According to the Center for Consumer Freedom, new information has arisen suggesting that the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals kills thousands of adoptable pets.


The CCF has fired another salvo against the animal rights group. A recent report from the CCF previously highlighted PETA’s record of killing thousands of animals while “hypocritically engaging in protests worldwide against animal cruelty.”


In the latest report, public records obtained by the CCF from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services paint a grisly picture. According to the CCF review, in 2008, of the 2,216 adoptable animals PETA took into custody, only seven actually were adopted. A shocking 2,124 were killed. That amounted to a 95.8% kill rate.


The CCF has created a new website highlighting the story, “PETA Kills Animals.” The CCF also says it seeks to tap into public anger over PETA’s  animal rights’ agenda by pushing for the group to lose its tax exempt status.

This effort includes an online petition to be forwarded to the Internal Revenue Service Commissioner that urges PETA’s tax exempt status be revoked.


The petition states,


“…by repeatedly and continuously giving financial support to individuals and organizations devoted to domestic terrorism, PETA has demonstrated that it is incapable of conducting itself in a manner expected of nonprofit groups receiving federal tax subsidies.”
