Statistically, PETA in the US ends up killing roughly 85% (likely more) of the animals they "save".
How do you feel knowing that a large majority of the animals that are saved end up dead anyways? How do you feel knowing the 'non-profit' company pulled in a cool $34 million in profits in 2009? Do you honestly believe that PETA, at this point in time, is actually trying to save animals? Why doesn't PETA use 'no kill' facilities?
PETA report from their Norfolk facility in 2011. The Norfolk facility is their headquarters for those that do not know.
2050 animals are "saved". 1965 are euthanized. 28 animals are adopted, while 11 are reclaimed by their owner.

When I contacted PETA for a comment on these numbers, Amanda Schinke, a spokesperson for the organization, sent a thoughtful and detailed response. In it she explained how "euthanasia is a product of love for animals who have no one to love them."
$34 million in profit. While healthy puppies and kittens are killed because their facilities cannot sustain them.

Would certainly help.

but I've never seen in the flesh an animal they've put down - I've been there twice for training and sat in an office, not the 'shelter'
"And here we are killing animals. This is a part of our regular tour. You have to pay extra to see where we dump the bodies."
You really think they are just going to voluntarily show off their slaughter house?

His answer was, "I'm not beholden to special interests, so I will operate in the way that I believe is actually in the best interest of the people".
I felt like he gave a legitimate answer there.
