Two employees of PETA, aka “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals” were recently charged with 31 felony counts of animal cruelty after authorities found them dumping the dead bodies of 18 animals they had just picked up from a North Carolina animal shelter into a dumpster. This news might be shocking if your idea of ethical treatment includes fighting for life, but it appears that PETA is soaked in a disturbing culture of death.
That is, PETA appears to think that if the animals cannot have the life that they think they should have, then it is ok to kill them. Debra Saunders from the SF Chronicle has a good piece outlining how often PETA has killed animals in the name of “helping” them.
