PETA Employees on Trial In North Carolina for Promising to Find Homes for Dogs, Then Murdering Them
Christy, Shakespeare’s furmom, barked in to alert us to the current trial of two PETA employees who promised to find homes for dogs, then killed them instead.
Hi Joy,
There’s a trial going on this week for two peta employees who “rescued” animals from NC shelters with the promise to find them new homes, and then instead, they euthanized the animals and tossed them, in trash bags, into a shopping center dumpster.
(Personal rant: How hypocritical and unethical is this?!? Let’s save chickens and cows but kill homeless, helpless animals! They could use their resources on better things, like spaying and neutering animals, helping shut down puppy mills, donating money to shelters for improvements, etc. Anyhoo.)Myself and other Dogsters have been following the trial on the Dog Laws and Legislation Forum from this web site and it’s just horrifying. Dogster Kolbe posted a quote from Day 9 that will just make you want to cry.
(Even if you find the peta Kills Animals site too “biased” to post on your blog, there are links to other media outlets that you can read the story on.)
I don”t think this trial has gotten national news coverage, but it should. I think your blog would be a great way to spread the word to other animal lovers.
Thank you for reading this.
Here’s a link to recent article on the trial in Myrtle Beach Online.
I understand that not every dog can be saved but I don’t understand how a group like PETA can dispose of these animals so inhumanely and try to get by on such a flimsy excuse. Clearly their operations need to be investigated from top to bottom.
Unbelieveable, I’ve had my suspisions about this group for a long time. Most of the things that they do are unethical but this one takes the cake. I was at a dog show in Philadelphia oh many years ago when PETA came in and released as many dogs from their crates as they possibly could. The mayham was awful, A German Shepered had a lttle poodle in his mouth running around so many dogs just all over the place.Owners chasing after their dogs. They didn’t get to my crates but I was helping everyone else to try and round up all the dogs. With a little luck we finally had the situation under control PETA for the most part does more harm than good. They really donot understand. An investigation of their organization is well overdue.
Trial update: PETA WORKERS CLEARED OF ANIMAL CRUELTY CHARGES
They received a mere slap on the wrist. This is such an outrage. I can’t even tell you what I’d like to do to these two murdering PETA scumbags. We need to let PETA have it — with both barrels — for the scores of innocent lives they have needlessly taken and then callously tossed into into a dumpster.

And for those of you who don’t know, PETA also supports the Denver ban and slaughter of Pit Bulls an related bully breeds, and encourages other cities to follow Denver’s example.
If all you folks in N. Carolina are so concerned, where were you all when these animals needed help? People who sit on their butts and do nothing are always the first to point fingers. Nevertheless, this should be investigated. PETA has done great work in reducing animal cruelty in all areas but it does not mean they are perfect and that certain employees may screw up. In the meantime, like I said, put your lazy butts where your mouth is and do something about all these unwanted animals yourself, THEN you can complain.
Gatomama,
Thanks for barking in and in most cases I would side with you that the finger pointers are the least likely to get active. But in this case, I’ll have to defend the other writers. Most of those who do bark in to this blog are active at some level in their communities. Many of them spend a lot of time, energy and money saving abandoned dogs and cats. This is the proberbial church choir (as in preaching to the church choir).
While I agree that PETA has done some good things for animals, some of PETA’s members have also done some terrible things in PETA’s name. Just because a group does some good does not excuse them from being punished for something this horrid. They knowingly betrayed the trust of many people and pets. For that, these PETA members and whoever approved their actions need to be brought up short.
You don’t understand how PeTA defines “rescue”. Those chickens and rabbits and whatever else they “rescue” end up dead. Life is an evil ordeal, and PeTA believes that a peaceful death is best for all animals associated with humans. So when you hear that they “resuced” some minks, or chickens or what have you…..be certain that they are in animal heaven. PeTA even has their own state of the art, top-notch, crematorium to handle the 93% plus rescued animals. Very sick philosophy, indeed.
Thank you so much for posting this. A lot of people are baffled by this and I was too, until I read more into the organization. Ingrid Newkirk herself has stated “We are not in the home finding business. Our service is to provide a painless death to animals who no one wants” (The Virginia Pilot, Huly 20, 2005).
But you must understand, PeTA is an Animal Rights group and feels that animals would be better off dead than living with humans or as their president (Ingrid) calls us “the blight of this earth”.
I recommend everyone watch this video, it explains alot about why this organization did what they did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itswGWddk2A
