Seriously, PETA needs to understand that culling animals en masse doesn't make for a strong case for their organization, and they ideally need to realize that other watchdog groups for the preservation of animal life aren't in complete agreement with them.
Fat chance of that ever breaking through, though. They're the Westboro Baptist Church of the environmentally conscious.
I'm Canadian and therefore have to go through the SPCA for the greater Montreal area. Now, these guys feel like absolute dirtbags whenever they have to euthanize a single animal and they stretch the limits of their support to the absolute maximum. Some dogs can stick around for two weeks before being put down - they really do everything they can to give the pooches and kitties a chance to find a home.
Now if you want REALLY horrendous animal cruelty, check out the Auberge du Berger Blanc in Montreaal. These assholes practically butcher their occupants as soon as they come in, and grieving owners who can't pay to be there during euthanasia typically end up finding out that their pets received intra-cardiac injections and were tossed out into garbage bins while still alive. Believe me, that's utter agony.
I've had to put my dog down last January, and I was adamant in trusting only my veterinarian to do the job properly. I saw Whiskey die, I can attest that he didn't suffer. That's all the validation I could've asked for.
