More people need to adopt cats and dogs.
We did our part, we have 13 cats here. Neutering and spaying sounds like a bad thing to do, but animals being born to die because they have no home is worse.

Must have been a tough decision for them, and they made a choice.

Adopt a pet, another cat or a dog wouldn't be too bad. (no more cats for me though)

Killing most shelter animals isn't something I see as cruel or inhumane. It's reality and unless people want to see animals we used to think of as fuzzy pets, over running the place as feral beasts ...population needs controlled.

What gets my goat about PETA is the fact they are hypocritical as all get out about it. They just won't SAY they do the realistic things....but they sure do, like everyone else. Physics and Math leave no other choice until people stop breeding animals like they're mass producing little toys and giving them away to each other with about as much thought or consideration for life spans and responsibility involved.

My two cents...

I believe the real problem here is ignorance. The animals are innocent victims to human ignorance. People choose to have pets and do not have them neutered and even dump the offspring - sometimes in woeful circumstances.

How do we solve the problem? Organisations like PETA step in and yes they are a money making business - just like every other business. They make money and they accept stray/unwanted/abandoned animals. Who else is going to take care of the animals?

Of course PETA is going to euthanise animals they cannot care for every single stray/unwanted/abandoned animal. It is a sad day when thousands of animals have to die because they had no home in which to belong - blaming PETA is just misplaced anger - the real problem is uncaring humans who dump animals and who take on the responsibility of an animal without having them neutered.

All my pets are rescues, dumped in circumstances I would rather not discuss. I pose this question - if PETA did not exist what would have become of all the animals they euthanised? What kind of life would they have had and what kind of death - slow painful starvation perhaps?

Society is messed up and we need to educate people - how we achieve that - I am not sure but being angry at PETA without discussing solutions is just a dead end.

Much Peace...to every stray/unwanted/abandoned animal...

We have 4 cats two dogs all neutered or spayed and a fruit squirrel from Nicaragua they all get along fine.

Have you actually ever tried to adopt an animal from these people?

I have never gone through PETA but I have adopted through SPCA once and the Humane Society once. They have a more invasive background check to get a dog than I had to get my CCW permit or a home loan.

Interviews with neighbors, interviews with your vet (if you have other pets) interviews with you, home visits, financial statements etc. No wonder they don't "home" (m)any.

I adopted through them about 10-15 years ago it was bad then; I tried again a couple years ago and it had gotten even more invasive. They added some BS about continued unannounced home visits (they actually called it an inspection) after the animal was adopted…

I told them flat out - I want to help out and adopt an unwanted pet not enter into a business partnership – dick off…

Sad really.

So, I just hit the local pound and a short questionnaire and $140.00 later ( $100.00 for spay and shots – the actual cost with a vet receipt and $40.00 “donation/adoption fee to keep the place in pet food) they are just happy to have found the dog a home. Me too – good dog.

I heard Alex Jones say and yeah whatever you think about him I know he's honorable that his wife was working with the top PETA administrators and that they would kill animals for fun because they are basically evil and get off on the suffering. I for one believe it because experience in life has taught me that the world is full of crazy contradictions.

i seriously doubt the validity of any of this
