PETA is well known for just killing because that's what everyone says about them. Nobody ever seems to talk about the numerous animal rights campaigns. You'd think if they were obsessed with mindlessly slaughtering dogs, they wouldn't be out there putting up doghouses for them. They've also spayed and neutered hundreds of thousands of animals. Of course, those don't get included in the shelter statistics, since their shelter is specifically made for humane euthanasia for strays and pets whose owners can't afford vet care.

And Maya. Two employees who were at that neighborhood picking up stray dogs, were given permission to take an unattended female brown Chihuahua without tags. Instead, they picked up an unattended female brown Chihuahua without tags (different). They didn't follow PETA'S own guidelines about holding animals for several days before euthanizing, and were fired for it. This is not PETA stealing pets out of people's homes to slaughter them mindlessly. If that's what they were doing, then why didn't they take that family's other unattended, unidentified dogs?

Please do yourself a favor and read from sources that don't cite CORE, the CCF, or Nathan Winograd. You'll find that the stories are a lot more nuanced when they aren't being told by the meat and dairy industry.
