But is this really a simple math problem? Nathan Winograd doesn't think so. When the data on PETA dropped, he posted a scathing article insisting that the organization's almost percent kill rate was due not to laziness or poor management but to "something more nefarious. At one point, he even compares her to nurses who get a thrill from killing their human patients. Look past the rage, though, and it becomes clear that Winograd has an important case to make.
In PETA's response to me, Schinke wrote, "Winograd dishonestly and viciously attacks all open admission shelters, those that do not shut the door to any animal, even those for whom peaceful release is a mercy. Winograd, however, argues persuasively that PETA euthanizes far more than just the unadoptable cases.
In the following excerpt from his blog, he reveals that Newkirk admits to killing animals that are "adoptable":. In a December 2, , interview with George Stroumboulopoulos of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Stroumboulopoulos asks Newkirk: "Do you euthanize those pets, the adoptable ones, if you get them?
In an email to me, Winograd elaborated, noting that when The Daily Caller asked PETA "what sort of effort it routinely makes to find adoptive homes for animals in its care," PETA responded with the ever convenient "no comment. It is a lie because rescue groups and individuals have come forward stating that the animals they gave PETA were healthy and adoptable. I have done a report about PETA for my school. I researched for hours. As I am not naive with these kind of situations, When I found a liable piece of information, I would research more about the stories and topics.
Many I found were true. Can you declare that PETA putting a pregnant not-so-covered woman in a cage, and placing a sign before her stating pregnant woman are pigs? Of course, I have nothing against vegans or vegatarians. But PETA tends to use shock tactics, as this website stated. They are SO much more than correct. This is a very risky tactic, so them already being hated for putting down completely healthy animals, 40, animals since to be exact, Is not the best remedy to heal their already infamous organization.
Take the Zarate case for example. She was murdered later that day, because PETA is apparently much too lazy to take in the dogs for a literal 5-day grace period. I swear to God, I cried reading this. Just hearing the name PETA makes my blood boil. If you need more proof, find these incidents. They have tried so many times to cover up their horrible deeds, But the hole they punctured keeps growing and growing, the more people realize how much of a fake they are.
Im sorry, What?? PETA Is horrible. Do you think that calling women pigs, euthanizing healthy animals and being sexist and more Is ok? Im sorry but I think a brick fell on your head. I feel like you should read all of this again and see how bad It Is. I agree to disagree with many factors in regards to PETA. The few great things I know about peta is they have brought more attention to animal suffering than so many other organizations.
Their private investigations into the horrifying truths of how PetSmart and Petco treat the animals they sell and especially the suppliers they get their animals from who cause massive amounts of suffering torture abuse and neglect of innocent animals that I would have never known about had not peta did these investigations.
PETA is incorrigible. Please stop trying to defend them with this mild-mannered way of approaching their actions. Please reconsider and try to find different sources of information to educate yourself and make your decision. There are alternatives to PETA. I state several times that they overstep the mark. I truly believe their intentions are good, but how they go about it is wrong. If you have some recommendations do let me know.
Thank you for this article! You explained the positive and negative side of PETA very well with links and examples. I personally support them from their extreme demonstrations to undercovering animal abusers, from their persistence to the fashion industry to stop using leather and fur, etc.
Regarding snatching innocent animals…, I will have to research more on that. Also, you are correct saying their intentions are good but their tactics need improvement.
Peta is not trying to use shame or horror to change people. If that was the case, this entire planet would already be vegan. They are showing how animals are treated and the reality is…. We are more educated now to know that chicken is not the only protein.
Take a look at PETA issues of concern and actions to take. Relieve suffering of the innocent. Who would hesitate to help those cruely treated. Everyone has their individual views. That and their stance on animal experiments and use in so-called entertainment are more than enough to make me support them. And continue to criticize. This was rather disgusting to read. The private investigators? Actual animals lovers would do their research before blindly jumping into an organization, so I have the right to believe you work for PETA and are trying to cover up your scandals.
But thank you for your input. This comment reeks of ignorance and classism. Your generalization of houseless people is frankly quite disgusting and disturbing, not to mention the damage it causes to the most vulnerable in our society.
Leave your ivory tower and spend an hour as a houseless person and get back to me. Any organization that shows cruelty is amazing. It is. When does an animal have a defense attorney to represent. I hate all cruelty. I am a teacher of special education students. They get it. It has to stop. How can we love all when we watch the innocent cry and suffer.
Be a better Hunan and protect the ones that ate still enslaved. The ones that love unconditionally and have no idea why we hurt them. Make this a better place. Which is incredibly frustrating. I agree with helping animals and stopping torture but they need to be more mature and organized about how they are running organization. They would get more support that way.
Have you taken more seriously. That is vile. They have an open shelter, with no restrictions on which animals they take in. There are 20 similar shelters in the state, with no restrictions. PETA kills 13 times the number of dogs as the average shelter in Virginia. They kill 6 times as many dogs as the average open shelter, with no restrictions. For a highly funded non profit that clames to love animals, there is no reason to kill this many animals.
Extremism in all forms should be recognized for what it is. Help stop animals from being mistreated in the fur industry and at John Hopkins university. Look it up. Sheep are sheared for their own health and comfort even when the wool is thrown away!
It astounded me that they could get away with it. Even if the ad was eventually pulled they did damage. There were companies proudly declaring that they would now use only synthetic wool! Great, more micro plastics in the ocean! Wool is a renewable, biodegradable resource. Now I know that everything they say could be an outright lie. Still, PETA maintains that wool clothing causes sheep suffering because they are kept captive and forced to grow hair for our benefit, and that shearing lambs can cause mutilation and death.
Farmers objected to this ad, and launched a formal complaint. Some responded by doing counter-ads , where the shearers posed naked while shearing sheep, to show that they were not uncaring, and that the sheep were not harmed in the process. PETA claims the game primes people to mistreat animals. PETA has routinely objectified women to protest the objectification of animals. Throughout their existence, PETA has created ads and demonstrations that use naked, abused , or sexually objectified women.
They've shown women in chains and have even parodied public service announcements about abuse to make statements about how animals are mistreated. They've even resorted to fat- and body-shaming women to try to get them to go vegan. Some of PETA's ads have verged on the pornograpic. Their Super Bowl ad - which was banned - depicted couples having sex to claim vegans were better lovers. The tag line was: "Last Longer.
Go Vegan. Following erroneous claims that vaccines cause autism , PETA made its own unscientific allegation: they erected a billboard claiming milk causes autism. The ad even riffed on the famous "Got Milk? The Autism Self Advocacy Network fought to have the billboard taken down , and they eventually won. Even then, PETA did not back down on its stance that dairy worsens or causes autism. They even point to online testimonials as potential proof of dairy's harmfulness when it comes to autism.
As the article on their site puts it:. Regardless of the cause, testimonials show that many people with this condition may be able to find relief with a simple dietary change—removing milk from their diet. The studies PETA cited, however, have been refuted. KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders - a real person, not a brand cartoon - passed in , leaving behind countless family, friends, and associates.
Then, they commissioned a headstone with Prescott's name on it and a poem :. Today we honor your memory Our love for you continues Rest in peace Those suffering and Unable to move Remember you Each one striving for Salvation. Brother In us as in you Remain Dreams for the Souls of the voiceless. When asked about the gravestone, Prescott said:. This headstone will remind visitors that KFC stands for cruelty and death. The cemetery later demaded that PETA remove the headstone. PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk wants to be useful to the animal welfare movement even from beyond the grave.
She hoped that PETA would use her corpse to protest animal cruelty. Newkirk went so far as to write a will that asks PETA to turn her skin into leather and use her body for food. She also requested that her body parts be sent to different officials in the meat and animal industries:. That one of my eyes be removed, mounted, and delivered to the administrator of the U.
Environmental Protection Agency as a reminder that PETA will continue to be watching the agency until it stops poisoning and torturing animals in useless and cruel experiments; that the other is to be used as PETA sees fit. After Jeffrey Dahmer - the Milwaukee-based serial killer who murdered, mutilated, and cannibalized his victims - was arrested in , the public was distressed to hear details of his crimes.
PETA used the news for their own publicity. The organization produced a newspaper ad that described what sounded like a grisly, Dahmer-esque murder, but turned out to be the slaughter of animals:. July They were drugged and dragged across the room. Their legs and feet were bound together. Their struggles and cries went unanswered. Then they were slaughtered and their heads sawn off. Their body parts were refrigerated to be eaten later. It's still going on. If this leaves a bad taste in your mouth, become a vegetarian.
