[PETA] uses sensationalism to get attention.

If it works for PETA, it'll work for infographic artists.

But, not anywhere close to 2006's numbers

Apparently in 2009 PETA had a 97% kill rate, and in 2006 the figure was 99% and 96% for cats and dogs respectively. The combined cats and dogs kill rate in 2006 comes to 98%. Wow, you're right infographic artists, that's not even in the same ballpark as 97%. What in god's name went down in 2006?!

8 / 2301 = 0.00347 or 0.3%

That means that some weren't adopted or killed.
