Fun fact, PETA kills upwards of 90% of the animals they claim to rescue.
Their director makes $147k salary, Sr VP makes $142k, VP makes $126k, and the Pres makes $36,999.
That is notably a lot less than, for example, ASPCA's executives who make hundreds of thousands up to $1,203,267 made by Matt Berdshadker in 2023, but on the other hand ASPCA has strict rules against Euthanasia except for circumstances that make the animal aggressive, suffering, of completely unadoptable.
The ASPCA typically has a lower euthanasia rate than PETA because it often employs more selective admission policies, focusing on adopting out animals rather than accepting all animals regardless of their condition. In contrast, PETA operates as an open-admission shelter, which means it takes in all animals, leading to higher euthanasia rates due to the number of unadoptable or severely ill animals it receives.
Doesn't the aspca also spend more on advertising than helping animals? I remember them also having a suspicously high CEO pay.
You should remember, it is outlined two comments up this chain.
They both are helpful just in different ways. Ideally wed have the ASPCA and Peta working together for a better outcome, but unfortunately thats not usually the case.
"Focusing on adopting out animals" which results in >90% fatality? I would laugh but that's just not funny. The reason PETAs kill count is so high is because they fundamentally don't believe in livestock or owning pets, they see killing dogs, cats, and horses as a mercy.
You should re-read my post because you are attacking a point I didnt make.
You likely fell victim to propaganda from the animal imdustry:
https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/PETA_Kills_Animals
Whether or not there is a front group named such doesn't argue the fact at all.
Thats like claiming animal rights activists are propoganda because theres a group named "swine are tortured".
Ok. You didn't read the article, did you?
I clicked your link, despite never having heard of sourcewatch, and it says there exists a propaganda group, which I have never heard of, sharing the same factual information as I have here.
I'm a wholehearted supporter of animal welfare, but I disagree with the fundamentals of PETA murdering every pet they get their hands on.
