Okay. I’m dumbfounded. A friend sent me this last week, because apparently a “PETA Kills Animals” website is advertising on a few of the same blogs as we are.

Is nothing sacred?

Granted, with all the celebrity retards People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) engages to hide the ball, month after month, I assumed there was some great secret behind the group. Like an X-Files episode gone bad, or a secret back-room sex cult.

But PETA Kills Animals? Really?

Here’s what the “PETA Kills Animals” website claims: PETA has killed 17,400 dogs and cats in the past nine years, and has a giant walk-in freezer to hide the bodies until a crematory service picks them up every month. In some cases, PETA employees have been convicted of tossing puppy and kitten bodies into trash dumpsters.

This just might be the biggest public hypocrisy story ever. You may as well tell me that Sean Penn is a raging capitalist, or that Alberto Gonzales carries an ACLU membership card.

I’m stunned.

Ordinarily, I would call “BS” on this whole thing. But they have legal documents. I did the math. It adds up to 17,400 dogs and cats.

Before any of you get on my case about pet overpopulation and the virtues of Bob Barker’s “spay/neuter” program, here’s my basic problem: PETA collects abo0ut $31 million every year. That’s around $2.6 million a month. Or $615,000 every week. With that kind of money, don’t you think they should be finding the odd stray kitten a home, instead of devoting so much of their income to hassling old ladies in fur coats? In 2006, PETA only adopted out 12 animals. The whole year.

I’m also not buying the line that every one of the pets PETA takes in is too sick or pathetic to adopt out. My sister once adopted a pit bull that was near death, and a white cat that was completely lost as a stray. It can be done.

If PETA’s not interested in this, then … WTF?

I’m just saying.
