Answers:
When you look at a website such as Petakillsanimals, you also must look at you runs such a website and what their agenda may be.
The website peta kills animals is put out by the CCF. The CCF is a front group for big tobbacco, resturaunts, meat industry, and alcohol. The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit corporation run by lobbyist Richard Berman. Berman is known as a spin doctor. He misinforms, alters the truth and down right lies to get his message across.
This is the same man that went against the group, mothers against drunk driving(MADD) and wanted to lower the legal blood alcohol level. He goes against groups that are will impact the profits of his financial backers. The group denies the obestiy problem in the U.S. and is against Unions and a minimum wage for workers.
In Bermans own words his strategy is to shoot the messenger ... "we’ve got to attack their credibility as spokespersons"
Be careful what you read, not everything on the internet can be trusted to come from a credible source that does not have some sort of agenda behind it.
Where they may have euthanized some animals(which is sad), what is more sad is the people who dumped these animals is the first place. The life of an animal in a shelter is a tragic story. I personally am not against euthanasia of shelter animals. It is far more cruel to have these animals live years in a 4x8 run, only looked at when a bowl of food is thrown in.
"Some ... dogs are immediately placed in wonderful, permanent homes. But there are also troubling moral dilemmas surrounding some of the "gray area" dogs. If a dog bites a shelter worker, is it ethical to adopt him out to the general public? If a dog guards his food, can he be trusted in a family with children? And what about the dogs that never find homes -- is it more humane to sentence them to a lifetime in the shelter or to euthanize them?"(1)
If you want to get an insight in the lives of shelter animals, watch a documentary called "Shelter Dogs" which sometimes comes on HBO. Very informative and very sad. Gave me more insight into why shelter put animals to sleep. It is not always a black and white subject.
