In 2009, PETA euthanized 2,301 dogs and cats -- 97 percent of those brought in -- and adopted only eight, according to Virginia state figures. A total of 681 dogs, 1620 cats and 51 other companion animals. Why? According to Daphna Nachminovitch, vice president of cruelty investigations at PETA, money can’t buy a good home.
In 1998 PETA was at 14.10% adoption, by 2009 they are at 0.34% adoption.
PETA's public spokesperson admitted last year, on the record, they receive enough donations to keep the majority of their rescued animals alive, but choose not to. Instead spending their funds on stuff like high-end fashion tickets so their members can yell and splash red paint on the models or on winning dates with celebrities so that they can put them on the spot about wearing fur.
