Michael Vick is to Amateur, what PETA is to Pro

SCORE:

PETA - 21,339









Michael Vick - 7 (approximately)

But Michael Vick is still having a pretty good week.



According to the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), PETA is not too big on adoption.

"According to public records from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA killed 2,124 pets last year and placed only seven in adoptive homes. Since 1998, a total of 21,339 dogs and cats have died at the hands of PETA workers.

Despite having a $32 million budget, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter."


Seven adoptions! Hey, that was Mike's football number (and approximately how many dogs he admitted to killing)! At least PETA's not doing anything crazy like wearing fur or testing diabetes medication on animals.

Read the whole story (and see the actual documents) here.

On Aug. 13, PETA signed a two-year deal with every NFl team that has an animal as its mascot (except the Eagles) reportedly worth $1.6 million with an option for a second year for $5.2 million with $3 million in incentives.
