Just read an article in the latest Whole Dog Journal called “What’s Wrong with “No-Kill” by Pat Miller. Talk about spouting the HSUS/PETA party lines, I can’t begin to describe my disappointment in the one-sided view represented there.

“Usually when something seems too good to be true, it is. Such is the case with the as-yet empty promise of “no-kill.”

I did write editorial department and suggested they provide a balanced view by interviewing Nathan Winograd, Christie and Gina.

Well, as Wayne says, when people criticize the HSUS it’s because they are afraid of how successful they are.

So, if Daffy is criticizing Nathan, it must be because she knows he’s right and he’s gaining a lot of support for his No Kill Equation.

So yes, Carol is correct, let’s keep the pressure on, keep writing LTEs every time Peta is quoted on an animal welfare issue, etc. I don’t really care if the papers run my letters because I know they have to read them *wink*.

Time and time again, when I speak to well meaning people who really DO want to support animals, I hear that they send donations to PeTA. When they’re informed of the reality of PeTA (no shelters, pro death, high salaries, no interest in hands on welfare work), they respond by saying “Well, I wish I’d known that before I wrote the check”.

Look at the “Peta supporters” who were protesting about the Vick dogs, and were shocked to learn from the Bad Rap crew stunned to learn that Peta actually WANTED the Vick dogs put to death.

We need to keep spreading the word that PeTA lies, plain and simple, and that PeTa has a clear agenda that has NOTHING to do with saving domestic pets. Every time we convince one more person to write that check to an actual, grass roots No Kill group instead of PeTa, it’s another win in our column.

Why is anyone listening to PETA ? I don’t know either is it the darn celebrity endorsements ? Is or has there been a “celebrity” who is NOT a peta peanut ? maybe we need some non-peta celeb’s to spread the word ?

There is a PETA special on HBO this month. I couldn’t watch more than a few minutes of it. I happened to tune in when there was a Rotti with heartworm in their office and the owner didn’t want to treat it, so they killed the dog. Changed that channel real quick.

“Why is anyone still listening to PETA?”

Really good question, and one I find myself asking also.

The mainstream media has failed to question PeTA in any serious manner. Even “watch dogs” like Bill O’Reilly who rant constantly that liberal bias has given Obama a pass in the papers still have people from PeTA on all the time as “experts” on almost any issue dealing with animals.

O’Reilly’s only criticism of PeTA is their use of sexually suggestive advertising. Sorry Bill, but a little skin never hurt anyone, which can not be said for PeTA and their crusade to liberate pets by killing them.
