Murder, Death, Kill--- PETA 's Motto...


Here's a tidbit from a friend I received and shows PETA's true colors-- Finally someone exposing these hypocrites

Hypocritical Animal Rights Group’s 2008 Disclosures Bring Pet Death Toll To 21,339
WASHINGTON DC – Today the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) published documents online showing that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care during 2008. Despite years of public outrage over its euthanasia program, the animal rights group kills an average of 5.8 pets every day at its Norfolk, VA headquarters.
According to public records from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA killed 2,124 pets last year and placed only seven in adoptive homes. Since 1998, a total of 21,339 dogs and cats have died at the hands of PETA workers.
Despite having a $32 million budget, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter. PETA employees make no discernible effort to find homes for the thousands of pets they kill every year. Last year, the Center for Consumer Freedom petitioned Virginia’s State Veterinarian to reclassify PETA as a slaughterhouse.
CCF Research Director David Martosko said: “PETA hasn’t slowed down its hypocritical killing machine one bit, but it keeps browbeating the rest of society with a phony ‘animal rights’ message. What about the rights of the thousands of dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens that die in PETA’s headquarters building?”
Martosko added: “Since killing pets is A-OK with PETA, why should anyone listen to their demands about eating meat, using lab rats for medical research, or taking children to the circus?”
CCF obtained PETA’s “Animal Record” filings since 1998 from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Members of the public can see these documents at PetaKillsAnimals.com.
In addition to exposing PETA’s hypocritical record of killing defenseless animals, the Center for Consumer Freedom has publicized the animal rights group’s ties to violent activists, and shed light on its aggressive message-marketing to children.
The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition supported by restaurants, food companies, and consumers, working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.

Thursday, January 17, 2008
The Center for Consumer Freedom, a non-profit trade group representing the interests of manufacturers and retailers, formally petitioned the Commonwealth of Virginia to reclassify PETA as a "slaughterhouse" .

An official report filed by PETA itself shows that the animal rights group put to death nearly every dog, cat, and other pet it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 animals. The organization killed 2,981 of the 3,061 "companion animals" it took in.

According to David Martosko, Research Director for CCF... "It is absurd to classify PETA as a 'humane society' when its employees are slaughtering nearly every companion animal they bring in. PETA has killed over 17,000 pets since 1998. Given the group's astonishing habit of killing adoptable dogs and cats with such ruthless efficiency, it's only fair that the state of Virginia refer to PETA as a slaughterhouse. "
CCF's petition was directed to Virginia'sDepartment of Agriculture and Consumer Services. If approved, the new classification would force PETA to abide an entirely new set of laws and regulations.

The Center of Consumer Freedom has set PETA in its sights because PETA has targeted the companies that CCF represents, such as food makers, department stores, and textile companies.
PETA's most successful publicity campaigns have been those against the fur industry, arguing that killing animals for fur is akin to cruelty. Yet ironically, PETA itself is killing thousands perfectly healthy and adoptable animals for no better reason than just ideology. Here's a great blog, http://www.petakillsanimals.com/ , for more truth of this murderous organization.

Racism? Way to go PETA!!!???


CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9ijLulwUTY . Here's also something I came across on another board, that also can be found on connected blogs to this blogs. This type of behavior shows the types of unacceptable measures these extremists will go to in the name of animals. I wonder how some of their celebirty supporters feel about this? I'm sure Russell Simmons, peta supporter, will not find it amusing along with many others. Please remember to support and check out www.stop-bsl.com, as we are working hard to make people aware of not only the truths about pitbulls, but also expose these orgs. ,such as hsus and peta, for what they really are.--------- FAR: PETA's protest of dog show crosses the line
Public Opinion Online


By GRAHAM MESSNER

For Public Opinion
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is a great name and a great root cause.

Who doesn't want to protect our pets?

But PETA consistently shoots itself in the foot with crazy stunts to attract attention to various events or practices they deem unacceptable. For example, PETA had a campaign a few years ago, "Holocaust on a Plate," that equated slaughtering animals for food to the systematic murder of millions of Jews. In the campaign, side-by-side photographs of dying Jews and slaughtered cows were used.

The most recent marketing debacle was when PETA showed up this week at Madison Square Garden for the Westminster Dog Show wearing Ku Klux Klan uniforms.

I mean, come on, man.

We just elected our first black president, and here is a group of people that actually thinks this was a responsible thing to do -- equating the American Kennel Club (AKC) to the KKK. At the Garden, a sign read, "The KKK and the AKC: BFF?" (BFF is an abbreviation for best friends forever).

Get it? Dogs are best friends. Oooo, clever.

What PETA is ticked off about is the breeding of dogs that is supported by the AKC. In essence, PETA accuses the AKC of promoting the creation of a master race of dogs.

I mean, come on, man.

Who sits around a conference table and thinks up this stuff?

"Hey, I know. What we'll do is get some KKK uniforms and wear them at Madison Square Garden at the dog show."

Apparently nobody in the room broke out in laughter; they all nodded their heads.

Furthermore, who were the Einsteins who volunteered to wear the KKK sheets? That sounds more like a dare in a "Jackass" movie than a responsible protest. What would they have done had one of the KKK "members" been assaulted?

Conversely, what if a bunch of Aryan brothers saw the two "members" and decided to start an impromptu show of solidarity? Again, it sounds more like a scene from "Dumb and Dumber."

I wonder how many African Americans who walked by that day signed up to join PETA? That kind of imagery is very powerful to many people. Do you think someone walked by and said, "Hmm, you guys wearing the sheets seem quite ... provocative. I'd like to learn more about your cause because I enjoy dressing up like Adolf Hitler at elite youth team sport tryouts to make a similar point."

PETA spokesman Michael McGraw called the comparison to the KKK "uncomfortable" for some.

Uncomfortable?

That's like saying that eating a whole Scotch Bonnet hot pepper is uncomfortable. No, it's horrific and potentially harmful.

The competitors who showed their dogs are people who care as much or more about dogs than any PETA member. These purebred dogs are better taken care of than a lot of people on the planet, and the dogs obviously enjoy the limelight.

What these people are saying is no one should buy a purebred Golden Retriever again? I know there are concerns, but I just think people have the right to choose whatever type of dog they want without a picket line.

I have a rescued mutt -- a chow-Rhodesian Ridgeback-golden retriever mix. She is the best dog I have ever owned and seems to possess all the best attributes of those breeds. Because of my own positive experience adopting from the fantastic Furry Friends Network, I would recommend that everyone buy a mixed breed rather than an AKC purebred with papers.

However, dressing up like Saddam Hussein at a local dog walk fundraiser might confuse any positive message I might have in regard to choosing mixed breeds.

Showing dogs is neither a criminal nor unethical. I wish PETA would spend more time going after the jerks out there who are truly abusing animals and humans. Go right to them. They're not hard to find. Name names.

Or better yet, express your opinion by holding a press conference. If people don't attend your press conference, then it might be time to have another meeting in the conference room and discuss why people not aligned with PETA aren't taking your arguments or causes seriously.

In PETA's mind, their stunt succeeded because people are having discussions about it. The problem is, the majority of the conversations people are having are about whether dressing up like the KKK is proper and respectful for any cause, rather than the intended subject of the negatives of pure breeding.

Things have gone too far for too long.
