Recently I contacted PETA about the animal cruelty case on Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook. I received a “form response” reply. I read it and couldn't believe what was said. Here are a few samples…
It is our policy that the vast majority of animals we accept are only those who are in terrible conditions or unadoptable for some reason, such as aggression or sickness in old age.
Have you looked at the picture of the dead puppies or checked out WWW.PETAKILLSANIMALS.COM? All the crime scene photos are of young cats and dogs.
The report from North Carolina regarding the dumping of animal bodies in a dumpster by a PETA staff member is deeply upsetting. It is against PETA's policy to put the bodies of euthanized animals in dumpsters, as you might imagine, and we are appalled that a member of our staff apparently did that. Despite the fact that we know this woman to be a caring soul and someone who has done much selfless work to help animals, there is no excuse for what happened, and she is no longer working with us.
What about Scott.
Every news report that I've read stated that PETA would not confirm or deny weather they were still working for them.
We are a “shelter of last resort,” offering a humane death to animals who would otherwise suffer a slow and painful end.
HEY!! What's up with the sudden change?! Bruce Friedrich-PETA campaign coordinator says.. "If we really believe that these animals do have the same right to be free from pain and suffering at our hands, then of course we're going to be, as a movement, blowing stuff up and smashing windows. For the record, I don't do this stuff, but I do advocate it. ... I think it would be a great thing if, you know, all of the fast-food outlets, and these slaughterhouses, and these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I think it's perfectly appropriate."
Like you, we wish that there were other acceptable options available. We cannot bring the majority of animals back to Virginia for placement.
Last year PETA's Virginia facility Found homes for 146 pets and put to death 1946. They also relocated or released 52 wild animals but put to death 141.
PETA has always spoken openly about euthanasia on our Web site and in our publications.
I have been all over their sites, doing research and NEVER have I seen that in print.
Lets face it folks PETA lies. It's no secret that PETA preaches no pain, suffering or death to animals. Yet they admit it at the same time, PETA must be confused.
On the morning of June 15, 2005, Andrew Cook and Adria Hinkle, two employees of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) were arrested in Ahoskie, North Carolina, and charged with cruelty to animals. A Grand Jury later indicted each defendant on 21 felony counts of Animal Cruelty and 3 counts of Obtaining Property by
False Pretenses. Cook and Hinkle are expected to face a trial in Hertford County Superior Court in May 2006. Local authorities told Greenville’s WNCT-TV News that they had found more than 70 additional dead animals that may be connected to PETA.
Not a place I would want to spend my last moments. notice the inset, a copy of PETA's Kind News.
Remember, PETA employees did this.
The tackle box of death
PETA’s new numbers are in and they are disgusting. In 2005 PETA killed 1,946 cats, dogs and other pets in Virginia. They also killed 141 wild animals. That makes PETA’s kill rate 90% for the year, up from 86% last year.
You think I’m making all this up? Check out this link, its to the Virginia Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services online animal reporting….
Judge Grant sentenced them to a years supervised probation, 50 hours community service and suspended a 10 day jail term. They must also pay a $1,000 fine each and split $5,970 restitution to the town for expenses in cleaning the crime scene, storing the van and burying the animals. PeTA wont be getting their van back. The town has confiscated it. An important thing to remember here is that not once during this trial did PeTA deny killing these pets. As a matter of a fact they admitted it. PETA manager Dapha Nachminovitch confirmed that, yes, PETA does kill animals. As of March 11
PeTA's 2006 animal report to the state of Virginia has yet to be submitted. It was due Jan 31.
