. Isn't it funny how you make excuses to try to accept my statements. "oh well she couldn't be educated! she must be a stupid teen just trying to be a rebel! oh those silly kids!" Who do you sound like?
You already have.
You support killing animals illegally by eating meat so guess what, you exploit kids by lying to them and teaching them harmful products are good for them, you fund terrorism by terrorizing animals globally through what you buy and teach. You support it all and cannot admit it, deal with it.
I hope someday you learn something instead of ignoring every point and acting mildly confused like you cant understand 2+2 =4. Keeping things civil? Yeah because this convo is so uncivil. You know whats really uncivil? Slaughtering a cow when you could eat a cruelty free meal.

okay how did the police know that they weren't sick or injured seriously when they died, i'm sure they were just putting them to a better place where they can't be harmed or abused, or abandoned.

After they kill them they put them in a walk in freezer for 3 to 4 monthes. Then once the freezer is full, they burn them all together, clean up the ash, and throw it out.
I also highly doubt that 97%(the 2007 record for euthed animals in PETA's "care") of the animals were sick to the point of no return.
I mean really.

If you go to the VDAC website and do some math, in 2005 Peta had euthanized over 90% of the animals that were placed in their care.. . .

Really though, every single organization on the planet has things that show what hypocrites they are, every single last religion, club, or gathering; what should make a group of animal rights extremists (extremism being the easiest path to ruin in a group) any better than the rest?
The whole 'euphanizing animals in secret' bit makes me sick, though. No matter what group you're in, you can't tell me that having unliscensed men and women riding around in van with their 'death camp in a tackle box' bit tossing the corpses into public dumpsters doesn't scream of something wrong. I read that article, and several related ones from both sides of the issue, and after I was done I just gathered up my dogs (all adopted from pounds with histories of abuse and medical issues in the package), gave them some treats and sat and hugged them for a while... Sad.

I already posted the following on this [link] another of your deviations but I thought it would be relevent to add it to the discussion going on here also.
.....................................................................................................................................................
ummmm...hey I just followed a link to your page from net-model and you have some really nice work!
But...I just read your whole "holier than thou" attitude on your PETA ad. I am neither for nor against PETA really, I do think that the worlds animals would be much worse off without the voice of PETA speaking, well shouting for them...rar going off point...you act as though you are against animal cruelty in the other discussion yet you think its perfectly OK to make fun of and humiliate our closest living relative in the sake of "art"...I dont see how that balances out?
You do know it is unbelievably cruel to dress chimps in human clothes dont you? You should know that an primate needs to be a primate or it suffers greatly at the hands of humans.
I KNOW its only a picture but it is still disturbing and most contradictory when put in relation to your rant about PETA.

Copy of post from other piece linked in your post...
as it happens, the picture I've made here isn't real! It's a construction using photoshop like the majority of my pieces. I'm unsure how it is meant to humilate the chimps, or make fun of them; most graph work like this is aimed to challenge perceptions of what is acceptable, and what is not; art is not just aiming at being asthetically pleasing
Was the film Planet of the Apes making fun of the apes in that? This is a similar idea to that. Sorry that you took it in the way you did, but thats just art.
The pig for instance was not really wearing a police hat!!
I didn't take a holier than thou attitude, or I should say, I didn't intend to, I was just presenting a few facts I thought were disturbing; for the adbusters project.
I didnt feel the need to tell their side of the story, as they do that already.
