That is an interesting idea. I have wondered what they think the future holds for their organization. The No Kill movement is here to stay and ending shelter killing is in the near future. Anyone of normal intelligence can see that. The continued killing(which they could easily just stop doing by ending the program or adopting the animals out)especially in the face of public exposure and condemnation, is just pathological. What happens when public awareness of the real PETA reaches critical mass? What happens when the majority of communities in the US have gone No Kill? What is the endgame for this? Will PETA change and get on board (which would certainly require an overhaul of leadership)? Or will it implode spectacularly? Get swallowed up by HSUS? Slouch into obscurity?

I can say this because I am a mental health professional. Ingrid of PETA appears to be a malignant borderline personality who wants to take down the very organization she built so no one can have it after she dies. She should be identified as a person who has lost her reason and should not be allowed to be in the presence of anything that cannot defend itself from her insanity.

That should read the kill rate for Columbus, GA in 2011 is 74%.

Thank you for this well presented and detailed accounting. The more pressure we put on the city to stop listening to PETA and start listening to the citizens that want things to change the faster we will be able to save the lives of these precious animals. The numbers are in and in 2011 the kill rate was 74%.
