PETA is, as an organizatioon, not good.

First, I would like to define "good" as the following: right; proper. Point One – PETA doesn't treat animals well. The "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals" treat animals anything BUT ethically. For example, they have killed over 20,000 overall [1]. Not to ignore the fact that in 2008, PETA took in over 2000 animals. They found homes for 7, and the rest were euthanized [1]. This shows that PETA, which has over 25 MILLION dollars in annual "income," [2] would rather kill animals, as opposed to finding them homes. And it's also impossible to say that PETA can't find homes for these animals, as a much smaller adoption agency (the Virginia Beach SPCA), which is just 5 miles from their Norfolk Headquarters had an adoption rate of 67% in 2007. And it's also impossible to say that this is an isolated incident in a group that largely does good deeds in the world. Point Two – PETA doesn't even bury the animal's bodies. In an animal cruelty case against two PETA employees, the two were accused of asking for healthy dogs from other animal adoption agencies and then later that day dropping the corpse's of 18 (on a side note, there were 13 more in the van) healthy dogs and puppies (the corpses were also in plastic bags) in a shopping center trash bin, after killing them. Both the police and the workers at the other adoption agencies testified against PETA at the case. . Ingrid Newkirk, PETA's head, said it's against the group's policy for employees to dump animals in the trash, but "that for some animals in North Carolina, there is no kinder option than euthanasia. " This shows that this… slaughtering of animals is part of the companies' policy. This is not "ethical" at all, and shows PETA's blatant lack of respect toward animals. Point Three – PETA could become a no-kill shelter immediately, but chooses not to. In 2000, Ingrid Newkirk said "We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. " [3]. Also, PETA has a walk in refrigerator that a PETA manager testified (under oath) was for storing animal corpses until they are shipped off to a crematorium (the fact that PETA had a contract with a crematorium is shown by the following quote from Daphna Nachminovitch, PETA's research and investigations department, "We had a contract with Pet Cremation Services of Tidewater. ") Point Four – PETA funds criminals PETA has donated over 150,000$ to criminal activists convicted of arson, burglary, and attempted murder [4]. In 2001, PETA donated 1,500$ to the North American Earth Liberation Front, which is an organization which the FBI classifies as domestic terrorists. Also, since 2000 alone, over 80 PETA activists have been arrested for breaking laws during PETA protests. The reasons include all of the fallowing: Felony obstruction of government property, criminal mischief, assaulting a cabinet official, felony vandalism, performing obscene acts in public, destruction of federal property, and burglary. A summary of my arguments Argument 1 – PETA treats animals horribly, as shown by how many animals they kill. Argument 2 – PETA treats the animals corpses disgracefully Argument 3 – PETA could save these animals, but choose not to Argument 4 – PETA gives money to both criminals and criminal organizations. 1 = . http://www.petakillsanimals.com... 2 = . http://www.peta.org... 3 = . http://www.petakillsanimals.com... 4 = . http://www.petakillsanimals.com...
