Dear Councilmembers:
I’m writing on behalf of the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom
to request you put Norfolk in the spotlight and promote kindness to animals and
raise awareness of unethical conduct. You can do this by renaming Front Street
“PETA Kills Avenue.”
For years, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has killed
cats and dogs by the thousands at its headquarters, located at 501 Front St.
Unlike the countless shelters that provide essential service and
care to animals in need, PETA’s “shelter” on Front Street euthanizes the vast majority
of the animals the organization receives. In fact, killing animals seems to be
the main purpose of PETA’s so-called shelter, as no adoption hours are posted
nor are animals advertised on the organization’s site. Tax records show PETA
even has a walk-in freezer to store the corpses.
PETA’s president is Ingrid Newkirk. She has said, “I think it
would be lovely if we stopped this whole notion of pets altogether,” and has
advocated for the killing of all stray cats and the total eradication of pit
bulls.
PETA has even gone so far as to steal and kill a 9 year-old girl’s
healthy pet dog in 2014 in the Eastern Shore. PETA eventually paid $50,000 to
settle this case.
Last year, according to public records filed with VDACS, PETA
killed more than 1,800 cats and dogs and only adopted out 44. In some years,
PETA’s kill rate has been higher than 90%.
Animal lovers are shocked and outraged by PETA’s pro-killing
attitude. Renaming Front Street to “PETA Kills Avenue” is a way to share this
essential information with all people who love their pets and who may one day
have to drop their pet off at a shelter.
Other possibilities for your consideration include “Butcher
Street” and “Serial Killer Way.”
By simply changing the street name, Norfolk can raise awareness of
this cruelty and remind everyone to stay away from this horrid shelter.
Please let me know your decision.
