The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good

To change the way most animal shelters are operated, Nathan Winograd is willing to give his book Redemption—The Myth of Pet Overpopulation and the No Kill Revolution in America, to City Council Members, Board of Supervisors, Mayors, Assemblymen, Senators, County Commissioners, even staff reporters and animal control directors. All they need to do is ask for it. No strings attached. Details

The Bad 

According to recently released public records from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA killed 2,124 pets or 95% of the adoptable pets in its care in 2008. They found homes for only seven pets. This is according to PETA’s own “Animal Record” annual report.

The Ugly

Since 1998, a total of 21,339 dogs and cats have died at the hands of PETA workers.

That is just sickening! Absolutely sickening! But the people and lawmakers are sucking up their propaganda like its sugar!

I am having a terrible dilemma just now that relates to this topic. Family members about whom I care deeply, but with with whom I do not have a close relationship, are sending me propaganda from the HSUS...campaigns like saving the seals and shutting down puppy mills.
I don't want them to hate me forever and yet this is the very organization that would love to see my entire industry, dairy farming, vanish tomorrow. I am at a complete loss as to how to handle this.

unfortunately, the good does not outweigh the bad.

There is simply no excuse for it.

It is hard to muddle your way through what organization truly has dogs best interest in mind without all the senseless killing.

[Lindsay]

That boggles my mind if that is true. Seven? One person with no extra money can save more than seven dogs in a year.

Imagine how many dogs could be saved with their budget of $31 million.
