PETA, the vile 'animal rights' organisation, were on the warpath when they learnt about the new addition to the Biden family. Joe Biden had bought his new puppy from a breeder, not an animal shelter as PETA encouraged.
This inspired them to blow some of their annual $30 million budget on a series of controversial ads with the slogan 'Buy One, Get One Killed.'
In the words of PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk: "Buying from a breeder kills a shelter dog's chance of being adopted. Four million unadopted animals are killed in shelters every year."
As is typical for PETA, their campaign is wildly hypocritical. While the message about adopting animals is correct, what Newkirk and Co. fail to mention is that PETA itself is the leading killer of shelter animals in the United States.
Despite having an annual budget in the tens of millions, PETA execute over 90% of all animals brought to their PETA adoption centers. Compare that to the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who have a shoestring budget compared to PETA, yet successfully re-home 70% of animals brought to their shelter.
PETA is in a better situation than any so-called humane organization in America to actually save animals lives - yet they prefer to spend their budget on adverts encouraging children to give up eating meat, or abandon drinking milk.
To criticize the Bidens for not adopting a shelter pet is disgusting, considering that PETA murdered over 20,000 shelter animals in recent years.
PETA's cruelty towards animals is unprecedented. In 2007, two PETA employees (Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook) went around the Virginia area visiting local animal shelters and taking healthy cats and dogs from them to 'rehome.'
After loading up 80 pets in their van (including 'Happy', a puppy belonging to Animal Control Officer Barry Anderson, who made Hinkle promise that the puppy would be re-homed and not 'put down') Hinkle and Cook idled their van in the parking lot of that same shelter and began systematically exterminating all of the animals with a (highly illegal) lethal injection.
Within twenty minutes of promising to rehome all these animals, the two PETA employees had killed every last one of them. They then proceeded to dump the bodies in the dumpster of a local Chinese restaurant, rather than dispose of the murdered animals properly.
Here are the results of PETA's handiwork:

So when Ingrid E. Newkirk warns that buying a puppy kills a shelter dog's chances of adoption, what she fails to mention that PETA will be doing the killing.
PETA are an absolute disgrace and anybody who donates money to them is contributing to animal cruelty.
