This is an attempt to summarise in an infographic what PETA stands for based on their literature given to me. I wholly support PETA. I believe that there are a lot of misconceptions expressed on the internet about PETA by well-intentioned people who may have got the wrong end of the stick. And I …

“PETA’s position has never been that all feral cats should be euthanized.” The Infographic above explains PETA’s policy on TNR and feral cats in general.
