Johnny Weir and PETA Compromise – Johnny Weir to skate with PETA’s dead dog skins.

Just thought it would be a good solution, considering PETA doesn’t approve of him wearing fur, but PETA also kills just about every dog that enters their “humane society” and doesn’t believe in non-kill shelters or dog sanctuaries.  They have literally thousands of dead dog skins to spare every year – they can even sell them to add to their about 30 million dollar budget.  Beautiful black and tans, brindle furs, etc… You name it PETA can probably produce it.

PETA can sell you a coat, ear muffs, or scarf that will match your own dogs’ fur.  Think of the fashion possibilities!

I can not find the 2009 records but these are previous 3 years numbers for dogs and cats:

Why are they against non-kill shelters and sanctuaries for dogs and cats?

They can answer better than me so here are their own words from their own web site:

Here is what they say about non-kill shelters: Click Here

Wow! Hey, how about just improving the situation in the shelter… Improving the training, enrichment, and socialization programs of the non-kill shelters?

Good thing PETA isn’t in the human orphanage business…

Of course they offer no solutions besides death.  They even speak against the best known way to potty train a puppy – using a crate.  This will cause more dogs to end up in their kill shelter, get into trouble, or get hurt when not supervised.  Like I said, good thing they aren’t into the ethical treatment of children, because I guess cribs wouldn’t be allowed.  Their words on their own site: Click Here

I am not against kill shelters, because as of now they are a necessary evil.  But, I am against hypocrites and those who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.

Don’t you think it is time for a serious change in this country in the way our dogs are treated?

Does PETA really represent animal rights? 

A majority of people in this country consider their dogs as family members and treat them as so – so why are not more people doing more to stop what is going on in this country and set the pace for the rest of the world?

If dogs are like our family members than let’s just describe what the equivalent would be if we were dealing with humans.

If dogs were humans:

“Baby farms” would be legal and babies would be sold to many middlemen that allow them to just pee and poop through bars in their cribs.  Meanwhile, orphanages would be overflowing.

“Baby farms” and backyard baby producers would cage people with known genetic based illnesses and psychological problems to give birth to babies to sell as long as they were cute babies and there was someone willing to buy them.

Orphanages would be overflowing with children.  Some orphanages, ran by places like PETA, would kill most the children instead of improving the orphanage and developing programs there to help the situation.

Children that have developed behavior problems or are harder to adopt would be killed off to make room for easier to adopt children coming in.

Their would be little public programs in place to help these children.

“Kill” and “No-Kill” orphanages would be in a war against each other as to who is worse.  The orphanage who has to turn new orphans away because they are filled or the government contracted orphanages that must take in all orphans and kill them.

THERE WOULD BE NO REAL CONSOLIDATED EFFORT TO REALLY FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE SOCIETY HAD BECOMED DESENSITIZED TO THE FACT THAT WE WERE KILLING MILLIONS OF CHILDREN EVERY YEAR FOR AS LONG AS THEIR GRANDPARENTS COULD REMEMBER.

People would send their child to the orphanage for potty training issues, for talking back, for hitting, for any kind of behavior problem.  The child would be eventually killed and the person would adopt another…

It would be a common suggestion for top Universities on Child Psychology and even family doctors to recommend people kill their kids because of their behavior problems or to kill off the kids in the orphanages with behavior problems.

Now back to the real world of dogs…

It’s hard to believe that there are not more people that can look outside the box and see how absurdly easy it would be to make real changes in this country.

Do you believe in justice?

Can you look into the face of an abused, genetically disadvantaged, or unsocialized and untrained dog that was set up for failure’s face and honestly believe that his life is worth less than any others?  Do you believe he fears death less than your own dog that you love?

Many dogs have died during the time it took for you to read this article and millions more will this year in shelters.  Do you know who is killing them?

Us… WE are killing them.  As long as WE do nothing we are killing them.  Worse than PETA, worse than the puppy mills, worse than the evilest animal abuser on the planet.

Who is going to save them?  Are you going to rely on the Humane Society of the United States with their $100 million dollar budget?  Go to your local shelter and see how much of that any dog really sees.  Do your own research if you care.

If you really believe in the rights of man’s oldest and most loyal friend than please do one or more of the following:

Forward, share, or spread this article to anyone you feel would like to be informed.

Get involved with your own local shelter to see how you can help them.

Do not support the cash crop puppy industry no matter what that pet store says and no matter how clean it is.  If looking for a dog… Adopt a dog or at least support a reputable breeder (that breeds to better the health and temperament of a breed ) who stands by and rescues their own dogs that they produce.

Above all stay educated.

Programs in place and developing at Putnam Humane Society:

-        Free socialization and early intervention programs for all county puppies

-        Free dog behavior problem and success clinic for all county residents

-        Training, rehab, socialization, and a CHANCE at a new life for ALL sheltered dogs

-        The social worker program for adopted shelter dogs – to help with the success of an adopted dog with special needs and management

    Naturally, though, PETA won’t consider this, because they’re not rational people. Let’s face it: it’s MUCH easier to create emotional responses to things than to actually, yahnno, put their energy into doing logical things like becoming government inspectors who try to make sure that there is humane treatment for animals used for food or fur. Because that’s too easy.

    And because they fail, epically, to understand that there will never be a time when every person on earth is vegetarian. Even it that happens, there will be the mass destruction of animals that no longer provide monetary compensation for feeding and housing them. If they think people are cruel to animals when they’re killing for these things, they will be utterly useless when they have no monetary value.

    Not that I /like/ how the animals I do eat are now treated, however, I would much prefer to know how to provide a way to do it without unnecessary violence to the creature involved. Which I have yet to hear about.

    Also, having worked in a no kill shelter, I can tell you that more often than not the staff will take animals home to foster rather than leave them in the shelter, especially if they have behavioral problems that will be relieved by not being in the shelter. The animals in this place were treated as decently as could be managed. There just isn’t enough funding for these places to do better. PETA needs to give more money to these places so they can do better in supporting and treating those animals better. They try; oh, how they try. Unfortunately, nobody’s giving them enough support to do their ultimate best.
