Fellow blogger Moose over at Moosedroppings has had an apparent anti-hunter drop a comment on his blog claiming that hunters are responsible for the extinction of certain animals in the 21st century. Hats off to Moose for stepping up and taking the challenge that “Craig” put on the table. Be sure to check out the post and it’ll be interesting to see if/how “Craig” responds to this one.

The Center for Consumer Freedom announced last week that the People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals (PETA), filed a report with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, indicating the supposedly “ethical” group killed over 97% of the companion animals surrendered to the organization in 2006.

This places PETA at nearly three times the average euthanasia rate of local humane societies (34.7%) throughout Virginia. In all, the extremist animal rights organization killed nearly 3,000 animals in 2006 while only placing 12 pets into adoption that same year.

This news comes on the heels of a trial last year in which two PETA employees were convicted of dumping dead animals in a North Carolina dumpster. In a separate incident, another PETA employee is facing felony charges in Virginia in a separate dog-napping case.
