It’s been almost a month since my last post. To make up for that, I’ll quote an article that’s over nine months old.

The Center for Consumer Freedom<\/a> has been a consistent critic of extremist animal rights organizations and has been a valuable source of information regarding not only the terrorist measures to which these groups will resort, but also regarding their financial gains from donations by an unwitting, uninformed public.<\/p>\n

A press release<\/a> from March 3, 2006, states that, in 2005, as reported by PETA to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), PETA killed over 90% of the animals that they received at their Norfolk headquarters.<\/p>\n

According to a statistics table<\/a> on a related site, that’s 1,946 killed, 146 adopted, and 69 transferred to other shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Year<\/td>\n2005<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Received<\/td>\n2,145<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Adopted<\/td>\n146<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Killed<\/td>\n1,946<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Transferred<\/td>\n69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
% Killed<\/td>\n90.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
% Adopted<\/td>\n6.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

If you’re a little skeptical, you may want to view earlier original reports<\/a> (from 1998 to 2004) submitted to the VDACS. This is a PDF file, so you’ll need Adobe Acrobat Reader<\/a> to view it.<\/p>\n

Given PETA President Ingrid Newkirk’s unequivocal support<\/a>, not only of “pit bull” bans, but also of the automatic destruction of “pit bulls” entering shelters, I wonder how many big-headed dogs with silly grins ended up on the killing floor?
