In reply to the discussion: AOC cooking in a Tax The Rich sweatshirt, breaking down the COVID economic relief bill [View all]Autumn

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 owners 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.

The PETA letter to A0C was not about dog breeders. It was about passing up shelter pets

The heart wants what the heart wants. You don't want to buy from a breeder? Don't.

I've got the money to buy those kinds of dogs, but every animal I've ever had is a rescue.

If people would stop buying expensive animals from breeders they'd stop breeding them.

The PETA press release is from January 2020, so A0C bought the purebred-inbred before the pandemic.

It's pretty obvious that neither the tweet nor the OP is about an issue as much as about a person.
