N.C. Counties Say PETA Euthanizes Animals
Thursday, June 23, 2005
(06-23) 08:55 PDT Norfolk, Va. (AP) --Two North Carolina counties have stopped turning over shelter animals to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, saying they were surprised the group euthanized cats and dogs instead of trying to find them homes.
Isn't it PETA that says that animals have the same rights as humans? Was it not a PETA honcho who famously said "A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy"?
So is today Point Out Hypocrisy Day here on Right On The Left Coast, or what??? I need a root beer float.

Cold, hard, reality meets sanctimonious preaching like a truck meeting a deer:
Northampton County health director Sue Gay said she assumed the same. The counties learned that most animals instead had been euthanized after two PETA workers were arrested and charged with dumping dead animals in a shopping center's garbage bins.
ouch. Whilst I'm not exactly unsympathetic to the notion of humane treatment of animals, the kind of preaching from PETA and their ilk doesn't sit easily with me. Apparently they have an occasional brush with reality now and again too..

Agree completely.
And I never did get that root beer float.
The view that it's "nutty and left-winged", henny, is well-earned. If PETA is starting to turn less confrontational (throwing paint on fur coats) and more rational, good on them.
They've made their bed, now they have to sleep in it for awhile. They have to climb out of the hole they've dug for themselves. Any other cliches I can come up with?
