PETA's Kill Shelter

Interesting. It would seem that PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, if you don't know) runs a kill shelter in Virginia. See petakillsanimals.com to get the scoop. I'm sure there's another side to the story—there always is—but the petakillsanimals site offers some pretty compelling evidence. It seems like something PETA should address.

I've defended animal rights organizations in the past in foie gras debates, but I always qualify that defense with particular organisations: both Viva! USA and the Animal Welfare Institue seem to work from good information and intentions, though the people at those organizations and I don't always agree. As far as I know, though, neither one advocates animal rights while running a kill shelter.
