PETA now seeks to kill animals not in their care
Apparently it is not enough for PETA to kill 97% of the animals entrusted into their care - -now, they seek to kill animals that they aren't in their care.
The Livingston County (MI) Animal Shelter is considering changing a policy that would give 'pit bulls' that enter into the shelter a chance to be rehomed (just like dogs of all other breeds that enter the shelter). People who in favor of the changes note that the vast majority of pit bulls are not violent and that temperment testing would weed out aggressive dogs of all breeds -- and if a dog is not aggressive, it should have the opportunity to be rehomed.
In their infinite wisdom, PETA has decided to speak out against a policy change.
In a "Special Letter" to the Detroit Daily News, a PETA spokesperson urges the Livingston County Animal control to "continue protection pit bulls by retaining the agency's current policy against adopting them out." The article continues on to talk about how many 'pit bulls' are mistreated and abused and then how "nice families rarely visit a shelter in search of 'pit bulls'." Not that PETA, who adopted out only 8 animals (on a $34 million budget) last year has any real idea of what adoptors want.
Again, PETA continues to act like killing is kindness and that somehow killing the animals protects them from the (apparently) horrible fate of being adopted.
And headline for the article even says that "Rescued pit bulls are not family pets" -- which is completely a not-true statement that doesn't take into account the hundreds of thousands of 'pit bulls' that get adopted from shelters every year that make great family pets, or that 'pit bulls' make it into the shelter for a variety of reasons....even obviously well-cared for family pets that are wearing pink toenail polish.
Every animal that enters the shelter is a living, feeling being. Each one deserves a fair evaluation. And each one deserves the opportunity to go into a loving home -- and not systematically killed as PETA not only does -- but then recommends others to do.
As Gina would say, Why is anyone still listening to PETA?
