A short note about PETA

I don't know what your feelings on PETA may be, but I have long been appalled by their policies on animals that are brought to them.  If you don't know about this, you should read some of the material on them before you make up your mind.  There is an item today in the AOL News concerning PETA's recent statements about the tragic death of a Sea World trainer, and this has brought the issue back into the news (you may also want to check out the PETAkillsanimals.com website).  As one of my firm beliefs is that too many people are having their diabetic dogs put down because they either don't understand that they can live good lives after the diagnosis or because they just don't want to be bothered, I am especially disturbed by the unnecessary euthanasia of thousands of healthy dogs for which PETA is responsible.  With all the money gullible animal lovers give them each year, surely they could do more to get them adopted.  It would be a better use of the money than running the walk-in freezer where they keep the dead animals until they have a big enough batch for cremation.
