It looks to me that the initial story in this discussion is right from a CCF press release from earlier this year:
http://www.consumerfreedom.com/press...fm/release/258
It it completely accurate? biased? fudging the numbers? I dont know.
Are the other sources with similar numbers, beyond PETA's own admissions of euthanize animals, relying on the same CCF press release. I dont know.
I think the source of the story is relevant.
