PETA Hypocrisy

Here are a few examples of PETA’s lies and hypocrisy….

PETA President Ingrid Newkirk on PETA’s support of violence:

“Let me set the record straight. PETA does not condone or commit violent acts, nor do we threaten anybody with violence.”
–Deseret News, February 12, 2002

Versus:

“Our nonviolent tactics are not as effective. We ask nicely for years and get nothing. Someone makes a threat, and it works.”
–US News and World Report, April 8, 2002

“Arson, property destruction, burglary and theft are ‘acceptable crimes’ when used for the animal cause.”
- Alex Pacheco, Director, PeTA

“Even if animal research produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it.”
- Ingrid Newkirk, September 2001

versus

“I’m an insulin-dependent diabetic. Twice a day I take synthetically manufactured insulin that still contains some animal products — and I have no qualms about it … I’m not going to take the chance of killing myself by not taking insulin. I don’t see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals.”

–Glamour, (PETA Senior Vice President Marybeth Sweetland)

So apparently they are against animal research, even when it results for cures of epidemics that plague the human race… that is until of course they are in need of a cure themselves… . The development of insulin was the direct result of animal research. Via research done on dogs, scientists were able to identify the pancreas as the producer of insulin, and through careful investigation were able to isolate, and then later synthesise, insulin.

“It is a totally rotten business, but sometimes the only kind option for some animals is to put them to sleep forever. “I don’t think a dog living in a cage walking in circles for the rest of its life in a dog prison is a swell thing.” … “It sounds lovely if you’re naïve. We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work.”

–The Virginian-Pilot, August 1, 2000 (Ingrid Newkirk)

So PETA is willing  to kill more than a thousand animals that they’ve accepted for shelter in 1999 and label this as “ethical,” because it frees up more money for other work such as publicity stunts, ads, etc. And before you believe that these animals had to be euthanized, killed because they were unwanted,  Terry Wagoner, president of the Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation (AARF) in Richmond, said a no-kill philosophy is not as unattainable as detractors claim. AARF found homes for 1,062 cats and dogs last year while killing none. Many other animals are written off prematurely, she said.
