Well, their adoption rate is tragically low. No-kill or not, I can't figure out an excuse for this and fail to see anything reasonable about it. When other shelters with much less money have a much higher adoption rate, something is amiss.
But when people talk about them killing animals, they probably are referring to this infamous incident:http://www.seattledogspot.com/blog/2011 ... n-garbage/
Yesterday marked the sixth anniversary of the arrest of 2 employees of the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for throwing the bodies of 21 dogs and cats that they promised to find homes for in a garbage dumpster. The employees picked up the animals from an animal shelter in Bertie County, NC as they did every Wednesday, under the guise that they would find homes for them.
But that’s not what happened.
Instead, PETA employees gave the animals a lethal injection of sodium pentobarbital. After killing them, they drove to a Piggly Wiggly store, put the animals in trash bags, and threw them in a dumpster.
