Twilight star/underwear model Kellan Lutz has teamed up with PETA in support of their “Adopt, Don’t Buy” campaign.
The ad copy reads:
“Buying Animals Is Killing Animals. Save a Homeless Dog or Cat—Always Adopt and Never Buy.”
And in other news, the death toll at PETA shelters in 2009 was 2,301.
Ahem.
Something is fishy here. Oh, excuse me, I mean something is “sea-kitten-y” here.
AOL News reports:
In 2009, PETA euthanized 2,301 dogs and cats — 97 percent of those brought in — and adopted only eight, according to Virginia state figures. And the rate of these killings has been increasing. From 2004 to 2008, euthanasia at PETA increased by 10 percent.
The numbers are remarkable in contrast to nearby shelters. In the same town, the Norfolk City Pound euthanized 54.7 percent of its dogs and cats in 2009. In 2008, the most recent year on record, the Norfolk SPCA found homes for 86 percent of its dogs and cats and euthanized only 5.3 percent.
By its own admission, PETA isn’t even interested in finding animals homes. Why not? Because sometime between when they get picked up as strays and the time they find a loving home, they may have to live in a cage. You know, just like a PETA intern.
Oh the horror!
