PETA scams – & Ingrid Newkirk animal killer

Faces Of Death – PETA & Ingrid Newkirk

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) kills thousands of defenseless pets each year at its Virginia headquarters. Since 1998, PETA has killed 25,840 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens instead of trying to find them forever homes and loving families.

PETA’s own records report for 2010 (filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services) shows that PETA employees killed 94 percent of the dogs and cats in their care last year. During all of 2010, PETA found adoptive homes for just 44 pets. In contrast to this the Norfolk SPCA, in the same city as Peta, euthanized 1% of the animals they took in. The Virginia Beach SPCA, not far from PETA’s Norfolk headquarters, manages to adopt out the majority of the animals in its care. And it does it on an extremely tight budget. Why would PETA, a supposed “animal rights” group, secretly kill so many animals at its headquarters? The answer is simple and disgusting: Killing adoptable cats and dogs—and storing the bodies in a walk-in freezer until they can be cremated – requires far less money and effort than caring for them until they are adopted.

PETA has a $33 million annual budget. But instead of investing in the lives of the thousands animals in its care, the group spends millions on media campaigns telling Americans that eating meat, drinking milk, fishing, hunting, wearing leather shoes, and benefiting from medical research performed on lab rats are all “unethical.”And yet PETA has no problem with the unethical practice of killing over 94 percent of the animals in their care.

Years of public outrage hasn’t convinced PETA to eliminate its pet killing program. Now the death toll of animals in PETA’s care has reached just short of 26,000, including 2,200 pets in 2010.

 

Who is the person behind this slaughter house? Her name is Ingrid Newkirk and she is, in my opinion, the most disgusting, unethical and evil person of them all. In 2003 it was learned for the first time that Ingrid Newkirk has another face. During the 1970’s her chosen profession was “dog catcher” and killer. Newkirk describes her fondness for killing in her own words: “I’d go to work early, before anyone got there, and I would just kill the animals myself…I must have killed a thousand of them, sometimes dozens every day.”She was so good at it she rose through the ranks to become director of District of Columbia’s high-kill pound where she reigned for some years. There, under her rule, untold thousands more died.
Newkirk has never stopped killing. Not only is she non- apologetic about her murky past, she quietly continues her murderous ways. She has turned PETA’s Norfolk, Virginia headquarters into her own personal killing field. There she has taken in more than 23,823 puppies, kittens, dogs and cats since 1998 and executed 25,840 of them. This does not include wild animals. In 2010 Newkirk killed 94% of her defenseless captives and adopted only 2% – a ratio far worse than almost any pound in the country.

Why do those in our government who say they are for the protection of animals and those in the animal protection movement not only tolerate this woman but also defend her? Nathan Winograd, the author of “Redemption:The Myth of Pet Overpopulation and the No Kill Revolution in America” and a former prosecuting attorney wrote:
“Engrave this in stone: As soon as Newkirk and her pro-killing cultish devotees are gone, PETA will immediately, completely, and without reservation embrace the No Kill philosophy and become one of its leading champions. When that happens; when her actions are thoroughly and completely seen by everyone for what they truly are; when she is condemned and finally, finally, thankfully, finally, we don’t have to hold our breath, clench our teeth, shake with rage, or cry at the thought of what PETA did to those poor animals, we will all be left wondering just what took us so damned long to rise up and stop this villain in our midst.”

 

For those who support PETA and those who entrust the care of their animals to PETA, you are not only helping and supporting the slaughter or your own pet, but you are supporting the slaughter of many other defenseless animals as well. If you want to help homeless animals then support your local shelter or Rescue Group. Ask them exactly how they will use the money. Unlike PETA, they will talk to you and answer your questions and won’t secretly go back to killing animals once you leave.

 

On a personal note, I have said many times now and will say again in closing – The next time a or Ingrid, or anyone else at PETA, gets the urge to euthanize, I would suggest they put the needle in their own arms and do the animal community a huge favor.
