Animal rights charity PETA killed almost 90 per cent of dogs and cats placed in the care of the shelter at its Virginia headquarters last year, it has been revealed today.

The charity, well-known for attention grabbing publicity campaigns such as the 'I'd rather go naked' anti-fur campaign, euthanized 1,647 cats and dogs last year and only placed 19 in new homes according to the data submitted to the Virginia Department for Agriculture and Consumer Services.

PETA told Mail Online that the animals they take in at the center are 'unadoptable', however 89.4 per cent of pets is much higher than their own approximation that half of animals taken to shelters end up being euthanized.

I donate to local no kill shelters. It takes some time, but most of the animals get homes unless they are terminal or have serious health issues. In the case of animals with troubles, there are volunteers that become foster homes for them. This bullshit from PETA just shows that the are a grandstanding bunch of creeps who are in this for the cash and to hang out with some of the stupidest celebs known to man. They are worried about what people wear and eat, but couldn't give a rats about a live animal.
