In response to a news story about PETA advising governors to push for mandatory spay-neuter laws.
Hi Rachel –
Just read your article, http://tinyurl.com/msngovs and I'm thinking you could definitely use some interview questions to pose to PETA.
Ask them:
WHY they killed over 97% of the animals they claimed to rescue in 2009– and they repeat this sad pattern every year???
WHY they feel they're entitled to be seen as experts – when they claim that a bitch can produce a litter every 3 months – that's IMPOSSIBLE!
WHY there are so many dogs being imported by rescue groups – if there's such an overabundance of animals here?
WHY they're not helping people retain their pets during financial problems?
WHY they think that dogs and cats are better dead than with people?
WHERE they got their statistics – as the statistics they've published every year are FAR more dismal on their adoption rates – OR, do they consider death a "forever home"?
Oh – and don't forget to ask them WHY they're pushing for mandatory sterilization when, according to the 2009-2010 APPMA statistics:
75% of owned dogs are already sterilized?
As for the cats – most entering shelters are feral – meaning, NO ONE owns them! And of owned cats:
87% are already sterilized.
Have a great day, and don't forget that research is a prerequisite to good reporting.
