That's right, this warm fuzzy bastion of animal rights kills every once beloved family pet who has the misfortune of being carried through PETA's doors. People take animals to PETA instead of local shelters because they believe that they will be placed into a home and will not be put down. Unlike local animal shelters, PETA doesn't even bother trying to find homes for these pets. All of them are killed within a few hours. In fact, PETA has gone through several area vets, and they refused to euthanize healthy animals. Finally PETA constructed their own facilities for this practice.

Any comments?

Robert...if this is really true, I'm absolutely speechless. Euthanizing an ill animal who is suffering is one thing, ending an animal's life because it is a source of food is another. Even euthanizing an animal for which no home can be found, I can understand (although I don't like it and have adopted animals from the local shelter instead of purchasing them from a pet store for that reason alone) but this....I'm speechless.
