This is a mail they sent my way. o-o SRSLY, THEY WANTS ME TO COOK SEA KITTENS AND BBY COWS.

Me: "So that's why only SEVEN out of fucking 2,124 animals in your shelter were rehomed? That's low, really low. I highly doubt that the shelters dump and throw animals at you lot just to put them down.

I find you a rude and offensive company. I've had people throw paint at me, I've had the fliers of Your Mommy Kills Animals given out to my brothers without my parents consent and I find your 'Holocaust on a Plate' rude and offensive, along with your moronic thing about meat making males unable to 'get it up' and the way you portray women in your stupid ads. I will not support a company like that- especially when they promote violent coorperations like ALF and ELF and dump the bodies of animals in dumpsters after killing them.

Infact, I hate your company so much. The only reason my brother is alive is because of drugs tested on animals. I hate and despise everything you stand for.

Now, excuse-me, I have to go back to cooking my cows and sea kittens."

Peta: "Good luck with all you do to make the world a better place!

I think I love you. And yes; when I give money to animal welfare charities it goes to a charity that actually REHOMES dogs and never euthanise a healthy animal. Not one that spends the majority of its budget on shock-horror misleading advertising and does bugger-all to improve the life of a single living creature.

could you copy paste the other two mails

Peta's fucking retarded. I don't even know why people bother.

Blah, they were telling me shit that those shelters send them the animals they want to be put down and that's why their numbers are low.

EDIT: Here. D8 God damnit, PETA sent me a fucking novel with each mail;

PETA: Hey there,

I saw your comment and I just wanted to clear a few things up with you!

Recently, some groups have made misleading claims about PETA’s euthanasia rate compared to the rates of various animal shelters. One such group is the deceitfully named Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), a front group for Philip Morris, Outback Steakhouse, KFC, cattle ranchers, and other animal exploiters that kill millions of animals every year, which is acting not out of compassion but out of greed. These companies are worried about the strides that PETA is making that are changing their industries and compelling them to take animal welfare concerns seriously; they hope to scare people away from supporting PETA by misrepresenting the vital work that we do for animals.

To learn more about CCF, which USA Today said should rename its web site FatforProfit.com, please see the following Web sites:

• http://www.ConsumerDeception.com

• http://www.BermanExposed.org

• http://www.CitizensForEthics.org/node/19131

• http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?articleId=8984

Although PETA does not run an adoption facility (we refer most adoptable animals to well-known shelters with a high rate of public traffic), we have managed to place hundreds of animals in excellent lifelong homes. For many of the animals we do accept, such as those who are severely injured, aggressive, or otherwise unadoptable, we are often a “shelter of last resort,” offering a humane death to animals who would otherwise suffer a slow and painful end.

Please see http://blog.peta2.com/2009/03/why_we_euthanize.html for an idea of the neglect and cruelty to animals we deal with every day. Most of the animals PETA took in and euthanized were not adoptable and, in fact, were taken in precisely because they were not adoptable.

What you haven’t read is that PETA took in more than 10,000 dogs and cats in 2008, 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 euthanized were unsocialized beings who had spent their lives on chains, never known a kind touch, and who had never stepped foot inside a building!

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 cannot 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 (Spay and Neuter Immediately, Please) and ABC (Animal Birth Control), 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 (http://www.PETA.org/feat-abc_campaign_vol.asp). The ABC campaign targets breeders, pet stores, and cat- and dog-breeding mills 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 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. We do not turn any animal away.

While some of the animals we take in are lost companion animals or adoptable strays, many of the animals we receive are broken beings for whom euthanasia is, without a doubt, the most humane option. To cite a local instance, our caseworkers were able to gain custody of a dog who was tied to a 15-pound chain and who was starved until she was severely emaciated. We had to carry her into the emergency clinic because she could barely walk. A vet recommended that the most humane option for her was a peaceful and dignified release from her suffering. We pursued criminal charges against those responsible for her condition, leading to their convictions for cruelty to animals. To learn more, please see http://www.HelpingAnimals.com/f-asiasstory.asp. On another occasion, when a power-line transformer explosion burned a flock of starlings, PETA was the only agency to come to the birds’ aid, offering the animals a painless escape from their suffering.

PETA receives calls every week from people who do not have the inclination or money to provide veterinary care. Many of these people request that we euthanize their animals because they cannot afford to have them euthanized by a vet or because the animals would suffer excessive stress and pain if they were transported. PETA will not turn its back on these animals simply because they might make our “numbers” look bad.

Unlike “no-kill” shelters, PETA does not refuse animals simply because euthanasia is the only humane option for them. Many of the animals we take in are given to us because they have been rejected by other facilities.

As you may know, the best way to save the lives of homeless animals is through spay-and-neuter programs. Our spay-and-neuter clinics focus much of their work in disadvantaged neighborhoods, where we offer free and low-cost surgeries. With $45, a person could either care for a dog in a “no-kill” shelter for about three days or sterilize one animal, preventing the births of at least eight animals from that animal and her offspring in just one year, and preventing the births of as many as 67,000 dogs in six years and 420,000 cats in seven years. For more information about PETA’s efforts to reduce animal overpopulation—, and how you can help promote spaying and neutering in your community, please visit http://www.HelpingAnimals.com/about_snip.asp.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Meet Your Meat

ME: http://www.wvec.com/news/local/stories/wvec_local_060106_peta_trials_update.42e7b3e4.html http://www.consumerfreedom.com/pressRelease_detail.cfm/release/123 http://www.wvec.com/news/local/stories/wvec_local_061705_peta_court.1b0c99cf.html Definitely not a lie.

PETA: Hey there,

The report from North Carolina regarding the placing of animal bodies in a Dumpster by a PETA staff member is deeply upsetting. It is against PETA’s policy to put the bodies of euthanized animals in Dumpsters, as you might imagine, and we are appalled that a member of our staff apparently did that. Despite the fact that we know this woman to be a caring soul and someone who has done much selfless work to help animals, there is no excuse for what happened, and she is no longer working with us.

It is PETA’s policy that no one on our staff is ever to give anyone the impression that animals we accept for euthanasia are being taken for placement, and we do not believe that anyone involved in this case was misled. It is also our policy that the vast majority of animals we accept are only those who are in terrible shape or unadoptable for some reason, such as behavioral problems, injury, sickness, or old age. In other words, we accept the majority of these animals specifically to provide them with a peaceful release through euthanasia, often by request.

Like you, we wish that there were other acceptable options available for every dog and cat who is sick or unwanted, but that’s not the case. The same issues regarding adoptability of injured, sick, or old animals exist everywhere, and “open-admission” shelters, which never turn their backs on any animal—unlike so-called “no-kill” shelters, which turn many animals away—are already unable to cope with the overpopulation of animals. There simply are not enough homes for them. Using Virginia shelters also means that there would be fewer homes for animals already in Virginia adoption facilities.

Because there has also been a great deal of misinformation in the news about this case and its circumstances, we want to provide you with some additional background information—something that the media have not done and that CCF will hide from you. We started working in North Carolina in 2000, after PETA was contacted by a police officer who was distressed by conditions in a county pound. Most animals euthanized at rural North Carolina pounds do not die a humane death. When we step in to humanely euthanize animals—at no cost to the participating shelters—as we did in this instance, our involvement prevents animals from being shot to death with a .22 caliber firearm by a man holding the gun in one hand and the dog in the other, gassed to death in a urine-soaked, rusty metal box, or injected with a paralytic that causes slow suffocation without loss of consciousness. It prevents their suffering for weeks on end from untreated disease and illness, or worse. In some of those places, dogs had drowned in floods and frozen to death in winter.

We are a “shelter of last resort,” offering a humane death to animals who would otherwise suffer a slow and painful end. To learn more about the conditions that led to our involvement in these North Carolina counties and about some of the many improvements we’ve been able to make, please visit http://www.HelpingAnimals.com/f-nc.asp.

Sadly, the pounds we work with in North Carolina also have no adoption programs or hours set aside for adoption. In fact, most of them have no staff on site. PETA has begged for years, through formal proposals and numerous meetings, for officials to allow us to implement an adoption program as part of a larger picture of shelter improvements that would also include a spay/neuter program, a humane education program, 24/7 emergency services, and rabies clinics.

PETA does not run an adoption facility per se—we refer most adoptable animals to known shelters with high public traffic—but we have managed to place hundreds of animals in excellent, lifelong homes the past few years. There is, in fact, a North Carolina dog called Dovi in our office as this is written. Dovi was adopted by a member of our staff and is one of many adopted dogs on site here.

Some might argue that the solution to this crisis of overpopulation of so many unwanted animals is to open sanctuaries. But the reality is that the math doesn’t add up. There is not enough money available to us or anyone to build enough sanctuaries or organize enough animal-adoption programs to keep up with the number of unwanted animals, particularly those animals deemed “undesirable” because of their infirmities, age, or behavior. And redirecting resources into fostering and kenneling unwanted animals does nothing to stop the flow of more and more unwanteds. The source of the problem—trying to stop future unwanteds from being born—is where the money needs to go.

We believe that the spaying and neutering of animals, supported by appropriate local laws, is the single most effective tool in reducing the number of unwanted animals. For that reason, our humane education and outreach programs promote spaying and neutering. Our goal is to create a society where every dog and cat has a loving home. We have always advocated fixing the problems of overpopulation through practical methods, including encouraging people not to patronize pet shops or breeders. This information, however, rarely gets coverage in the media.

As well as paying for sterilization of animals in North Carolina, we run a mobile spay/neuter clinic here in Virginia at least six days a week. It focuses much of its work in disadvantaged neighborhoods, where we offer no-cost to low-cost surgeries and other services such as flea/tick treatments and worming. In the last year alone, we have sterilized more than 6,300 dogs and cats, including feral animals—many free of charge and all others at well below our own cost. Since its inception in 2001, we have sterilized over 50,000 animals in our clinic. Support for this program is much needed, as you can imagine.

PETA has always spoken openly about euthanasia on our Web site and in our publications, and—although we understand that it is upsetting to learn about it—euthanasia is sometimes the kindest option in this imperfect world, and we hope you understand that it is heart-wrenching for those of us at PETA and at shelters across the country who care deeply for animals to have to hold animals in our arms and see their lives slip away because there is nowhere decent for them to go. Euthanasia will continue to be necessary until people actively work to prevent dogs and cats from bringing new litters into the world and as long as people hide their heads in the sand and leave the dirty work to others.

We hope that this has shed some light on what happened, our policies, and our work. Our Web site http://www.HelpingAnimals.com may also be useful for additional information. Thank you for caring enough to ask about this.

Sincerely,

Jackie Wochos

Meet Your Meat"

======== And my original comment was on their 'Why we euthanize" shit Me: "What about all the healthy animals that you sick twits euthanize? Like those poor kittens killed by unlicensed people in the back of the truck?"

I can't even wrap my head around it. I couldn't read everything they said because after the first paragraph it just seemed like senseless bull. I'd have to punch someone.

I did, too. x: I just skimmed over it since they're just repeating themselves over and over and over again. -sighs- =3=';

The poor kitties. :< I have a soft spot for cats. Not to mention one of mine just died. So that would give me extra incentive to punch someone in the face if they did that to me.

lol. automatic response much?

;3; Awe, poor kitty. I know I was heart broken when Nikkie and Toby, two dogs I had and Susie and Petey, my budgies died. -sighs- Animals age too swiftly.

xDD'; Probably is an auto, Bloke, but a funny one at that. I've been eating meat all my life and I have yet to have problems getting it up. There's probably a scientific reason that eating things rich in irons and proteins make it easier to get a boner, but I'm no scientist. -30;'

Onyx, my kitty, was only four or five, and we didn't even notice anything with him was wrong until it was too late. Bladder infection. 3:

Awe. ;3; Toby was about two when we had to put him down. We only had him for about a week, and we found out he had something wrong with his brain and lungs and he started to cough up blood. By the time we found out, it was too late.

Aww. :< It hit me hard too. Since we had him since he was born. His mom has been really upset since it happened. Sluggish and whatnot. We're going to look into getting her a companion.

Poor Kitty. ;3; I think Nikkie hit me worst, though. He was with us for ten years of my life then just kicked the bucket at a really hard time of my life. It was really hard without him there to lick my face and hands when I was down.

Then the school somehow got word of his death and started to say that I killed my own dog and other nasty things just when I didn't need it. <<'; -sighs-

PETA is basically bull all around.

My sister sent them a polite letter about one of their crazy fiascoes and the response she got didn't have anything to do with what she'd asked them. xD She wrote back, "Wow, way to avoid the topic. Good job."

I posted this on another PETA thread, but I'll do it again :P

For the love of god those people are full of it, my bullshit meter exploded before I got through two paragraphs of their email. And the repetition...it makes me want to thwack myself over the head with the nearest heavy textbook, which in this case would be "Animal Behavior" XD

Wow, what jerks at your school, really. I have a cat that I'd had since I was born that died when I was about 12. It was upsetting too. :<

o3o I love that comic. <3 LFG is better, but that one's still ace.

xDD'; The closest book to me would be 'Ancient Egypt: Discovering it's Splendour'. And it's a thick sucker, too. Honestly, I just read the first few lines, since if you just read that, you've read the entire thing.

...do they know how to say anything else, or are they all just robots? GASP I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. When it veryveryvery first started, PETA had good intentions. BUT. Then Viacom took over PETA, and now... well, you've seen what happened. It started with a website, and then transfered over into the real world. :O I'm afraid. hides under bed

All lulzy Viacom slams aside, those messages were bull. I couldn't actually finish reading them, since it was just the same thing over and over again. PETA=not cool, but they think they are. :|

HOSHI- Look out, they might come after you now that you've uncovered the truth! D8! GO WITH THE ALIENS, THEY'RE NOT SO MEAN WITH THEIR ANAL PROBES AS THE GOVERNMENT IS!

-coughs- xD'; I couldn't, either, and I'm surprised they even bothered sicking a bot/brainwashed zit-ridden vegan on my ass for my short little replies.
