PETA's euthanasia rates have critics fuming, according to AOL News, and rightfully so.

“In 2009, PETA euthanized 2,301 dogs and cats -- 97 percent of those brought in -- and adopted only eight, according to Virginia state figures. And the rate of these killings has been increasing.”

That’s 2352 animals: 681 dogs, 1620 cats and 51 other companion animals.

A mere eight of them were saved. Read more.

These are the same folks who try to make me feel guilty for enjoying a hamburger, but they're gassing kittens? By the way the dog in the above picture is available for adoption at SCRAPS.

What would you like to say to the folks at PETA?
