Time to Kill the Kittens

Imagine going to work every day, and every hour on the hour, you have to go downstairs and put a dog or a cat to sleep. Every hour on the hour, every day you work, 5 days per week, for 50 weeks. Kitten after puppy, after kitten. Oh, lots of families may want to adopt them, but your job is not to put animals into adoptive homes, but to keep cranking out little furry corpses. At the end of the year, you have a giant mound of dead pets. About 2,200 of them.

Sound gruesome? Well don’t bother calling PETA, because its PETA that’s doing it. They just released 2008’s statistics on how many animals they took in and how many got adopted. In total, 2,216 animals were given to PETA so they animals could be adopted into a new home. Only 7 left the facility in Norfolk VA alive. The rest were exterminated because PETA didn’t think other humans could treat them well enough.

Well at least they haven’t been caught throwing away the carcasses in grocery store dumpsters like the did a couple of years ago. PetaKillsAnimals has the full details.
