Documents: **** ***** more than 95 percent of pets in its care
Documents published online this month show that People for the Ethical Treatment of *******, an organization known for its uncompromising ******-rights positions, ****** more than 95 percent of the pets in its care in 2011.
The documents, obtained from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, were published online by the Center for Consumer Freedom, a non-profit organization that runs online campaigns targeting groups that antagonize food producers.
Fifteen years’ worth of similar records show that since 1998 **** has ****** more than 27,000 ******* at its headquarters in Norfolk, VA.
In a February 16 statement, the Center said **** ****** 1,911 cats and dogs last year, finding homes for only 24 pets.
“**** hasn’t slowed down its slaughterhouse operation,” said Rick Berman, CCF’s executive director. “It appears **** is more concerned with funding its media and advertising antics than finding suitable homes for these dogs and cats.”
In a statement, Berman added that **** has a $37 million dollar annual budget.
His organization runs PETAkillsAnimals.com, which reports that in 2010 a resident of Virginia called **** and asked if there was an ****** shelter at the group’s headquarters. **** responded that there was not.
