North Carolina's Deepest Shame

This is the sad reality of not only the beautiful state of North Carolina but other states inhumane methods in disposing of our nation's homeless pet population. This is an unpleasant fact that many have no idea still exists in the United States of America. We have a serious moral dilemma in how our nation's homeless animals are being controlled, cared for and disposed of with the funding of American tax dollars.

North Carolina is one of the biggest offenders of operating the most gassing and heart sticking facilities in the United States to control the out of control pet population. The amount of homeless animals in this state alone is hard to fathom, and the ways in which they control them is barbaric, immoral, and inhumane.

This is a message of hope in the belief that the more people become aware and as outraged that this still exists, a positive change can take place in ending it. All animals regardless of their circumstances deserve to be treated humanely and compassionately. We have the right to demand nothing short of the above when it is our hard-earned American tax dollars funding it.

This is North Carolina's deepest shame.

@superbeauthy - Yes. It does.

I don't appreciate the fact that my tax money (NC tax money) is being used to cruelly murder unwanted pets. This is disgusting. NC also kills twice as many cats. Why are cats not featured in the video?

Funny thing about you "PETA kills animals" folk is that while you wave your finger in PETA's face for providing 2,200 dogs and cats and 1,430 other companion animals (birds, ferrets, gerbils, rabbits, rats) a humane release in 2010, you make no mention of the 100,000 shelter animals in North Carolina who are still being gassed to death every year.

No, you don't want to talk about the root of the problem. You just want to talk about the 3, 630 animals PETA humanely released from suffering.

You don't want to talk about why PETA picked up animals from North Carolina's Hertford, Bertie, or Northampton County shelters, where 100,000 animals are gassed every year.

PETA didn't take, steal, or act deceitfully regarding the animals' disposition, nor was PETA attempting to conceal the fact that they provide humane single injection euthanasia to animals who would've otherwise been gassed to death in a metal box struggling to breathe for 30 minutes until the poison suffocated them.

@LittleManine, Proctor was paid by PETA to euthanise animals at the Hertford County shelter once day per month. When the shelter could not house the large number of abandoned and sick animals to be euthanised, Hertford County called PETA to come and pick them up, which PETA did for a year before, taking the animals to their vet in Norfolk at their building headquarters, where the animals would be euthanised and the bodies stored in a freezer to prevent decompostion before cremation.

@LittleManine, PETA did not take healthy cats from the Ahoskie Animal Hospital owned by vet Patrick Proctor, who was on PETA's payroll paid to humanely euthanise animals at the Hertford County shelter, where gassing was taking place.

At trial, Dr. Proctor testified: "I told Reesie [Teresa Ray] that it was time for us to go ahead and move them [the three cats], so you can go ahead and call PETA."

Proctor wanted the cats out of his office, so he let PETA do his dirty work.

@CDLver I already dug up several of the articles I read when I was researching PETA's killing of healthy, adoptable animals. I read a whole lot more than that. But facts roll right off your back and revisiting this issue makes me ill. Obviously, I can't stop thinking about that momma and her two kittens. Cared for and prepared for adoption by the shelter, given to an "animal rights" group in good faith. And PETA keeps killing, but they've gotten smarter about dumping the victims. Over and out.

[LittleManine]

@CDLver All of which has nothing to do with PETA's criminal actions. At the time PETA took the healthy cats from the animal hospital from an employee, which I doubt was Lamb or Houser or anyone from the board, the local shelter offered euthanasia injections. But euthanasia wasn't necessary because the cats were healthy and ready for adoption. PETA killed them without attempting to get them adopted. The animals vets examined from that dump (one of many dumps) were healthy, adoptable and dead.

[LittleManine]

@CDLver If PETA is paying Dr. Proctor to perform this service, then why were they coming to the shelter and picking up ADOPTABLE animals that they then killed in the back of their van? Why were they picking up healthy animals from an animal hospital where employees had socialized them, fixed them, and given them their vaccinations? Why did they lie about their intentions? Why did they killed a healthy six month old puppy, among other healthy, adoptable animals?

[CDLver]

@LittleManine, please refer me to or cite your source for "accounts of individuals who couldn't keep a pet giving it to PETA believing that PETA really cares about animals so their pet wouldn't be killed. They were devastated when the media reported PETA's kill rate during the trial."

Animal guardians bring their companion animals to PETA not because PETA is an adoption agency, but because PETA provides FREE and HUMANE euthanasia to those who cannot afford this service at a private vet.
