Totally out of context!!!
Ok, I am not necessarily for or against PETA. I think they do good and bad things. BUT, I have always wondered about these quotes from petakillsanimals.com and if they had any truth. Well at least two of them were taken out of context. Observe quote from wikipedia on Ingrid Newkirk below:
Ingrid Newkirk: "I went to the front office all the time, and I would say, "John is kicking the dogs and putting them into freezers." Or I would say, "They are stepping on the animals, crushing them like grapes, and they don't care." In the end, I would go to work early, before anyone got there, and I would just kill the animals myself. Because I couldn't stand to let them go through that. I must have killed a thousand of them, sometimes dozens every day. Some of those people would take pleasure in making them suffer. Driving home every night, I would cry just thinking about it. And I just felt, to my bones, this cannot be right."
She blew the whistle on the shelter and became an animal-protection officer...."
She knew they were going to be killed anyway, and she would rather them have died a more peaceful death than how the other workers were going to do it.
EDIT: I am just glad she finally spoke out against them rather than continuing to work there...
EDIT: Here is the link explaining her reasons for why she worked there in the first place...
