Where to start...
Don't believe every spam email you get. This was put out by a propaganda machine, The Center for Consumer Freedom, run by this guy:

The whole thing reads like a middle school prank. Just look at reason #10 again. "She was also sterilized..." Jebus, who talks like that? (Nazis) Many members (so to speak) of STR have had vasectomies. Does that mean they all "oppose giving birth"? And so what if they did?
A quick internet search turned up this rebuttal:
But the CCF is only telling half the truth. Source Watch, a project of the Center for Media and Democracy, tells a more accurate story.
In 2000, PETA was contacted by a police officer concerned about the suffering of animals in local North Carolina shelters, many of which were nothing more than exposed shacks. PETA conducted cruelty investigations and got involved in assisting these shelters with cleaning, adoptions, training, staff, and supplies. Many pounds in the area had no adoption programs or even operating hours. Unwanted animals were shot, gassed in metal boxes, or injected with a paralytic agent that caused them to suffocate. This had been happening for decades until PETA stepped in and provided humane euthanasia services.
Just a thought: I thought this thread was supposed to be for fun/funny posts. There's enough negative stuff on the site already.
