There is a group on Long Island I would not give you five cents for which flies under the mantle of no kill.
No one proclaims themselves to be a *kill* shelter but anyone can say they are NO KILL including some Kill shelters hiding behind the skirts of no kill. I say that bec. I challenged a local group's ED who said, "Oh we qualify as no kill though yes we euthanize??? quoting some guideline. Tiger Ranch had no money but good intentions, as did All Creatures in NC. PETA went undercover there. Video-ed a dog with a broken pelvis and back leg or two also broken.... and walked away. Could have "adopted??? that dog but left her there. Just there for the photo op. Just as HSUS didn't report the crimes at Hallmark immediately but said no one would do anything so why not wait months to present to the authorities.
End Cruelty goes on to say there is no nexus between the two groups, but doesn't Wayne???s early involvement with PETA count? It's a long blue wall of death for most animals presented by HSUS and PETA, and PETA mostly bec. Ingrid (found of PETA and moving force) ran a shelter in DC and set up guidelines (high euth. guidelines) offered to other shelters and regarded as the gold standard until communities woke up and demanded better. I live in DC. Ingrid poisoned the well here, but eventually the community woke up and protested, thanks in large part to Nathan Winograd who helped mount a campaign to get the shelter contract.
End Cruelty further says>>Unsubstantiated claims against the Humane Society of the United States typically made by those who did nothing for the stricken pets who survived Hurricane Katrina, do yet more nothing for the benefit of animals.
Wrong. Some real people on here and other such lists (Oprah's, Ellen's) are living like paupers trying to help animals ... What are YOU doing Mr. or Ms. End Cruelty?
End Cruelty goes on to say:
>>Peta is nothing if not a transparent organization....
I have been trying to get info on PETA's spay neuter project for some time. It's seems lucrative but maybe End Cruelty can try to get real financial data about it. I think a little is done for window dressing. Additionally, employees of PETA took adoptable, adorable animals and killed them on their van and Ingrid still says that was right. She thinks death is a gift. No one would believe the brainwashing good people undergo to come up thinking this way. We are in a war of live versus death, and PETA chooses death.
PETA and HSUS share a philosophy and employees move back and forth easily between the two orgs, and it won't take helicopters but the written word and both PETA and HSUS can pay for plenty of it.

PETA and Euthanasia

Instead of zero kills, PETA claims to be shooting for zero births. "Focusing on the animals that come into shelters is like emptying a river with a teaspoon," says Nachminovitch. "By investing in spay and neuter programs, which are where a lot of our resources go, we can stop unwanted births and prevent four times as much suffering."
But Brown and others insist they have achieved no-kill without turning animals away, and on a fraction of PETA's $30 million budget. "With the resources at their disposal, PETA and the Humane Society of the U.S. could become no-kill in no time," Winograd says. "Instead they have become leading killers of cats and dogs, and the animal-loving public unwittingly foots the bill through taxes and donations."
