People Excelling at Terminating Animals


PETA Killed 95 Percent of Adoptable Pets in its Care During 2008.

Not counting the pets PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 90 percent of the animals it took in during the last five years. And its angel-of-death pattern shows no sign of changing.
