Re: [Felvtalk] I Hate PETA
Sharyl, I am so sorry about Butterball and Smoky Jo. And God, I hate PETA too, for so many reasons, this one above all They are a bunch of kooks. They are way over the top, and it would be really nice if we could exterminate anyone in PETA who is not in perfect health. Maybe then they would finally get the message. I can't imagine how you feel, and if I were in your shoes, I'm not sure I would be sane enough for a while to make any rational decisions because I would be so angry, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. Nothing angers me more than innocent animals being harmed. Again, I'm so sorry...

Re: [Felvtalk] I Hate PETA
Sharyl, PETA is terrible. I donated to them for years before I found out what they do to feral cats. I've horror stories about how they are out to exterminate all the feral cats they can. When I heard about the things they do to cats I e-mailed them and they admitted it. They said the cats were killed to spare them any suffering in the future!! I'm so sorry you had this happen to Smokey Jo and Butterball. I know you must feel just terrible about it.

Re: [Felvtalk] I Hate PETA
Sharyl, I am so, so sorry to hear this happened to your kitties; it's incredibly angering that PETA not only undermined your plans to give them a happy, healthy existence, but also absconded with your money. Like others on this list, I'm pretty sure they tested before performing the surgery, and so had no right to keep your payment-- especially after killing two cats that had a safe haven waiting for them!

I wouldn't give those people anything but a view of my backside as I walked out. There are low cost spay/neuter clinics all around...but sometimes you have to really search them out. I found a local organization that just does the surgery...they will test if I request it, but I don't. PETA doesn't want feral cats, but they don't think we should have them as prisoners in our homesgo figure. I am so sorry about your little ones, SharylI understand your pain and guilt.

I took Smokey Jo and Butterball. My other low cost speutering place had fallen through and the only other option is $200 per cat at the animal hospital. I knew PETA sucks but had no idea how bad. The release form I signed said they could kill any animal testing positive for FeLV or FIV. I explained to the vet I would sanctuary them if they tested positive in my garage/cat enclosure. She checked with her supervisor and told me no exceptions. I should have left then but both of mine seemed healthy. When I went to pick them up I found out they had killed both Smoky Jo and Butterball!! I am devastated. PETA has a real problem with feral cats. The only way they'll let their van spay/neuter ferals is if all who test positive for FeLV or FIV are killed. PETA's way of exterminating ferals I guess. Smoky Jo tested positive for FeLV and Butterball for FIV. What really burns me is the SNAP test used is not 100% for FeLV. Don't know about FIV. But FIV is generally spread by deep bites. Once Butterball was fixed he wouldn't be fighting anymore. Just PETA's way of 'thinning the herd' I guess. Then they kept my money. Needless to say I won't be going back unless I find a way around the PETA policy. The Spay the Shore guy is going to try and find a vet to pre-test any future ferals I trap. Then if they are positive for either I'll have to find some other way to have them fixed. I'm broken hearted. Those two kitties trusted me to do right by them. Neither was ill. And now they are gone. It rained all the way home. Almost like the heavens were crying with me for them. Please consider what PETA stands for before donating any money to them.

Re: [Felvtalk] I Hate PETA
Bless your heart. I suggest you find a female vet and maybe find one who already does low cost SN...maybe one who works with your shelter? Where do you live? (you can email me privately about that if you want).

I've rescued 16 other cats from this colony. I knew one family line had FeLV. I rescued all 8 of them and still have 3.

Re: [Felvtalk] I Hate PETA
Oh, Sharyl! This is just so sad and pointless. But a really hard learning experience, I guess, about PETA's practices. I know Butterball and Smoky Jo know you were trying to help them. Gentle Bridge vibes to both of them, and solace to you. I'm grieving with you.

Re: [Felvtalk] I Hate PETA
Is it just me, or does anyone else think maybe PETA killed these cats regardless of their test results. In other words, is it possible the cats didn't test positive for anything but feral, so was an excuse to kill them? Sharyl, I am so very sorry.
