I tried to post this last night but couldn't. string's post was a little cryptic, yes.

He was right about the CCF, but PETA certainly kills animals. The CCF numbers appear accurate, but 2K per year is miniscule.

"According to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA euthanized 1,946 companion animals (out of 2,138 animals surrendered to them or picked up as strays) in its home state of Virginia in 2005. [ [http://www.virginia.gov/vdacs_ar/cgi-bin/Vdacs_search.cgi?link_select=facility&form=fac_select&fac_num=157&year=2005 VDACS Online Animal Reporting] ] During that same year, 126,797 animals (out of 228,376 animals surrendered or picked up as strays) were euthanized at animal shelters in Virginia.

That aricle also quotes the Humane Society (I'm not assessing its credibility) for euthanesia estimates of 2m - 3m nationwide per year.

They openly and officially disagree with rights organizations that oppose euthenasia.
