QUOTE BY INGRID: Animal rights campaigners expressed their outrage at the
use of dogs by British forces in Afghanistan. People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals (PETA) said: "dogs are not tools or "innovations"
and are not ours to use and toss away like empty Ammunition shells"
Really Ingrid, is that your true feelings? Because in your issue of Animal
Times, Winter 2010, you certainly find shelter animals (like dogs) an easily
disposable commodity.
What happened to the woman, who with Alex Pacheco, erupted, blazing on the
ripe horizon with your now infamous landmark expose of the egregious abuse
of the Silver Springs Monkeys? From making headlines with you bold actions
PETA has grown into a household name. A champion for all animals, you have
made amazing progress for all Animal Rights Activists and inspired a world.
Many loved you, many hated you, but no one is left with a neutral opinion of
your insightful work.
It is well known you and Alex Pacheco parted ways in 1996 when you moved
PETA's headquarters from Rockville, Maryland to Norfolk, Virginia. At the
time Alex chose to move to Los Angeles then in 1998 to Florida where he
began his interest in implementing No Kill regions.
So Ingrid lets get back to the real subject here, what happened to you? You
have dropped the ball regarding shelter animals, your attitude is totally
negative, your arguments are misleading, and deceptive. Frankly speaking
Ingrid you almost border on lying by deception. Your latest edition of
Animal Times was a manipulative bit of double talk and buzz words.
First we have in Animal Times, Winter 2010 the ever so condescending...A
message From Ingrid E. Newkirk. Your twisted bit of fluff on Euthanasia is
laughable. Your unimaginative solution to murder all abandoned and stray
animals is flawed. You completely avoided the fact that Kill Shelters are a
business, yes a business of selling and killing animals. They sell many
animal for vivisection (Pound Seizure) and a lot of their dead corpses are
sold to universities and hospitals for dissection. Killing animals can be
very profitable.
In this same issue you also wrote a very biased and negative column, a
deceptive and damning article on No Kill Shelters. I think it is time PETA
steps back and makes room for a more positive forward thinking group. It
should be abundantly apparent to you by now Ingrid, after over 100 years of
killing these animals, it doesn't work. You write, like a deluded,
inappropriately euphoric teenager in love, only your infatuation is a
damning and insipid death sentence. You wrote this insensitive and illogical
comment
"UNTIL THERE IS A HOME FOR EVERY ANIMAL BORN, LET'S BE GRATEFUL FOR ANIMAL
SHELTER WORKERS WHO PROVIDE ANIMALS FOR WHOM NO GOOD HOME CAN BE FOUND WITH
A PEACEFUL EXIT FROM LIFE."
What color is the sky in your world? Are you so alacritous in encouraging
the end these animals' lives you salivate at the idea? Your rhetoric is
vehement in this kill, kill mindset.
![]() "Dog being Euthanized in a peaceful exit from life" promoted by PETA... Does this look like a wonderful experience to you INGRID? |
Ingrid your organization takes on virtually all animal issues. PETA's
capacity to expose, advocate, and indoctrinate sweeping reforms in the
cesspools of animal abuse is mind boggling. Like a proud Oak tree, PETA
stands tall and looming with your many branches reaching like loving
tentacles, embracing the suffering animals. What happened? You, a woman that
has taken on huge corporations, became a Global power is stupefied as to a
solution to the excess populace of domestic animals?
Ingrid you are either for all animals or against them. You are at best a
confusing, pious contradiction of your own theologies. You write about the
21 cats rescued by PETA and I assume so enchantingly killed, or as you
advocate given a peaceful exit from life without their permission.
You mention you have spared them from facing any dangers, like you aren't
the ultimate threat, giving them no option but death. It doesn't get more
final than that! Now in your message you said these cats faced many dangers,
freezing, being shot, poisoned, set on fire, hanged from trees or hit by
cars. Didn't you forget your death agenda? I believe giving them a lethal
shot of Sodium Pentobarbital is poisoning them, is it not? Lethal does mean
deadly!
I have seen videos of these unfortunate animals, as you put it, receiving a
peaceful exit from life. Guess what Ingrid, they weren't looking too happy,
in fact, they were extremely frightened, stressed, pitiful, vulnerable
creatures, quivering bravely, trusting these paid killers not to exterminate
them! One minute they were alive, bravely clinging to hope for their lives.
Instead they whence as the needle is threaded into their vein and they are
injected with an overdose of this innocuous fluid, Sodium Pentobarbital and
they fall over dead. Their demise just a number on some chart, another
corpse, disposable and dismissed forever from any hope or future.
You may call being terrified, held prisoner by human predators that take
your life against your will a peaceful exit from life. I call it as it is
MURDER! Not only is this tragedy despicable and unnecessary, the sad fact s,
this pleasant picture you presented of euthanasia is not necessarily the
norm, not at all.
You either are not educated in this area, the euthanasia of domestic animals
or you almost lied by omission. There are many forms of euthanasia that are
extremely painful, cruel, inhumane and agonizing. The gas chamber and heart
stick are miserable ways to die. The heart stick needs to be administered
under very strict and astringent circumstance with two people assisting in
the killing. Most puppies and kittens are killed by the heart stick without
sedation as their veins are too small for the peaceful exit from life.
Then lets not forget those who kill these animals in a cruel and
inappropriate fashion with absolutely no concern for these animals misery
and terror. Not sedating an animal before heart-sticking them, using the
squeezebox to hold them secure so workers can effortlessly plunge the needle
into their heart or chest cavity. Many animals have writhed in agony for
quite a few minutes because indifferent shelter workers have filled their
lungs or chest cavity with the liquid death. The gas chamber is no better,
cramming animals into the machine, piled on each other like a container of
garbage, where they lose control of their bowels, bladder, and they vomit
and struggle to live as the noxious gas slowly kills them. These aren't
pleasant exists from life. They are as unfortunates a fate as those you
suggest all animal face if not sheltered and killed.
Ingrid domestic animals lives are as important as any other animal and you
personally are contemptible in your flawed justification of the murders of
millions of these animals each year. You are either part of the problem or
part of the solution. You Ingrid lose this one. Your credibility is becoming
dismal and vague. You are as replaceable to many of us as those domestic
animals you find so easy to murder. You fool no one with your article in
which you paint brush the act into some pretty favor you have betrothed to
them. You are becoming obsolete real fast, double talk doesn't play with all
of us working to successfully to implement No Kill Shelters and we aren't
bowing to your archaic and cozy murder rhetoric you so piously advocate.
Are you jealous or threatened by of Nathan Winograd's successes. Here is the
reality, euthanasia of domestic animals is unacceptable, cruel and
ineffective. It has proved to be ineffective for over 100 years, solutions
and alternative actions are available. We don't need you to attempt to
discourage our new and effective endeavors and distribute misleading
information regarding No Kill Shelters. Ingrid you're old news. Your
stubborn determination to continue to support euthanizing domestic animals
is forming a huge crevice in the foundation of PETA and people aren't
accepting your archaic, draconian and flawed mandates!
I really think Ingrid, you have lost sight of a lot of the original
theologies of PETA. Alex left and is long gone, now working on the new
concepts of No Kill Regions, this speaks for itself.
PETA may be beginning to descend as more forward thinking, positive
advocates willing to explore new solutions to varied animal issues speak
out. To embrace the concept that there is no possible alternative to the
euthanasia of domestic animals ,suggest you Ingrid have lost some of your
drive, your energy and problem solving attributes.
If you are going to roll over and play dead on this issue and then
deceptively represent No Kill Shelters as hoarders with examples of flawed
attempts made by uninformed, ill advised shelters you are only going to gain
the criticism and contempt of a large number of people. You can't overlook
and condescendingly discredit the many successful efforts and works of such
people as Nathan Winograd, it will evolve into a blatant and dismal
reflection of your credibility.
Your negativity and deception in your article in Animal Times "Hoarders.
Coming to an Animal Shelter Near You" is just another step downward as PETA
descends into the past, replaced by new organizations more fitting in our
present times.
Ingrid there is only one thing that is absolute, that is change. That you
support a stagnant option, the murder of healthy animals in your foolish,
misleading, discouraging article is quite an abomination indeed. The rest of
us are rapidly moving forward, you can breath our dust as we surge into the
future where we chose the option of life over death and you remain sitting
there belligerent, foolishly arrogant and old news!
