          Euthanasia as in mercy killing?

          Your beef with PETA is that they euthanize sick animals when shelters can’t afford to?

            Euthanasia as in animals, no matter the quality of life, adoptability, and years left, are put down by the thousands because they’re inconvenient to keep alive and get adopted while PETA preaches that killing animals is wrong. Also, did you read the bit about them kidnapping animals from kids and old people?

            Plus they’re cowards without the courage of their convictions. When I was growing up their protests included throwing red paint on people in fur but they wouldn’t do it to someone in biker leathers. One got them shunned and laughed at, the other would get them killed like the animals they stole.

            TL;DR their whole schtick is to either destroy others’ property or steal loved members of families who have fur while killing many more animals than they save.

                  I am just asking the total number that you are aware of?

                  Is it just 1? Is it 5? Is it 8 million?

                    Not sure why you’re being downvoted for just asking an honest question 🤷‍♂️

        High ideals but no means. They become hoarders and run out of money. Also it’s an org that long ago stopped being healthy.

          They are out of money?

          How did they stop bring healthy, in your opinion?

            I’m saying that they don’t bring in enough money to truly be a no kill org. Essentially they are saying one thing and not doing it themselves.

            As far as the org, it’s my belief that it started out with people who genuinely cared for animal welfare and wanted to do something about it. Over time the psychos edged out the good folk and now we get idiots breaking into university primate labs and releasing monkeys on the street.

              Are they still doing that? I haven’t heard about anything recently.

              My understanding is they have been following the laws while other more extreme groups are now doing the extreme work.

              My understanding could very well be wrong though.

                Frankly I’ve not paid attention over recent years so we may both be wrong here.
