PETA AND THEIR SCARY TACTICS

PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is a proponent of euthanasia. The definition of euthanasia says that animals that are seriously ill are put to a painless death. It would be difficult to find a human being who would disagree with this function, but this is the only type of killing of animals that PETA will discuss; they are also accused of “euthanizing” (an incorrect use of the word) healthy animals. They receive several animals in their shelters and have not been able to find homes for all of them. The percentage of healthy animals that PETA has killed has been estimated to be 85% of the total number of animals rescued by them.

No matter how PETA tries to justify their practice of killing animals when they cannot find homes for them, it is not necessary to do so 85% of the time as PETA does. The Humane Society has discovered this to be the truth. The Humane Society of Nevada began to implement a strategy of refusing to kill the animals that are surrendered to them; as a result, they have saved 90% of their animals from the risk of being put to sleep. So it can be done and several other shelters have also gone out of their way not to kill their animals with even better results than the Nevada Humane Society.

PETA, which is in the business of recklessly ending the lives of animals, is protesting the actions of slaughterhouses in a new way. The Amityville house is currently on the market and PETA would like to lease it for the purpose of setting up a house of horrors which demonstrates the cruelty that is done to animals in slaughterhouses. “In our horror house, the sound of slaughterhouse blades whirring while animals scream for their lives would play over loudspeakers.” Tracy Reiman, vice-president of PETA wrote to the present owners of the Long Island home. Visitors would be able to see animatronic hens struggling for space inside tiny battery cages and lifelike ‘fish’ gasping for air as they slowly suffocate on the deck of a fishing boat.” Good luck with that one.

It is up to you to decide whether or not PETA can be a credible protector of animals. In an earlier post I had already mentioned that they were annoying. This latest move makes them even more so.
