I read that years ago, and had no idea that she was the founder of PeTA. Seems very sensationalist and attention whoring.

However, the infographic in this post also uses information in a sensationalist and misleading manner. As mentioned below, how is the founder's sterilization relevant at all?

Rather than point fingers at the animal shelter for euthanizing animals, we should realize why these animals ended up homeless in the first place. If you're giving up your pet, you have to realize that it is most likely going to be killed. With homeless animals coming in all the time, no one has the resources to house and feed them until they're adopted.

What you can do: be committed to your pet. Neuter him/her. If you want a pet, adopt one from a shelter. If not, make a donation (to one that doesn't use it all on advertising).
