Newsweek: PETA has killed “tens of thousands of animals”

By Nathan J. Winograd | March 4, 2021March 4, 2021 by Nathan J. Winograd

Unfortunately, the magazine accepted their excuse, overlooking the real reasons why Newsweek has a recurring feature they call “Fact Check” in which they evaluate various claims circulating on social media, ostensibly to determine whether those claims are true. The magazine recently evaluated the claim that PETA kills thousands of animals every year. There is no denying that PETA has killed over 40,000 animals. Those records come from PETA itself which it is required to report…

The Deadly Predictability of PETA

By Nathan J. Winograd | February 15, 2021February 15, 2021 by Nathan J. Winograd

Every February — as surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west — you can be certain that the following events will occur: The Virginia Department of Agriculture will release PETA’s statistics for the prior year and, while communities across Virginia and the country will have reported placement rates as high as 99%, PETA will once again have needlessly killed the majority of animals it took in. PETA will attempt…

PETA continues to kill thousands yearly

By Nathan J. Winograd | February 8, 2021February 8, 2021 by Nathan J. Winograd

The Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services, which oversees animal “shelters” in the state, released PETA statistics for 2020. While communities across Virginia and the country are reporting placement rates that are higher than ever —-Š in some cases, the highest in their history (as high as 99% in municipal shelters) and, given the demand for animals as a result of the pandemic, many are even finding themselves empty for the first time in…

Study: People Think Well Known Means Effective, Except for PETA

By Nathan J. Winograd | March 25, 2020March 25, 2020 by Nathan J. Winograd

Americans have a soft spot for animals and are not very discerning when it comes to which animal groups to support. In fact, according to a new study, they falsely equate having heard of a group with it being effective. In other words, because most Americans have heard of the ASPCA or the Humane Society of the United States, they wrongly also believe those groups are on the front lines leading and effecting positive change…

PETA Advocates for Continued Killing of “Pit Bulls” in Ontario

By Nathan J. Winograd | March 13, 2020March 13, 2020 by Nathan J. Winograd

PETA has written members of the Ontario, Canada, legislature to tell them NOT to consider relaxing what they called “commonsense restrictions on pit bull in Ontario,” saying “These breeds should be regulated in the same way in which other dangerous species, like leopards, are regulated.” What are these restrictions and regulations? Ontario has banned dogs identified as “pit bulls” and exterminated thousands of dogs and puppies for how they look. And sometimes, these former…

PETA Death Toll Surpasses 40,000

By Nathan J. Winograd | February 3, 2020February 3, 2020 by Nathan J. Winograd

One of PETA’s 40,854 known victims. The Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services, which oversees animal “shelters” in the state, just released PETA statistics for 2019. While communities across Virginia and the country are reporting placement rates that are higher than ever – in some cases, the highest in their history (as high as 99% in municipal shelters) – PETA continues to act as the functional equivalent of a slaughterhouse. In 2019, PETA put…

VA Legislation Seeks to Put PETA & Others Out of Killing Business

By Nathan J. Winograd | January 15, 2020January 15, 2020 by Nathan J. Winograd

New legislation introduced in Virginia once again seeks to put PETA and other pet slaughterhouses in the state out of the killing business. SB 304 would require “shelters” in Virginia to maintain a minimum 50% placement rate or lose their ability to “purchase, possess, or administer” sodium pentobarbital, the barbiturate PETA and others use to kill animals. PETA’s killing has claimed 39,276 known victims, including healthy puppies and kittens, often killed within minutes without ever…

A Complete and Utter Rout as PETA’s Lawsuit Collapses

By Nathan J. Winograd | December 18, 2019December 19, 2019 by Nathan J. Winograd

For the past several days, I have been posting stories of our movement’s success, including groundbreaking accomplishments in 2019 and groundbreaking developments for the year to come. Here’s even more good news, not just for animals, but for myself and other people who have worked to expose the grisly truth about PETA and the thousands of healthy animals they kill every year. Maya was taken from her home and illegally killed by PETA representatives.…

“Is PETA Seeding Colleges?”

By Nathan J. Winograd | September 18, 2019September 18, 2019 by Nathan J. Winograd

Earlier this week, the student-run Kansas State University newspaper published an article proclaiming support for pounds that kill and questioning the ethics of No Kill shelters. It used the very same debunked excuses for killing that PETA routinely uses: open admission shelters can’t be No Kill (they can and there are many that are), everyone who works at a pound loves animals (they don’t all love animals), and No Kill equals hoarding (it doesn’t). It…

Your Donation to PETA Was Used to Kill Healthy Kittens

By Nathan J. Winograd | May 6, 2019May 6, 2019 by Nathan J. Winograd

Among the dead are the young and healthy kittens pictured above. Donations to PETA are being used to round-up healthy kittens to be killed. Norfolk, VA, taxpayers subsidize the effort, paying for the barbiturates used to poison them through a fatal overdose. According to records obtained under the Public Records Act, the vast majority of kittens rounded up by PETA employees in 2018 and delivered to the Norfolk, VA, pound — nearly seven out of…
