Wayne you make an excellent point about forgiveness. But that does not change the fact that your protest against PETA is right on the money. They must stop killing dogs at their so called shelter,

and stop supporting breed-specific legislation in cities counties and states. Wayne Johnson PhD

PETA places animals in excellent, lifelong homes, as you can see on their website and in the video below. PETA is not a traditional shelter. They accept animals whom "no-kill" facilities often turn away because they aren’t adoptable. After seeing some of these animals, I think you’ll agree that a painless end through euthanasia is far kinder than letting them linger in pain or turning them away to suffer and die on the streets. Please watch this short video to see some of the animals PETA has helped in its community: https://vimeo.com/670285258/ad3c588aed

Thank you for sharing that video. I have seen dog fighting videos, and I will never forget the older, golden retriever mix who was being used as bait and the pitbull just attacking because he was trained that if he didn't he would be killed. Both dogs were so dead on the inside because of human greed. I will always support breed restrictions. I advise anyone who disagrees with them to really look into how widespread dogfighting is, and how many animals are tortured. Think larger than just your own, beautiful pitbull companion.

Thanks for sharing the stereotype that bully dogs are fighters. Thousands of innocent Pitbulls have suffered in Denver, Miami, the state of Ohio because of these brutal discriminatory breed specific legislation laws

How about all the healthy animals that are killed at that so-called shelter in Norfolk. How about their support for breed specific legislation, which is responsible for countless deaths of Pitbulls all over America. There is no defense for this policy. They do good work in several areas, but PETA is wrong about this.

Thousands of companion animals are killed in US shelters everyday. The number of animals that PeTA has killed in its entire existence (forty years plus) is equal to a few days of killing for USA.

Perhaps you could pick up specific cases where PeTA has been the devil and try to nail PeTA.

My country has a no-kill policy for companion animals.
