Poor man child. Parents really are to blame. Joaquin Phoenix Bottom’s brother was River Jude Bottom Phoenix, sister Rain Joan of Arc Bottom and Libertad Mariposa Bottom .

When he decides he needs some protein - I expect he’ll go cannibal.

Exclusive: PETA’s Pet Killing Program Set a New Record in 2009
Public Records: PETA Found Adoptive Homes for Just 1 out of 300 Animals

Animal lovers worldwide now have access to more than a decade’s worth of proof that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) kills thousands of defenseless pets at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. Since 1998, PETA has opted to “put down” 23,640 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens instead of finding homes for them.

PETA’s “Animal Record” report for 2009, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 97 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2009, PETA found adoptive homes for just eight pets.

Just eight animals — out of the 2,366 it took in. PETA just broke its own record.

Why would an animal rights group secretly kill animals at its headquarters? PETA’s continued silence on the matter makes it hard to say for sure. But from a cost-saving standpoint, PETA’s hypocrisy isn’t difficult to understand: Killing adoptable cats and dogs – and storing the bodies in a walk-in freezer until they can be cremated – requires far less money and effort than caring for the pets until they are adopted.

PETA has a $33 million annual budget. But instead of investing in the lives of the thousands of flesh and blood creatures in its care, the group spends millions on media campaigns telling Americans that eating meat, drinking milk, fishing, hunting, wearing leather shoes, and benefiting from medical research performed on lab rats are all “unethical.”

The bottom line: PETA’s leaders care more about cutting into their advertising budget than finding homes for the six pets they kill on average, every single day.

Ah, that is too bad. I really like him as an actor. He is very good.

Oh well, let him have his kooky charity....

Yeah, I always liked his performances in Ladder49 and Signs. The fake accent in Gladiator took away from his performance IMO.

Apparently, it's just a matter of time before those in Hollywood make that left turn.

Yeah, that clean livin’ lifestyle seemed to work out pretty well for his brother River Phoenix.

he was great in “gladiator”, “walk the line”, and “we own the night”.

I even thought he was good as a kid in “parentood”.
