one case of a shithead landlord calling them to remove a pet without a collar from the property turned into thousands of informed internet users who actually think PETA kidnaps pets because they're crazy radical anti-pet activists who think no animal should ever be owned, and if you try to tell them that this is a blatant lie spread by a public relations firm employed by the meat industry you're accused of being brainwashed (by who? how?)
Is it not true that their shelters have an absurdly high kill rate and that their founder believed that "pets" are better off dead then domesticated? These are the things I was told and would like them corrected if they are wrong.
PETA intentionally bring in suffering animals that are so sick or wounded they cannot be treated. Humane euthanasia is the only option for these animals.
They also collect such animals from shelters that are no kill, which inflates the statistics further.
