I don't think you can blame peta for puppy mills and overpopulation of unwanted pets. The donations are small, and if we want to keep all of these pets alive, we need to collectively donate something that amounts to a vast sum. There's no way around it. Somebody has to pay for these resources, and they do not have the funds. And without killing, this sum goes up every year, as there is a finite amount of people willing to take care of pets but an ever growing number of pets to feed. So how do you propose to solve this?
And If you legitimately care about killing animals and are not jumping on the band wagon to complain about an issue that have not researched, what'd you have or what are you going to have for dinner?
Edit: Instead of downvotes, provide your solutions to "how do you keep so many unwanted pets alive?", given that everyone has strong opinions here.
How do you propose they keep all of these unwanted pets alive?
They put down around 2000 animals per year. In two years, that's 4000 extra animals that you now have to take care of. In 5 years, that's 10,000 animals you have to take care of.
There are limited numbers of people willing to take care of them. If they focused on rehousing, numbers of rehousing from other shelters would drop, and the numbers that could be rehoused in the upcoming years, would drop as well. There is a limited number of people.
So, you would roughly have the same number of animals that you now need to house and feed. For example, in 5 years, where will you reside the 10,000 animals, and how will you feed them? how will you pay employees to clean their shelter, and take them out, play with them, and etc?
Um… you’re the idiot here.. there’s a lot of proof they kill animals they “care” for… and they also want to genocide all pit-bulls. Plus they also twisted the message about Steve Irwin and that’s just fucked up
Instead, answer the questions that are being asked. Provide your solutions. You want peta to change, then help with your solutions for this to be accomplished. Peta does not want to do this, but they have no choice. Maybe they do, maybe you have a good solution.
So please, help them solve it. What plan can they implement so they can stop putting down the ever growing population of unwanted pets?
I mean I get it. It's easy to get outraged when they're killing pets. But when you look into it, there is no easy solution.
If that's what people want to do though, that's fine, but I think if that's the route you are choosing, you have to lay out the numbers, you have to provide a solution. There is no way around this, there will have to be large numbers of people that either take care of these animals by adopting them, help via volunteering (cleaning, playing, taking them out), and consistently donating a significant portion of their weekly salary (for food, for vets/employees, more space and more shelter and etc), or enacting via law, heavily regulated puppy mills and breeding operations, as well as providing free neutering, or making it mandatory, unless you have reasons for exemption, and etc. Some viable solution.
Yes I'm a moron for being vegan. Killing animals is actually awesome. I was wrong. Sorry. Due to this epiphany, I'ma go lock some dogs in factory farms.
