?Outting? PETA: Liberal Compassion is just another word for Hypocrisy
By N. Beaujon
May 15, 2005
Recently New Max.com came out with an article on People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) headlined: PETA's Dirty Secret?PETA Kills Animals. By the Thousands. My first reaction was that the headline was the story. We all know that PETA is a bunch of histrionic hypocrites whose love for animals is exceeded only by their hatred of human beings but then I delved further. If PETA is actually euthanizing animals by the thousands then what is it really spending its cash on, and who funds them?
As it turns out PETA receives almost $29 million per year in donations presumably from animal lovers and other unsuspecting philanthropists. PETA spends $25,000,000.00, per year, leaving itself with an end of the year profit of approximately $4 million dollars as well as an asset class of $11,479,793.00.[1] (Such is the convoluted math of a 501(c)3. Go figure.) Can you imagine how many animals $29 million dollars per year could save? Instead, they are making a profit. Apparently star studded soirees and glossy advertising campaigns are more important then the protection of abandoned strays or spaying and neutering programs.
As if any more proof were needed that liberals are incapable of genuine compassion and are only interested in exterminating innocent life, PETA has enormous ties with the tragically misnamed Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). According to numerous sources and Consumer Freedom.com HSUS is one bad dude. Just this week the State of Florida pulled all of HSUS?s funding ?after [it was] discovered that the ultra-rich HSUS doesn't operate any spay/neuter programs?. Incredibly, the Humane Society of the United States has over $113 million in assets and an annual operating budget of $69 million but it doesn't save any animals. Its own web site simply touts its public-awareness campaigns, programs, legislation, activist alerts, and educational publications. In 2002, for example, HSUS poured more than $175,000 into a Florida ballot initiative which gave constitutional rights to pregnant pigs.[2]. Not one red dime of this national committee actually goes toward saving animals. HSUS has recently merged with the national high profile Fund for Animals which is expected to bring in an annual budget of $ 80 million dollars, yet incredibly not one of the organizations runs a spay/neuter clinic or an actual animal shelter for abandoned pets.
