In fact, if you've been following my blog for more than a week, you'd know that I'm no fan of PETA. (The Vegans Against PETA graphic in the sidebar says it all, I think.) As for shelters "selling" animals to stay open: while property rights regarding rescued Katrina animals are certainly an issue (which the film may or may not cover - I can't say, as I've yet to see it), you're deluding yourself if you think that most animal shelters operate on anything but a shoestring budget. There's no more profit in rescuing animals than there is in providing abortions. (I mention the latter because the same sort of untruths are spread about abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood - i.e., that they're only "in it for the money.")

I'll pass. Pray you'renever in any disaster if you trust FEMA not to put you into an offgassing trailer that creates illness. We have an upscale travel trailer and the directions clearly reflect the dangers of off gassing. If you have a conscience have you ever thought about the Katrina survivors who were sent to all 50 states and possessions--one way and still can't get back to New Orleans? You might love, but I find light years beyond ghoulish the organizations that made no serious efforts to find animal owners, but went straight to gonad gutting all possible animals then transported them many states away to whatever "shelter" needed animals to sell to keep open. God gave us a brain; use it to think with and quit being so easily brainwashed by propaganda.
