PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) defines themselves as an organization that is for nothing more than 'total animal liberation'. In their race to end so-called moral crimes against animals, they financially support those who are jailed for the use of violence, attempted murder, felony obstruction of government property, felony vandalism, performing obscene acts in public, destruction of federal property, burglary, terrorist groups, and arsonists, leaving nothing more than a trail of destruction from one place to another as these supporters/staffers protest their way across America. PETA seems to be nothing more than a group of unorganized extremists that do not execute any reasonable plans to end animal cruelty. Ingrid Newkirk, the president of PETA, funded arsonist Rodney Coronado with over $70,000 in grants, and over $150,000 to other known terrorists. Coronado is the long-time ringleader of The Animal Liberation Front, a criminal enterprise that the FBI classifies as America’s most dangerous domestic terrorism threat. He was sentenced to 57 months in prison for the 1992 arson of a Michigan State University research laboratory. In a 2002 speech by Coronado, he confessed to at least six other arsons, all of which were part of "Operation Bite Back", a crime spree he led as an Animal Liberation Front activist. The arsons and act of violence used by PETA-funded-activists could surely kill any person quite easily. How could you stand for Animal Liberation if you have no concern for the safety of HUMAN LIFE? Aren't we mammals??? Animals??? If you want to put it scientifically! Ingrid Newkirk also told the New Yorker the world would be a better place without people. She had herself sterilized because: "I am opposed to having children. Having a purebred human baby is like having a purebred dog; it's nothing but vanity, human vanity." Not only does Ingrid, the leader of this supposed 'life loving' group of people dispise human life, she also kills animals. During six years, PETA's Virginia headquarters 'rescued' 12,735 animals. Only 2,540 of those animals had been adopted. The other 10,195 were killed, by the hands of PETA! During 2004, the the Virginia headquarters 'rescued' 2,639 pets. They euthanized 2,278 of these animals while only finding homes for 361 of them. PETA is also responsible for the death of 220 dogs. 150 of these dogs were found in trash bags along side the road on a riverbank, the other 70 found in trash bags in grocery store dumpsters. Dana Cheek, Former Norfolk SPCA Director quoted: "I often receive phone calls from frantic people who have surrendered their pets to PETA with the understanding that PETA will 'find them a good home.' Many of them are led to believe that the animals will be taken to a nearby shelter. Little do they know that the pets are killed in the PETA van before they even pull away from the pet owner's home." "It is a totally rotten business, but sometimes the only kind option for some animals is to put them to sleep forever... It sounds lovely if you're naïve. We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn't do as much work." -- Ingrid Newkirk, PETA President, The Virginian-Pilot, August 1, 2000"I would go to work early, before anyone got there, and I would just kill the animals myself. Because I couldn't stand to let them go through other workers abusing the animals. I must have killed thousands of them, sometimes dozens everyday." -- Ingrid Newkirk, PETA President, The New Yorker, April 14, 2003"Our nonviolent tactics are not as effective. We ask nicely for years and get nothing. Someone makes a threat, and it works."-- Ingrid Newkirk, in the April 8, 2002 issue of US News & World Report"Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it."— PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk, in the September 1989 issue of Vogue"I wish we all would get up and go into the labs and take the animals out or burn them down."-Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, National Animal Rights Convention '97, June 27, 1997
