I love it when people say this without even suggesting where to do this research. Let me guess- Google it. Because that's what I already did.
There's the approach I have to fact-check things, I don't know what other approach people have honestly. Look up fact-checking, debunking etc. on it. I know there are dozens to hundreds of pages that fact-check the parroted "PETA euthanizes too many dogs" claim. I honestly can't believe people are still bringing this one up, I don't know how it could possibly be on me to start digging up sources for you.
"Just look it up until a fringe source from an unknown media group ""debunks"" it, despite the mountains of evidence to the contrary, then change your entire point of view from it" in other words: just google the opposite of what you said and go with that answer plz thx. Color me convinced! For the record: every fact check I looked up corroborated the obvious: PETA euthanizes pets at an obscene rate compared to even the most ruthless pounds in the us.
No, look up individual claims, look up the inverse of the claim, weigh the presented evidence against each other.
I.e., look up the mitigating factors here - was this an isolated case? Was it isolated to one state? Were animals from no-kill shelters dumped on the PETA-run shelter? What's the actual funding of this shelter compared to PETA's general operations? You know, ACTUAL THOROUGH ANALYSIS. Take the actual facts in question and put them properly in context instead of just swallowing literal animal ag industry propaganda coming out of groups like the Weston Price Foundation that have a vested interest in discrediting groups like PETA.
It's like every time people post something false, and you know it's false, you can't just let them know, they expect you to spend the next two hours of your life pulling up all the sources to show them, again and again and again and again and again and again. I've had this exact same conversation dozens of times, I'm sick of it. Can you not just learn how to research for yourself? Can you not post the discredited claim in the first place so we don't have to constantly play this game? Like, do the fact checking properly in the first place?
seems like you know how to avoid this, but you choose instead to get mad at people asking you to support your own claims.
