Hi, everyone, this page is dedicated to the absolute hypocrisy of the group that likes to call itself “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals”, despite the fact that there really is nothing very ethical about them at all. This radical animal rights organization pulls in around $30 million dollars every year, making it the richest animal rights group in the world next to the HSUS. It’s run by Ingrid Newkirk, the same British-born, self-proclaimed press slut who said, “A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.”
Let me make it clear that the purpose of this particular page is not to convince you why the concepts of veganism, animal rights, and speciesism are inherently wrong. Although I do in fact believe that all of those things are wrong, nonexistant, impossible ideas that are only espoused by those who have an extremely immature and unrealistically anthropomorphized (i.e. cartoonish) view of animals and nature, I already have several other pages on this site detailing my beliefs on that already. The sole purpose of this page is to show why, even if you are a hardcore vegan animal rights activist who believes that you are doing the ultimate good by working to combat speciesism and liberate animals and nothing will ever change your mind about that, you should not support PeTA in any way whatsoever, especially not monetarily. Because they don’t practice what they preach - PeTA does in fact kills animals on a regular basis. And the undeniable proof of that has been thoroughly exposed for everyone to see and is unmistakable as hypocrisy no matter which side of the fence you like to sit on when it comes to the issues of animal rights, animal welfare, animal usage, animal abuse, and ultimately, human rights, which are invariably impacted by every single decision that is made about all of the former listings.
The simple truth is that the vast majority of the animals that PeTA takes in actually wind up getting euthanized by them, i.e., they get put to death. Killed. MURDERED! And I’m not just talking about a few hundred sickly animals or ones that are injured so badly that they can’t be saved. I’m talking about thousands upon thousands of healthy, friendly, lovable, and perfectly adoptable dogs and cats, puppies and kittens. Why do they do it? There are two reasons: 1) They don’t want to spend the money or the time that it takes to keep them alive long enough to find good homes for them and 2) They despise all domesticated animals because they are not a natural species that can be let loose into the wild without causing complications for the ecosystem and thus they must rely on humans for their care. That’s right. PeTA wants all puppies and kittens to DIE and to go EXTINCT. This is why they are so aggressive about spaying and neutering programs, but even that is not good enough for them. They actually euthanize as many domestic animals as they possibly can simply because they don’t want them existing on the earth whatsoever. They would rather put them to sleep before anything else just because don’t want people taking care of animals or having them as pets and the only viable alternative to that is totally annihilating all the domestic breeds that are currently living. They don’t even bother to run any shelters or refuges for abandoned pets and strays to let them live out the rest of their lives. No! That would cost them money that they aren’t willing to spend for that purpose. They would rather just kill them instead and be done with it so they can use the money for their favorite pastime instead, which is not helping animals, but degrading people under the guise of animal rights.
I am not lying. If you think I am, just wait until you see the jaw-dropping proof with your very own eyes. Even I was surprised by it! Let it be known that I have always been against animal rights, since the very first day that I found out about it when I was only about 10 years old. I am now going on 30 and I have always hated PeTA the most of all the AR groups that I have ever studied because of their exceptionally extreme and uncompromising position on it as compared to the rest. But as much as I have despised them over the past couple of decades, even I never truly expected to see this kind of thing come out of them. And I feel like I have seen a lot of hypocrisy in my time, from many different kinds of people, from racists, homophobes, sexist people of both genders, and religious extremists, intolerant people from all spectrums of intolerance, but wow...this, to me, this really is the highest level of hypocricy that I have ever seen in my life as far as the sheer perspective of its respective magnitude is concerned. And, as much as I despise hypocricy more than anything else in the world, oddly enough, I do have to be somewhat grateful for it, at least in this particular case. Because at least it can be said that PeTA's facade of false kindness is finally starting to wear off to the point where everyone, no matter how naive they might happen to be, can really see their true colors once and for all, and won't be able to deny the truth any longer, not about them at least. And I think that eventually, this could very well wind up being the crack in their well of denial that ultimately brings the damn thing crashing down around their ears and the whole animal rights movement will subsequently become a thing of the past in practically no time afterwards. All thanks to PeTA! I just hope that it happens sooner than later. Thus my reason for composing this little webpage, to help nudge this vital process along in my own meager way, because every little bit counts!
Do you find this hard to believe? That PeTA kills animals? Don't feel bad if so, lots of people do because it goes against everything that they are supposed to stand for. People find it hard to believe that to date, since 1998, PeTA has killed about 20,000 animals - dogs, cats, and other types of companion animals, for no good reason at all, and certainly none that marries well with their extreme position on animal rights, at least not as they allow the public to perceive it. Think about it, people, that’s more than five animals per day! That's way more than any typical meat-eater kills in one day just by eating meat! PeTA has put to death better than 90% of all the animals that they have ever taken in over the past five years! Can you believe that? You better because it is 100% true. These same people who have held violent protests outside of animal shelters for having too high of kill rates actually have the most horrendous kill rate of any animal shelter in the entire US, maybe even the world. Now if that’s not hypocrisy, then what the fuck is? Why does PeTA think that it is ok for them to harass other people who have way less money than them for doing the exact same thing that they themselves are doing on an even greater scale than anyone else who regularly deals with homeless companion animals, whether it’s a job that they actually get paid for or something that they freely volunteer their time to do simply because they care? Apparently the people at PeTA think that they are the only ones in the entire world who are qualified to make any decisions regarding animals! Even though most of the time, they don’t even have so much as a valid vet’s license under their belts. Most of them don't even know the first thing about animals in the real world and how to properly care for them because all they do tend to have is visions of Disney movie characters dancing in their heads!
The most ironic part about all of this is the fact that the vast majority of PeTA’s budget is provided to them by donations that are given by pet-lovers who honestly believe that their money is going to help care for homeless pets and get them adopted, not get them killed and completely wiped off the face of the planet by some heartless, money-grubbing sickos with a twisted anti-pet ideology. But that is exactly what is happening. PeTA actually has the nerve to paste photos of cute puppies and kittens on their website for the specific purpose of luring gullible people into believing that they are a legitimate, caring animal welfare group that exists solely for the purpose of funneling the public's money to abused and neglected animals that need our help when in actuality they HATE all puppies and kittens and want them ALL to be killed as soon as possible, and they will use the vast resources at their disposal to make sure that happens on as large of a scale as they possibly can. And they KNOW that they are being deceptive! It's no accident. It's all part of their plan for "total animal liberation", as they call it, because domesticated animals CANNOT be liberated and therefore they MUST be taken out of the equation, one way or another, in order to achieve their desired goal. But there is not enough people in the world who actually think enough like they do in order to provide the amount of funds that are needed to carry out the necessary steps involved in completing this quest. So, in a cold and calculating move, they deliberately deceive the public and mooch off of their own enemies in order to try and get what they want, even though they know very well that much of that money that they take in comes directly from people who work in animal-related industries that they are vehemently opposed to, people who get paid to kill animals or do other things to them that are not in line with what PeTA believes is morally acceptable. They have absolutely no scruples whatsoever because they honestly believe that any means, no matter how underhanded or dirty it actually is, is completely justified in the end because it is going for what they perceive as the "greater good". Their mentality is absolutely no different than that of any typical cult, such as Scientology, for example, and even some sects of Christianity, which are notorious for having dubious policies that condone devious behavior that they know and even admit is wrong for their own advancement in a society that is generally unreceptive to them and unyielding to their demands.
It's funny, too, because they love comparing their movement to the civil rights movement of blacks in America. They do it all the time. But to what extent? Only a certain one, as usual, they wouldn't dare to go all the way with it. Because what about all the newly freed slaves who didn't want to leave their masters because they were afraid of trying to make it on their own in a still highly prejudiced society? Does PeTA try to draw the parallel that they should be drawing, if everything else they say is true, between those people who remained dependant on their former masters for the rest of their lives even after the abolition of slavery went into effect and domestic animals that also must remain dependant on theirs regardless of the advancements made by the animal liberation movement? Do they think that those people should have been euthanized in order to hasten the advancement of civil rights just as they believe that it is ok to euthanize domestic animals for the cause of animal liberation? Hmm, somehow I doubt that. But then again, I could be wrong. I would love to hear their response to that one. Because on one hand, if they refuse to agree with that comparison then they are even bigger hypocrites than ever, but on the other hand, if they do agree with it then they are even bigger monsters for it. Basically, they are screwed either way!
You may be wondering, how do I know all of this? How did it get found out? You see, unfortunately, PeTA still enjoys the tax-exemption status of being considered a valid “charity” by the government, but on the other hand this also comes with an interesting drawback for them – all of their tax papers are a matter of public record, as is required by the law for all charitable organizations that receive tax-deductible donations. That way we get to see exactly what they are spending their money on whether they like it or not. The big tip-off in this case was the giant walk-in freezer that PeTA paid over nine grand for. The question was, why in the world would an animal rights organization comprised wholly of dedicated vegans need such a thing? So people started digging for the answer. They found out that the one and only purpose that such a freezer exists for is the cold storage of many dead carcasses. And that is exactly what they did in fact use it for. At least they were supposed to...
Back in 2005, a couple named Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook, two PeTA employees, were arrested for killing over 30 animals and dumping their corpses in a garbage bin behind a grocery store in North Carolina. How did they get the animals, you might ask? They were NOT starving, disease ridden strays that they just picked up off the street, oh no. What they did was they actually drove an official PeTA-owned van around to local animal shelters and hospitals and picked the animals up from the staff members of these places on the false pretense that they were going to take them all back to Norfolk, Virginia, back to the PeTA headquarters, where PeTA would use its vast monetary resources to ensure that they were well cared for and protected until they could be provided with good permanent homes with loving animal guardians. They actually told bold-faced lies straight to the faces of real animal-loving people in order to get their filthy murdering hands on their innocent animals just so that they could kill them. Because just minutes after driving the van, which subsequently came to be known as their "death van", away from the establishments where they had received the animals, they pulled over to the side of the road and proceeded to inject them with syringes full of lethal poison that they had stored in a tackle-box designed to hold fishing gear, of all things, which came to be known as their "death kit". Then they stuffed all the dead bodies into plastic trash bags and literally threw them into a garbage dumpster that was located directly behind a grocery store. And they didn’t just do this one time, either. Witnesses testified that they saw the same couple in the same van slinging several garbage bags full of dozens of dead animals into the same dumpster a total of nine times! And come to find out, the perpetrators of this crime didn’t even so much as have a license to legally perform euthanasia on any animals whatsoever. So there is no telling how much those poor animals were made to suffer by those ignorant amateurs. And even worse is the fact that most of the animal victims in this case were in fine condition at the time they were taken and killed by these sick perverts, with several of them being very young, very cute, little baby puppies and kittens that could have very easily found loving homes. So there was absolutely no reason at all for them to be put down. And then the fuckheads had the gall to actually dump loads of the dead bodies in someone else’s garbage can even though, as a PeTA manager testified later in their trial, under oath, their employees had been always instructed to deposit all of the dead animals that they killed in the freezer that is located inside the official PeTA headquarters building for that specific purpose. Which proves that PeTA’s own management does in fact condone the in-house practice of euthanasia, if not the illegal dumping of the resulting corpses! But in that case, why didn't they at least follow their orders to properly dispose of the bodies so they wouldn't have raised the suspicions of the locals? I guess they were stupid and they didn't want their van getting stunk up on the drive back to Norfolk? Who fucking knows? None of it makes any goddamn sense anyway. I strongly suspect that they got off on the whole thing and did it just for fun.
What's PeTA’s official response to this atrocity? Here are some direct quotes from the infamous Ingrid Newkirk herself that sum up her whole stance on it very neatly:
"We are not in the home-finding business...our service is to provide a peaceful and painless death to animals who no one wants."
"Let us allow the dog to disappear from our brick and concrete jungles, from our firesides, from the leather nooses and chains by which we enslave it."
"The cat, like the dog, must disappear."
"We should cut the domestic cat free by neutering until our pathetic version of the cat ceases to exist."
"We do not advocate 'right to life' for animals."
"Euthanasia is the kindest gift to a dog or cat unwanted and unloved."
“Sometimes the only kind option for some animals is to put them to sleep forever.”
"There is no hidden agenda. Our goal is total animal liberation."
"Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment."
“A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.”
"Thinkers may prepare revolutions, but bandits must carry them out.”
“Remember this, rights movements never go away. They always get stronger, they always attract more people, and there is no point whatsoever in wasting your time fighting them, because we will grow, and we will win, and that’s a fact!”
Her attitude is completely totalitarian in nature – only she and her specially appointed band of cronies who get to wear the PeTA badge of honor for being the veganest vegans in vegandom have the right to mess with animals. She has even admitted, get this, to having killed at least a thousand animals herself, with her own hands, sometimes dozens of them a day, before she became the president of PeTA, because she was so terrified that no one else would be willing or able to do it correctly. I shit you not.
Do you understand what all this means? In order to achieve “total animal liberation”, all domestic breeds must be annihilated, because domestic breeds cannot be liberated, they cannot be set free into the wild and be allowed to live independently from humans since most of them will suffer and die excruciating deaths at the hands of nature and the ones that do manage to survive as feral animals will disrupt the ecosystems and endanger wild animal species, and they know this all to well. The only way that animal liberation can actually come about is if all domestic breeds are destroyed so that the only animal species left on the planet are the truly wild ones. This is in addition to the fact that PeTA is totally against all medical research that requires animal subjects, no matter how many human lives are saved by it, no matter how much human suffering is alleviated by it, and they don’t even believe in so much as allowing blind people to own seeing-eye dogs. That is the truth, straight from the horse’s own mouth. They do not believe that any human beings (outside of their own tight little circle, that is) should be allowed to have any contact with any animals whatsoever, whether it is positive or negative for either the animals themselves or the people whose very lives depend on them. And, to them, actively killing domestic animals themselves is a perfectly viable way to help bring their warped vision of the New World Order into reality. They really don’t care if the animals are wanted or loved or not, they believe that it should become a felony for any person to have a pet of any kind, even a fish!
Also, besides killing animals, PeTA spends the rest of its money on silly things like gaudy costumes, insulting billboard ads, and other distasteful gimmicks featuring sleazy celebrities like silicon slut Pamela Anderson, as well as spending tens of thousands of dollars for more sinister things such as defending convicted animal rights extremists and eco-terrorists in court. They also pay the same criminals, who openly equate themselves with historical figures such as Martian Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, and even Jesus, to actually give classes in public schools for the purpose of indoctrinating young students to join the Animal Liberation Front and show them how to make pipe bombs and molotov cocktails for use against law-abiding omnivores such as medical researchers, scientists, farmers, butchers, and hunters. That’s what all their money goes for in the end, that which doesn’t wind up directly in the pocketbook of Ingrid Newkirk herself, mind you, so that she can continue to afford living her cushy vegan lifestyle behind the scenes (assuming that she actually is a true vegan and not just putting up appearances), just like some kind of exalted British queen who has come to conquer us heathenish Americans. Because that’s exactly how she acts and gets treated by all her dimwitted anti-American followers who practically worship her as the very Godess of Veganism and are openly opposed to democracy. They would actually rather have our government switch to communism or socialism instead simply because they know that animal rights law will never fly in a democratic society and they will do anything to get it passed, even if it means totally destroying our Constitution and Bill of Rights altogether. In fact, I am sure that there is nothing else in this world that would make that haughty British bitch any happier than to see that come to pass.
If you are still skeptical about any of this then please do yourself a favor and go to petakillsanimals.com to view the actual crime-scene photos of the aforementioned incident that took place in North Carolina, as well as the official government documents that were made public in order to expose PeTA’s formerly hidden rate of euthanasia and dubious spending practices.

I also highly recommend the special episode of the Penn and Teller show called “Bullshit” that covered PeTA’s hypocrisy in the very straightforward, no-holds-barred, non-PC kind of way that I feel is completely warranted when dealing with this issue. You can watch it on YouTube right here: Bullshit-Peta
One other thing that I want to add before I close this article is that I personally do NOT oppose the euthanasia of animals that are indeed suffering when there is nothing else that can be done to help them. I am NOT criticizing PeTA for believing that such a practice is acceptable. In other words, I do NOT feel that euthanasia is unethical in most cases when it is employed by people who truly want to end the suffering of an animal that cannot be properly cared for by anyone. What IS unethical, however, is deliberately taking healthy, adoptable animals from other people under false pretenses by LYING to them and then killing the animals yourself for absolutely no good reason, especially when you belong to a multi-million dollar organization that is supposed to be dedicated to “animal rights” and regularly holds violent protests against low-budget animal shelters for doing the exact same thing. And then not even being licensed to do it and dumping the bodies in illegal locations so that other people are forced to clean up the mess for you. All while leeching money off of pet owners who are tricked into believing that your goal is to save pets instead of utterly destroying them. That just utterly sickens me. Believe it or not, and I admit that this might sound a bit crazy, but I actually think that I hate PeTA more than any other organization in the whole world right now, even more than I hate the KKK, for exmaple, although I really do hate them as well, because I feel that at this point in time, PeTA actually poses a bigger threat to a greater number of people in the world, people of all races as well as the animals that we cherish the most, our pets, than the KKK does to whatever specific races of people that they still claim to discriminate against even though they have been suppressed to the point of being nothing more than a small group of fringe extremists that no longer poses a serious threat to society, a much-deserved status for them that is the next best thing to complete nonexistance. But by now, unfortunately, PeTA has somehow managed to escape that status for the time being so that they really are a force to be reckoned with and one that must be dealt with by strong-minded people who are not afraid to back down from what they know is right. And I think that PeTA's rise to power is something that we need to turn around ASAP before we find ourselves with another Holocaust on our hands, where people will be getting killed on a regular basis for the sake of animal rights.
