OK, so although it may seem so, I DO NOT have a personal vendetta against PETA – they’re just so hypocritical and ludicrous that it’s easy to make fun of them.
Case in point: In a recent “Animal Record” report filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA reported that of the 2,216 animals it took in in 2008, only 7 (yes SEVEN) of them were placed in homes.
Why would PETA euthanize so many pets entrusted to them under the premise of finding adequate homes? It’s not real hard to figure out. As with most things, you need only look to the money.
You see, PETA has an annual budget of $32 million. They’re pretty aggressive in their advertising, and that costs money. The simple logic seems to indicate that in order to spread their message of animal rights and prevention of animal cruelty, PETA consciously disregards the former and actively engages in the latter.
And the 2008 year is not an anomaly. This has happened before, as illustrated in this 2003 cartoon from www.PETAsucks.com
And just because it made me laugh, and is pretty much on topic:
