Re-homing a dog is not always the easiest but it is AKC’s preferred route. PETA’s apparent lack of commitment to re-homing is hypocritical.

No it isn't. PETA believes animals are better off in dignified death than alive and being "exploited" by humans.

No it isn't. PETA believes animals are better off in dignified death than alive and being "exploited" by humans.

I remember some years ago reading an article about the woman who began PETA; and, in that article they told the reader straight out that this woman would pick up cats that she saw while walking to work, and she would kill them in her office. (I don't know what she did with the carcass.) This was the beginning of my distrust of "animal rights" organizations.

The people at PETA do not believe any animal should be kept as a pet; and, they do believe death is a better option. Now, my perfectly pampered corgi would disagree entirely. He is very fond of the food we serve at our table; from which he receives scraps.

Exactly, PETA does not believe in PETS, how can an animal be your pet when PETA considers it to have the exact same rights as humans.

The issue of the ‘displaced misanthropic rage’ of the rescue set is a valid discussion especially regarding peta. peta doesn't actually love animals; no animal lover could possibly kill stray cats given their well known autonomy not to mention the folkloric meme of their inability to even die. A woman killing cats in her office is acting out her rage at her own abandonment by humanity. Such an act is a vicarious suicide.
Conversely, the unctuous , simpering adoration of ‘abandoned pets by ‘rescuers’belies their own repressed misanthropic bent. Lets face it, the celebrity queen of Rescue, famous for her vegetarian regime of not eating ‘ anything with a face.’ Meanwhile, her own son blew his face off with a shotgun. And her own self narrative belies nothing in her maternal instincts that would have avoided that fact.
