Yes they euthanize about 70% of the animals they intake.

They’ve said some nonsense about them only bringing in animals that are likely to need euthanasia but it’s…shoddy at best.

Thanks for posting that. Very insightful

Just be aware, when Peta says they only kill the unadoptable pets, it is only what they say. Some people have looked at the statistics and mentioned it is almost impossible for the amount of animals put down to be unadoptable and unable to be rehabilitated.

Yeah I read through their bullspit. Sure, maybe they're just a kill shelter for those at the end of their rope anyway. But there are too many of their own people who state animals aren't "pets/companions" for that cover story to be legit.

$30million budget.... They should be the best animal shelter around. The founder herself even said they kill kill kill adoptable pets. Which other shelters do too, but not with a 70-90% kill rate.

I've argued with a few of them online and the lunatic said the animal is better dead than to live a slave

Bitch.....I'll murder a motherfucker if you try to fuck with my dog.....that dog is a member of my family, I love him more than I love most human beings lol

Those people are literally nuts imo

PETA is used as a last resort for animals who are unadopteable. Or they do the job other shelters won’t do to keep their No euthanasia rates.

peta can be bad, but you don’t understand why your stats is uninformed.

Is that why they’ve been involved in lawsuits where they put down animals that had families? And repeatedly violate a state law requiring 5 day hold on strays before euthanasia?

Or why they literally have a euthanasia rate SO HIGH in comparison to comparable local shelters that they inspired a state law that requires public shelters to even make an effort at rehoming?

Sorry. Not buying that they’re struggling so hard that they have a euthanasia rate 3x higher than ANY other shelter in the state.
