People for the ethical Treatment of animals?

PeTA story and fact links: People for the ethical Treatment of animals?
Who are they kidding?

"I'd go to work early, before anyone got there, and I would just kill the animals myself...I must have killed a thousand of them, sometimes dozens every day." Ingrid Newkirk

“You may believe that animals should be killed, that black people should be enslaved, or that women should be beaten, but you don’t have the right to put those beliefs into practice.”

Still, Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said the policy might prevent people from acquiring more dogs than they can care for. "China may be barking up the right tree," she said. "It's sad that it comes to this, but for the dog's sake, restricting people to one dog stops impulse acquisition, encourages better care and will reduce the numbers who are suffering on the streets."http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/news/weird_news/15959915.htm
http://www.robesonian.com/articles/2004/03/22/news/editorials/editorials01.txt Daphna Nachminovitch, director of animal issues and abuse for PeTA, toured the new county pound in February and seemed satisfied that it was a tremendous improvement over the previous facility in how the animals were housed and treated. But in the letter to the Health Department, Nachminovitch made several recommendations for continued improvements, the details of which can be found in staff writer Tim Wilkins' Page 1A story today. We won't dismiss all of Nachminovitch's recommendations. The one we like the most is a ban on adoptions of animals - particularly pit bulls – that are obviously on their way to a dog fight.
Controlling an animal as deadly as a weapon
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/06/08/EDGDLD4G1S1.DTL Ingrid Newkirk Wednesday, June 8, 2005 ”Most people have no idea that at many animal shelters across the country, any pit bull that comes through the front door doesn't go out the back door alive. From California to New York, many shelters have enacted policies requiring the automatic destruction of the huge and ever-growing number of "pits" they encounter. This news shocks and outrages the compassionate dog-lover. Here's another shocker: People for the ethical Treatment of Animals, the very organization that is trying to get you to denounce the killing of chickens for the table, foxes for fur or frogs for dissection, supports the shelters' pit-bull policy, albeit with reluctance. We further encourage a ban on breeding pit bulls. “
http://www.peta.org/Living/commentary_listing.aspx?id=70 ”We must prohibit the breeding of fighting dogs, for their own protection as well as ours, and spay or neuter existing dogs. And given the appalling number of homeless dogs destroyed every day in shelters across the country, there should be a moratorium on all dog breeding. There are many wonderful dogs, mixed and purebred, large and small, in need of good homes who have never curled a lip at anybody. They die, while breeders of fighting dogs continue to breed tragedy.”

“Ingrid served as a deputy sheriff; as a Maryland state law enforcement officer with the highest success rate in convicting animal abusers; director of cruelty investigations for the second oldest humane society in the U.S.; and Chief of Animal Disease Control for the Commission on Public Health in the District of Columbia.
During her work as a humane officer, Ingrid discovered the enormous amount of animal abuse taking place behind closed doors in laboratories, on factory farms, etc. She met *Alex Pacheco when he volunteered at the shelter she worked at, and he gave her a copy of *Peter Singer’s book Animal Liberation. It inspired her to found PeTA in 1980 with the goals of investigating, publicizing and ending animal cruelty. “
*Alex Pacheco (now head of an animal rights fundraising company) is another activist who started his career with Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, in the late 1970s. He now serves on one of its advisory boards. Pacheco is co-founder and former chairman of People for the ethical Treatment of Animals, an organization whose leaders openly advocate terrorist violence. “Arson, property destruction, burglary, and theft are ‘acceptable crimes’ when used for the animal cause,” he once said. Pacheco is rumored to be a “commander” of ALF and has been subpoenaed in connection to Animal Liberation Front activities. http://www.activistcash.com/organization_overview.cfm/oid/347
* "The potential violence of the orangutan's come-on may have been disturbing, but the fact that it was an orangutan making the advances was not. That may be because [Birute] Galdikas understands very well that we are animals, indeed more specifically, we are great apes. This does not make sex across the species barrier normal, or natural, whatever those much-misused words may mean, but it does imply that it ceases to be an offence to our status and dignity as human beings." – Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation) http://www.animalrights.net/archives/year/2005/000149.html
Ingrid Newkirk on bestiality: If a girl gets sexual pleasure from riding a horse, does the horse suffer? If not, who cares? If you French kiss your dog and he or she thinks it's great, is it wrong? We believe all exploitation and abuse is wrong. If it isn't exploitation and abuse, it may not be wrong. http://www.animalrights.net/archives/year/2001/000102.html
Ingrid Newkirk – taking on the critics
We have an abolitionist approach, but I always say that while our heads are in the clouds and we fight for total liberation, our feet are firmly planted on the ground. For example, I don't think people should ride horses (which has been too radical for even an animal rights feminist publication to print in the U.S., believe it or not), but if I see someone beating a horse I'm going to try and stop them even if I can't take their horse away from them. I must say, the press doesn't share this idea that we are namby pamby: They know that if there's a rat or cockroach involved, PeTA is the group here that will stick up for that poor blighted animal publicly (we are currently defending sharks due to the hysteria over the recent attacks!) and we will always stick up for the A.L.F., so they call us and we do.

In Coronado's official "sentencing memorandum," U.S. Attorney Michael Dettmer wrote that PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk arranged ahead of time to have Coronado send her a pair of FedEx packages from Michigan -- one on the day before he burned the lab down, and the other shortly afterward. "Significantly," wrote Dettmer, "Newkirk had arranged to have the package[s] delivered to her days before the MSU arson occurred." http://www.naiaonline.org/pdfs/coronadosentencingmemorandum.pdf
And:
On documents that PETA files with the IRS, the group listed less than $8,000 in gifts to humane societies and SPCAs during 2001. In that same year, they gave $5,000 to Animal Liberation Front's militant Josh Harper and $1,500 to the Earth Liberation Front. http://www.consumerfreedom.com/news_detail.cfm/headline/2339
Ingrid’s will, and yes folks, she’s dead serious!

“PeTA was formed as a cover for the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and PeTA and ALF were one and the same.” FBI documents – read 10 highlighted pages. http://www.animalscam.com/references/peta_fbi1.cfm
“1987, Toronto’s Sunday Star wrote: (Cleveland) “Armory readily acknowledges his and PeTA’s support for illegal ‘direct action’ campaigns to protect animals. ‘We both support and serve as spokespersons for the Animal Liberation Front,’ Armory says candidly.” http://www.activistcash.com/biography.cfm/bid/3383
Surprise – Someone at PeTA is lying about that ELF donation http://www.animalrights.net/archives/year/2002/000115.html
In her afterword to Terrorists or Freedom Fighters? Reflections on the Liberation of Animals, Ingrid Newkirk writes, “If a concentration camp or laboratory is burned, that is violence, but if it is left standing is that not more and worse violence?…Isn’t the chicken house today’s concentration camp?…Will we condemn its destruction or condemn its existence? Which is the more violent wish?” http://www.satyamag.com/apr04/best.html

"I openly hope that it [hoof-and-mouth disease] comes here. It will bring economic harm only for those who profit from giving people heart attacks and giving animals a concentration camp-like existence. It would be good for animals, good for human health and good for the environment.” Ingrid Newkirk, ABC News interview April 2, 2001
