Hey all! I decided to join the PETA Pack and train for a half marathon with a fundraising goal of $500 for PETA's search and rescue team for abused animals. I thought you would be a good group to ask for help. The link below is for my fundraising page and 100% goes to the animals. If you want to join the pack and run/fund raise on your own there are links for that on the page as well. Thanks!

    They kill more than half the animals they claim to save. Also, they're hypocrites and their tactics are nothing more than for shock.

    They also support terrorist.
    And one year the killed over 90% of the animals they "saved" some were killed before they even made it to their shelter.
    They have goals to eliminate pet ownership entirely so does HSUS. Which is why I don't support either.

    Wow... Really.... I'm going to research this more... I do know their tactics are very disturbing... And I did have to ignor the emails and videos they send. Talk about ruining my day... I can't watch or read those anymore.. Or I'd be crying 24 hrs a day, everyday. Arrrgh...

    Many animal lovers say the Humane Society of the United States is no better.
    IMHO, you can't go wrong by donating directly to your favorite rescue and local animal shelters. Keeps the money in your local community, and helps animals that need it most.

    Give to SPCA. PETA hates humans, especially Americans.
