People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is an organization
that publicly claims to represent the best interest of animals --
indeed their "ethical treatment." Yet approximately 2,000 animals pass
through PETA's front door every year and very few make it out alive. The
vast majority -- 96 percent in 2011 -- exit the facility out the back
door after they have been killed, when Pet Cremation Services of
Tidewater stops by on their regular visits to pick up their remains.
Between these visits, the bodies are stored in the giant walk-in freezer
PETA installed for this very purpose. It is a freezer that cost $9,370
and, like the company which incinerates the bodies of PETA's victims,
was paid for with the donations of animal lovers who could never have
imagined that the money they donated to help animals would be used to
end their lives instead. In fact, in the last 11 years, PETA has killed 29,426 dogs, cats, rabbits, and other domestic animals. Most animal lovers find this hard to believe. But seeing is
believing. And if it is true that a picture speaks a thousand words, the
following images speak volumes about who and what PETA really stands
for...more
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
