No actually the data for each and every shelter, rescue, pound or animal control facility in VA is readily available online, going back several years. Here's a link to their database:

http://www.virginia.gov/vdacs_ar/cgi-bin/Vdacs_search.cgi?

So, you see, the anti-PETA bunch could have easily done some homework and seen that yes, many organizations do a stellar job, but there are also plenty that have absolutely horrible records. Given that some of the worst offenders (aside from PETA) are in sparsely populated, poorly funded locations and may still use inhumane euthanasia techniques, PETA may actually come up smelling like roses in some respects.

Really, making assumptions does not reinforce anyone's argument.

In fact, resorting to using the same sort of distortion, rumor mongering, and hyperbole that PETA uses diminishes the credibility of their opponents.
