Thread Name: BS: Pycho Killer Raccoons. Yipes!
Subject: RE: BS: Pycho Killer Raccoons. Yipes!
This was included in a newsletter I got over a year ago (the newsletter is unrelated to PETA):


According to PETA's own filings,
in
2004 PETA *killed* 86.3 percent of the animals entrusted to its care
--
a number that's rising, not falling. Meanwhile, the SPCA in PETA's
home
town (Norfolk, Va.) was able to find loving homes for 73 percent of
the
animals put in its care. A shortage of funds? Nope: last year PETA
took
in $29 million in tax-exempt donations. It simply has other
priorities
for the funds, like funding terrorism (yes, really). But don't take
my
word for it: I got my figures from http://www.PETAkillsAnimals.com --
and they have copies of PETA's state and federal filings to back it
up.
The bottom line: if you donate money to PETA because you think they
care for and about animals, you need to think some more. PETA
literally
yells and screams about how others "kill animals" but THIS is how
they
operate? Pathetic.
