PETA Killed 95% of Their Pets Last Year

While I generally make fun of PETA along with almost everyone else, I'm going to reserve judgment on this one. Googling only found that one source, plus the math doesn't work out.

If I've done my algebra correctly there were originally ~2236 pets (2124 being ~ 95% of 2236). 2236 original pets - 2124 killed pets leaves 112 not 7. I guess it's possible that the rest are still in holding but not placed. But the difference made me suspicious.
