ORIGINAL: AquaticSub ORIGINAL: Owner59 The profit motive is what drives those food producers to cut corners and cheat.Outfits like PETA,keep`m honest,by exposing the bad seeds.Corporate news,is certainly not going to muck-rake. Who keeps PETA honest? Who keeps PETA in line? Us,everyone,the law.Just like every group,mild to wild. Come on now, if hurricane Katrina taught us nothing is it that groups that claim to be good don't always have the best interests at heart. This is a group that protests shelters for doing exactly what they do. This is a fact. This is not from that website we know you hate. This is from the fact that PETA protests kill shelters with better adoption rates, "adoption rates", again,I don`t believe your stats. What independent outfit,like a legitimate news organization,has looked this so called adoption rate.you speak of? According to the stats you provided,Peta has killed only 1500 dogs and cats,every year.over the entire country,for the last nine years.The part about them having a lower adoption rate,is the trash point, here,That hasn`t been proven,and is really the point ,here. Coming from a PETA-hater,certainly makes it less believable. paints the workers as animal killers but says themselves that "sometimes the kindest thing we can do for animals is to humanely put them down". Isn`t that what you`ve done?Painted PETA,unfairly ,as animal killers? "sometimes the kindest thing we can do for animals is to humanely put them down". Well ,sugar,that`s just true.Sorry for the wake up call. We`ve gone into all the ins and outs of unwanted pets.What PETA is stressing there,is the humane part.Ie,the killings of un-wanted pets,with something less the standard,humane way,which is an over-dose of anesthesia,and what PETA`s beef is all about.Anything less than the OD of anesthesia, is cruel,period. PETA is simply not needed because the SPCA and other groups do the same things and, in fact, more effectively because they don't go after everything including fishing. Hence, people take the other groups more seriously. Why don`t you worry about your own self? PETA will do just fine without you,and anyone else that doesn`t care for them.This is Amercia(for now,anyway). Whether PETA does better or worse than other groups at dog rescue, is debatable. They don`t hide their agenda,and don`t need to.If you have a beef w/ them about something,say so. If you think you can do better than PETA,go right ahead. Don`t begrudge them for rescuing dogs,because of their other positions.The dogs need all the help they can get.PETA most certainly adds to the effort. It would be a shame,if more dogs had to suffer,because the "Beef Board" http://www.beefboard.org/ was able to dupe folks into believing that PETA was a bad faith outfit.
