PETA is promoting adoptions in anticipation of the release of their 2024 statistics, which historically show high rates of animal euthanasia. The No Kill Companion (2025 Edition) is now available, providing a comprehensive guide to animal shelter issues for stakeholders. A lawsuit against PETA revealed that they have killed over 48,000 dogs and cats, despite promoting spay/neuter and adoption.
In addition to PETA’s controversial practices, a lawsuit accuses a local “shelter” of improper cat killing, highlighting ongoing issues in animal protection. The latest city has banned pet store sales of milled pets, while wildlife rehabilitation centers and government institutions continue to struggle with animal welfare. The end of horse racing in Northern California is also within reach, as communities seek individuals to run or help run animal shelters.
The 2024 statistics for PETA are expected to be released soon, revealing the organization’s euthanasia rates and sparking debate over their practices. The No Kill Companion offers updated information on animal shelter issues, including model legislation and shelter assessment tools. Despite efforts to promote adoption and spay/neuter, PETA’s history of high euthanasia rates continues to be a point of contention in the animal protection community.
