From the Daily Caller:
PETA euthanized 1,411 cats and dogs last year, while only 57 were adopted, according to a report by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS). Of the 2,007 animals acquired by PETA last year, the group only returned 10 dogs and cats to their owners and successfully placed only 57 with adopting families.
