PETA operates one small shelter—a shelter of last resort for animals who need euthanasia to end their suffering (many of whom have been rejected by other facilities). This includes dogs who are aggressive and unadoptable because they have been kept chained their entire lives; feral cats dying of contagious diseases; animals who are wracked with cancer; elderly animals who have no quality of life and whose desperate guardians brought them to PETA because they can’t afford to pay a vet to euthanize them; and the list goes on. A painless end is a kindness for these animals, and the services PETA provides are vitally needed in an area where many people can’t afford to take their animals to a veterinarian.

Wow. It seems the NIH will go to great lengths to keep people ignorant of the truth, including that billions of dollars every year—nearly half of NIH’s budget—fund painful and deadly experiments on animals, even though the NIH itself admits that the failure rate of drugs tested on animals is over 95%.
The law recognizes that whoever takes a photo owns the copyright. It doesn’t hinge on the photographer’s age, gender, race, or even species. If a human took this photo there would be no question that the photographer owns it. That doesn’t change just because Naruto is a macaque. If the lawsuit succeeds, it would be groundbreaking—the first time an animal is declared the rightful owner of property, instead of being considered property themselves.

PETA’s financial info is public for anyone to see, and there’s nothing to hide: http://features.peta.org/Annual-Review-2015/year.aspx The staff, including the president of the organization, makes very modest salaries, and more than 82% of PETA’s operating expenses in 2015 went directly to their programs fighting animal exploitation.
