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."

Comment: I hope that those who are against any form of euthanasia are willing to take any and all animals into their lives and pay for their care. I have seen animals tortured, starved, and tormented and there will be more of this if there are not slaughterhouses, animal shelters,hunting, animals not allowed to be sold to others and people do not control the breeding of the animals. When an animal is part of your life. It is your responsiblity for its lifetime. Humans do not seem to see that for their children. How can we expect it for the animals? There is something to the Eastern Cultures "Dying with Honor" phylosophy.

Comment: I am totally against slaughterhouses, abortions, hunting, trapping and fishing. It's only acceptable to euthanize an animal if said animal is extremely sick or traumatized.
