Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Could be both- it really depends on which organization we're speaking of.

Did you have any particular groups in mind when you posted this? If so, which? (Links are nice)

Wasn't it PETA employees that were caught not too long ago tossing bags of dog & cat carcasses into a garbage dumpster in the middle of the night (out of the back of a PETA registered van)? Those were animals that were "rescued" from animal shelters, euthanized immediately, and discarded.

I can't believe PETA doesn't give these animals another chance... it's a shame.

Do some investigating - PETA has a lower adoption rate than most shelters...but a good part of their donated income comes for the care and maintenance of "rescued" animals. The number of animals they admit to euthanizing each year is staggering.

I searched 'em on Wikipedia and found this:

According to the Wally Swett, President of Primarily Primates, PETA killed 1,946 pets in its home state of Virginia in 2005, transferring or adopting out 215, and killed 141 wild animals in the same year, transferring or releasing 52. In 2004, PETA killed 2278 animals while finding homes for 368 animals. Columnist Debra J. Saunders of the San Francisco Chronicle, quoting the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) data based on PETA's filing with the state of Virginia, has said that PETA killed over 10,000 animals from 1998 to 2003.

Wow, 10,000 animals in 5 years.

It was big news around here when it happened. PETA is headquartered right here in Norfolk, VA.
On another note, Sammy, tell us how you really feel... 
Foe, BTW.
