Christine Dorchak's Hypocrisy

Christine Dorchak, President & General Counsel of Grey2K USA (Grey2K), has a history of protesting and has been a card carrying member of PeTA, an organization with a very bloody history.

Christine Dorchak a PeTA Protester

Back in 1998, as a member / supporter of PeTA, she was protesting the New England Aquarium having fish on its cafe menu. The menu at that time had 37 selections, 10 of which were either fish, crab or shrimp including tuna salad, fish sticks, and a fish sandwich. Their banquet menu had entrees with sole, salmon, crab, shrimp, and lobster sauce.  There were vegetarian (vegan) alternatives on the day menu: veggie burgers and peanut butter & jelly, and grilled cheese sandwiches.  To me, it seems that this is, yet again, zealots overreacting and making much ado about nothing.  Why? Because, PeTA wants the aquarium to adopt a vegetarian menu with fake seafood, such as tuna and salmon made from soybeans

Now then, in 1998, as the protest was going on at the Aquarium because of seafood being on their menu, PeTA at the Norfolk office in Virginia was killing animals. Since the 2nd half of 1998, a total of 27,751 pets have died at the hands of PETA workers. That number is verifiable by tallying PeTA's own numbers submitted to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

From 7/1/98 to 12/31/98, PeTA took in 1,041 animals at their "shelter".  That number included: 210 dogs, 793 cats, 35 "other" companion animals, 2 equines, and 1 poultry.  98 animals were reclaimed by their owners, leaving 943 animals available for placement. Of the 943, PeTA killed 685 of them - 73% - and that is for 6 months! 


Since then, that kill percentage has risen dramatically.


1998 - 73%* (6 months)
1999 - 76%
2000 - 76%
2001 - 72%
2002 - 86%
2003 - 86%
2004 - 86%
2005 - 90%
2006 - 97%
2007 - 91%
2008 - 95%
2009 - 97%

Compare these high KILL RATES up to 97% for PeTA, supported by Christine Dorchak, against the estimated greyhound adoption rate of greater than 90% of adoptable greyhounds! Why isn't Christine and Grey2K protesting PeTA???  Seems to me that Christine is engaging in a classic case of favoritism since she & Ingrid Newkirk are best buds.  

Greyhounds certainly don't need or deserve an "advocate" that advocates killing!
