My 2009 post calling PeTA's "shelter" a slaughter house, and asking how it could possibly meet Virginia state regulations and standards, seems to have triggered an inspection by the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Office of Veterinary Services in 2010.
That would have been good, if anything had actually been done. It wasn't.
Why?
So how does the PeTA Slaughter House still stay in business?
The answer is that the terms "shelter" and "humane society" are not codified in the state of Virginia and so they can mean anything and nothing. They do not mean "adoption facility" and can just as easily be used to label a slaughter house, as PeTA does, as a true No Kill or Low-Kill facility.

I have two step-children who loudly proclaim their deep, unending love for their pit/heeler, GSD/heeler apartment dogs. They religiously take them to the vet for their six-month physical, have their teeth cleaned annually,and walk them daily on their extendo leashes.
Both steps follow all park regs and never let their dogs off leash. They can't, because the pit/heeler runs home and the GSD/heeler bites dogs and people with equal abandon.
Neither dog has a recall, but they wear bandannas well.
They both contribute large sums of money to P.E.T.A.
I have never said a word.
I am, however, sharing this post on my facebook page. They both read it.
Thank you.
