Yup. PETA’s killing pets again.
From July 1998 through December 2008, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed over 25,112 dogs, cats, and other “companion animals.” That’s more than five defenseless creatures every day. PETA has a walk-in freezer to store the dead bodies, and contracts with a Virginia Beach company to cremate them.
You can see more at the site PETA Kills Animals, which is one of those sites that really, really bothers a certain sort of person. Like, say, the sort of person who doesn’t want to hear just how tasty my BACON and pineapple pizza was at lunch, or how I’m looking forward to taking some CHICKEN tomorrow and cooking it up for dinner. Of course, that sort of person will almost certainly assume that I’m just saying all of that because I’m a shill for animal exploiters, or something.
Actually, no: to exceptionally misquote Scarface I’ll boot to the head PETA for free. Although if Omaha Steaks wants to send over these babies in consideration for my trouble I’m not going to get bent out of shape about it.
Ya know, I’m pretty much for the humane treatment of animals in a general sense (inasmuch as I don’t want the meat that I eat to suffer exceptionally), but these guys are nuts. Even my vegetarian brother can’t stand them.
