The Center for Consumer Freedom is also not telling you that some of the shelters near PETA’s headquarters were shooting animals with rifles or gassing them in metal boxes. PETA’s getting the animals no one else wants.

Pet overpopulation is not going away anytime soon, so neither is euthanasia. It’s an important lesson to spay and neuter your dogs and cats, don’t buy from breeders and don’t even get a pet until you’ve got the time and money to take care of them.

They transferred 34 to other shelters.

They killed 2,124.

Any questions?

The misnamed “Center for Consumer Freedom” seems to have become the national leaders of the “no kill” movement, even though they’re in favor of quite a bit of animal killing – even lab experiments on live dogs and cats that are later killed, as well as the Canadian seal hunt. They’ve defended the “lifesaving research” of Huntingdon Life Sciences, which killed 12,800 animals, including dogs, in Splenda experiments! They also defend the research of Covance, which conducts tobacco experiments on dogs. They’re funded by multi-billion dollar corporations, so perhaps they could hit up their corporate sugar daddies for some animal shelter money. They promote “Redemption: The Myth of Pet Overpopulation” on their website, but write articles about the pet overpopulation problem: “Pet shelters are understaffed and overcrowded. Our few thousand operating shelters simply can’t handle the millions of cats and dogs they see each year.”

And they accuse PETA of hypocrisy!

PETA collects abo0ut $31 million every year. That’s around $2.6 million a month. Or $615,000 every week. With that kind of money, don’t you think they should be finding the odd stray kitten a home.

CCF is a front group for Philip Morris, Outback Steakhouse, KFC, cattle ranchers, and other animal exploiters who kill millions of animals every year, not out of compassion, but out of greed. CCF promotes meat-eating and defends corporations that send billions of cows, chickens, pigs, and other animals to terrifying, gruesome, and painful deaths in slaughterhouses.

PETA handled far more animals than 2,124 in 2008. In fact, we took in more than 10,000 dogs and cats, spaying and neutering all of them at low to no cost. We gave them shots, fixed their wounds and treated their illnesses, and returned them to the community. Most of the animals we took in and euthanized could hardly be called “pets,” as they had spent their lives on heavy chains, for instance. They were unsocialized, never having been inside a building of any kind or known a pat on the head. Others were indeed someone’s, but they were aged, sick, injured, dying, too aggressive to place, and the like, and PETA offered them a release from suffering, with no charge to their owners or custodians.

Those figures also do not include the hundreds upon hundreds of dogs and cats whose suffering PETA works to alleviate by providing them with free food when their owners are poor, clean water buckets, sturdy dog houses, straw for winter, and more, or the hundreds of adoptable dogs and cats we will not take in but refer to walk-in animal shelters and adoption centers. Since 2001, PETA’s low- to no-cost spay-and-neuter mobile clinics, SNIP and ABC, have sterilized more than 50,000 animals, preventing hundreds of thousands of animals from being born, neglected, abandoned, abused, or euthanized when no one wanted them. We also actively decrease the number of animals who end up in animal shelters only to be euthanized for lack of good homes by using star power to promote spaying and neutering in ads across the country.
On a national level, PETA is focusing on the root of the problem through our Animal Birth Control (ABC) campaign. The ABC campaign targets breeders, pet stores, and cat- and dog-breeding mills and in an active way through protests, PSAs, celebrity support, and investigations and puts the blame for the overpopulation crisis squarely where it belongs—with those who breed animals or allow their animals to breed. As long as animals are bred, homeless dogs and cats in animal shelters will die because there simply aren’t enough good homes for them all.

As long as animals are still be purposely bred and people aren’t spaying and neutering their companions, open-admission animal shelters and organizations like PETA must do society’s dirty work. Euthanasia is not a solution to overpopulation but rather a tragic necessity given the present crisis. PETA is proud to be a “shelter of last resort,” where animals who have no place to go or who are unwanted or suffering are welcomed with love and open arms.
