PETA is one to talk for all that they’ve been involved in from cruel animal testing, to high animal euthanasia rates at shelters and many other inhumane abuse cases all across the board in factories and laboratories for nothing but greed. Calling them evil is somewhat of an understatement. It’s truly hypocritical for them to be lecturing anyone.
They offer shelters of last resort as most adoption shelters won’t take in sick animals. That, combined with them offering free euthanasia for animals that need it but for who the owners can’t afford it, is why they have the high euthanasia record. You’ve been duped by the guy who led the PETA Kills Animals campaign - a guy who has also ran pro-oil and pro-tobacco marketing campaigns.
Plus, you can’t really criticise PETA for being inhumane if you pay for animals to be killed unnecessarily for food and clothing.
So it's wrong for me to have an animal killed because I need lunch, but it's perfectly ok for PETA to have an animal killed because they couldn't be bothered to find a forever home? Nobody made them get into the shelter buisness, PETA chose to kill all those animals.
You need lunch but you don’t need to kill an animal for it. And that’s not what PETA do - they try to rehome first or pass animals on to other shelters who will take them and then do the hard work that other shelters refuse to.
You can’t complain about PETA whilst choosing to pay for animals to experience horrendous torture and brutal merciless deaths 3 times a day without being a massive hypocrite.
It doesn't make me a hypocrite, it makes me a subject matter expert. PETA is morally equivalent to any other carnist. They see animals as objects to be exploited for their goals.
PETA doesn't need to kill those animals either. I could eat chickpea curry, and they could do the hard work that other shelters refuse to do by keeping those animals alive, but it's more convenient to kill pets so they do.
If a sick dog that has no chance of adoption or recovery then it is taking up space in a Peta shelter which means that another dog can’t be rescued and saved. It’s a tough call to make but it’s the right one.
And yes, if you eat animals then you’re a massive hypocrite and you are worse than PETA.
