30. Doesn't matter when she bought it. She bought it because she wanted it. Don't like it

change it. Maybe PETA should concentrate on working to get legislation to do away with dog breeders instard of what they are doing. I get it, you don't like her sweatshirt, you think it's over prived and are upset that it's not taxed, like any other clothing in NYS under $110, you don't like her buying a dog and I'm sure there's more about her you don't like but that conversation would take all day and I've wasted enough time this morning. You have a nice day.

1. PETA kills tens of thousands of pets and domestic animals

Despite advocating for the rights of animals, PETA has one of the largest kill shelters in America. In 2016, 71.9% of cats and dogs taken in by PETA were euthanized, and only 2.9% were adopted. Additionally, from 2003 to 2013, a total of 29,426 domestic animals such as dogs, cats and rabbits were killed by PETA. Not to mention that various instances have come to light where pets were forcibly taken and euthanized without their owner’s consent. This certainly is a disgustingly high amount of domestic animals being killed for an organisation who claims to not only be in support of animal rights, but whose primary mission with their animal shelters is to find a permanent home for pets.
