PETA: even when you die!

Published today in our local paper - PETA now has the support of a New Mexico coffin builder by purchasing a special PETA logo on your coffin!

That's not ALL PETA has done!

A magazine (I won't name it) had an ad stating that if you purchased a subscription, PETA would send you a gift (evidently PETA paid for the ad). Well, guess what the gift was!
A BODY BAG for your dog so you'd have it when your dog died! The magazine received so many complaints they cancelled the ad.

I find it VERY believeable! They would rather kill a dog or cat rather than let you have it as a pet.

PETA Exposed as Animal Killer
by Fred Bonner

Most North Carolinians are familiar with the organization. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). We were outraged several years ago when two PETA employees who were collecting live animals from animal shelters in eastern North Carolina and supposedly transporting them to PETA’s headquarters in Virginia Beach where the animals were to be “adopted’ were, instead, killing the animals themselves.
After an investigation by local sheriff’s departments, it was discovered that the animals were being killed by the PETA employees soon after they were collected and the carcasses dumped into local (NC.) trash receptacles before they ever got to the Virginia border.
Now a report submitted to a Virginia government agency adds even further doubts as to the intentions of the PETA organization.
According to a release from the Center for Consumer Freedom, “An official report from People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals submitted nine months after a Virginia government agency’s deadline, shows that the animal rights group put to death more than 97 percent of the dogs, cats, and other pets it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 pets. The nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is calling on PETA to either end its hypocritical angel-of-death program, or stop its senseless condemnation of Americans who believe it’s perfectly ethical to use animals for food, clothing, and critical medical research,
“Not counting animals PETA held only temporarily in its spay-neuter program, the organization took in 3,061 “companion animals” in 2006, of which it killed 2,981. According to Virginia’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA killed 97.4 percent of the animals it took in. The organization filed its 2006 report this month, nine months after the VDACS deadline of March 31, 2007.
“Pet lovers should be outraged,” said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. “There are thousands of worthwhile animal shelters that deserve Americans’ support. PETA is not one of them,”
“In courtroom testimony last year, a PETA manager acknowledged that her organization maintains a large walk-in freezer for storing dead animals, and that PETA contracts with a Virginia cremation service to dispose of the bodies. In that trial, two PETA employees were convicted of dumping dead animals in a rural North Carolina trash dumpster.
“In Southampton County, Virginia, another PETA employee will face felony charges in a dog-napping case. Andrea Florence Benoit Harris was arrested in late 2006 for allegedly abducting a hunting dog and attempting to transport it to PETA’s Norfolk headquarters.
PETA raised over $30 million last year,” Martosko added, “and it’s using that money to kill the only flesh-and-blood animals its employees actually see. The scale of PETA’s hypocrisy is simply staggering.”

I'm embarrassed to tell some people that I'm from the Tidewater area of Virginia for the simple fact that PETA's home base is in Norfolk,Va.

back when i lived in the hampton roads area a radio station used to host a fishin tourney right in front of peta HQ i believe it was 96x at the time but it was always a good time showing these people we will not simply go away because of their sick demented beliefs if we stand together i believe there are more of us than there are of them lets put em in their place

MONEY

IF ALL of us - hound owners, pet owners, deer hunters, coonhunters, squirrel hunters, hog hunters, show exhibitors, and those who fish could JOIN TOGETHER and educate the public about PETA & HSUS antics, we could be a strong force. But remember, Obama has already said he'll support animal rights and HE is supported by OPRAH whom supports HSUS. They have MILLIONS of DOLLARS to use against us as they propose no hunting, fishing, hounds along with no meat. fish, poultry, dairy, eggs in American menus. They attack the animal agriculture industry by putting in polititions who propose ridiculous production legislation. And they do the same legislative attacks (using THEIR funded polititions) to chip away at pet ownership, hounds, hunting & fishing. By making these activities expensive and very restrictive they manage to phase out our activities. They are also now utilizing local EPA laws. We need to find attorneys with OUR interests & keep them on retainer in every state, as the AR people are getting away with intimidating too many who do not have the means or knowledge to fight back, and so they fold - even when their rights have been trampled. This may sound expensive, but if every club and/or event could contribute a small fee to have a GOOD (MEAN & AGRESSIVE) attorney available in their state, some of these AR people wouldn't be so eager to trample those who don't conform with HSUS/PETA, etc. Remember, HSUS & PETA (especially HSUS) spew some very effective propaganda to MILLIONS through their web site and mailings. Hollywood also helps them - "Fox & Hound" refers to a hound owner as a "cruel hunter." 101 Dalmations gets licks in about how cruel people are who wear fur. And deer hunters have all been asked "do you mean you shoot BAMBI?" If ALL of us don't unite, our rights will continue to RAPIDLY slip away.
