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.…

What is your dog worth?

By Nathan J. Winograd | December 3, 2019December 3, 2019 by Nathan J. Winograd

Looking for Oswald? You can usually find him in the crook of my arm. Veterinarians, boarding kennels, and others in the business of making money off our great love of animals are not shy about acknowledging what they call “the deep bond humans develop with their pets” when we are writing the checks to them. As one of their industry organizations recently acknowledged: “A majority of pet owners share their beds with furry friends. People…

El Paso Police Move to Block Release of Evidence in Dog/Cat Pound Deaths

By Nathan J. Winograd | December 2, 2019March 23, 2020 by Nathan J. Winograd

Last month, PETA released photographs given to them by a whistleblower at the El Paso, TX, pound. The photographs show dogs being mauled by other dogs, one dead puppy covered in blood with one forelimb gnawed completely to the bone and the other partially eaten. (To view that photograph, click here.) They also show the dead cat posted above. In a letter to the City of El Paso, PETA — which itself kills thousands of…

El Paso Police Report: Conditions that Led to Cannabalism in Dog Pound Not “Criminal Wrongdoing”

By Nathan J. Winograd | November 19, 2019November 19, 2019 by Nathan J. Winograd

Earlier this month, PETA released photographs given to them by a whistleblower at the El Paso, TX, pound. The photographs show dogs being mauled by other dogs, one dead puppy covered in blood with one forelimb gnawed completely to the bone and the other partially eaten. (To view that photograph, click here, but warning: it is very graphic and very disturbing.) In a letter to the City of El Paso, PETA — which itself kills…

Horror at an El Paso Kill Shelter

By Nathan J. Winograd | November 1, 2019March 23, 2020 by Nathan J. Winograd

PETA’s call for a criminal investigation was warranted, but so is the need for an earnest campaign to reform the shelter and bring it and its cruel, outdated practices into the 21st century, as many communities throughout Texas have already done. Given to them by a whistleblower, PETA has released photographs showing conditions inside the El Paso, TX, pound that can only be described as horrific. The photographs show dogs being mauled by other dogs,…

“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…

Why “No Birth” Is Not a Substitute for “No Kill”

By Nathan J. Winograd | April 23, 2019April 23, 2019 by Nathan J. Winograd

PETA recently argued in Long Beach, as they have elsewhere, against shelter reform and the pursuit of a No Kill city. They claimed that the only goal worth pursuing is a “no birth” nation. Here’s why that argument is simply not true and what is behind the deceptive claim. Spay/neuter and limiting breeding are important for all kinds of reasons, which is why sterilization is a core program of the No Kill Equation model of…

New Study: TNR Reduces Killing by Over 80%

By Nathan J. Winograd | March 22, 2019March 22, 2019 by Nathan J. Winograd

A new study looked at cat impound and killing rates in six city pounds before and after the implementation of a program to sterilize and release community cats. The cities involved were Albuquerque, Baltimore, Columbus (GA), Philadelphia, San Antonio, and Tucson. Once again, the study adds to a growing body of literature that Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) works. In all: A median decline of 83% in cat killing occurred at the six shelters compared to baseline. The…

“Terrifying”

By Nathan J. Winograd | March 8, 2019March 8, 2019 by Nathan J. Winograd

I responded to a call from a concerned woman who’d found an abandoned days-old kitten under her porch. When I came to pick up the kitten, I had her sign a generic give-up form that spelled out that euthanasia was a possibility. But I was instructed to repeatedly convey that we would do our absolute best, and so that’s what I said, even as the woman described her careful search for an organization she…
