Animal rights group PETA may go to extreme lengths to save animals from the slaughterhouse but the Virginia-based organization’s animal shelter killed nearly 2,000 stray cats and dogs at its shelter in 2013.
The Center for Consumer Freedom released its annual review of PETA’s Norfolk shelter and it shows a surprising 82 percent euthanization rate.
Despite outcries from some fellow animal activists, PETA has declined to change its policies since 1998. Since that year, the shelter has put down over 31,000 animals, most of which it insists are injured or unadoptable.
These numbers come from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), which requires such annual disclosures.
In 2013, PETA killed 1,792 cats and dogs, an average of 5 per day. The 1,792 figure represents 82 percent of all animals PETA took into its shelter throughout the year.
