I don't put a whole ton of trust in what a PETA spokesperson has to say about what's actually going on inside PETA. Something about their claim to be the last "kill" shelter in the area sounds off to me, and I'm really interested to know how many animals are actually adopted from them.

PETA picked up animals from other shelters under the pretense of finding them homes, then euthanized them and dumped the bodies in a shopping center dumpster. Which means that their self-reported kill percentage is likely WAY higher. www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna8255324
