This is so outrageous that I had to check it on snopes.com
I didn’t find anything. :eek:
That’s pretty old article from back in April. Nathan Winograd is not what he seems. I am not excusing PETA for some of the positions they take, but there is more to that story than appears.

I noticed that the original article was from back in April. I wonder why The Huffington Post chose to post it today? I didn’t doubt that there was more to the story. I just couldn’t find it. Thanks.

Nothing going on I suppose, and the holiday begging season is about to kick off full swing.
Not sure what you are looking for though.
PETA killing pets is an old hat.
The obtaining of pets under false pretenses blew up in their face a few years back. But it would not surprise me if they were still doing this.
The ONLY ‘shelter’ they run is on record with the state officials for killing most animals that come through their doors. That’s papers filed with the state, not something a paper makes up to get a rise out of it.
Now, PETA has enough money, if any of the allegations were false, you know some lawyer would earn her granola in a very big way over this!
That was old “news” years ago. I think the guy has an ax to grind against the organization, but I have no idea how much was truth, if any.
I like PETA because they scare the shiet out of people who are less than caring about the animals in their care.
Hermein: Be careful this is an anti-PETA venue…and you better be pro-carriage horse business as well.

Thanks for the link. I hadn’t seen it before.
Thx for the warning, stolen virtue. :winkgrin:
However, I truly believe in, and practice, a little bat-shit craziness when all else fails; so I have something in common with the PETA sisterhood.

It’s true. You can look up the court case in NC, for one, which found PETA employees (who lived in VA) guilty of “littering” for dumping 21 dead animals - they admitted they’d used that same dumpster before to dump even more dead animals. You can continue to like PETA, but you can no longer deny the truth of their murdering ways. The littering conviction was overturned later because, after all, they did use the dumpster. Which is really odd, because if a non-PETA person dumped a dead animal in a dumpster they’d be in trouble.
Anyhow, the animal shelter which gave the animals to PETA said they were told the animals would be re-homed - there was nothing wrong with them at all, just the shelter was overcrowded. PETA killed the animals, all of them, within a few hours, perhaps within 30 minutes, of loading up these poor joyful puppies & kittens on their way to a new beginning. PETA people should burn in hell. Darn right I’m anti-PETA.
http://www.examiner.com/article/peta-employees-prosecution-exposed-a-shocking-and-deadly-practice
"Hinkle and Cook were making trips from PETA headquarters in Virginia to Eastern North Carolina veterinarian offices, and obtaining animals under the guise of adoption assistance. Once the pair had their PETA van loaded with dogs and cats in need of good homes, they administered lethal injections to the abandoned pets. They would then pull up to a dumpster and toss the still warm bodies.
"Over a two-year period, Ahoskie Animal Hospital released 50 animals to PETA. Upon learning of the charges, Dr. Patrick Proctor, DVM was particularly upset over the loss of a mom and her two kittens (he had recently turned the cats over to Hinkle and Cook). “These were just kittens we were trying to find homes for,” said Proctor. “PETA said they would do that, but these cats never made it out of the county.” Dr. Proctor went on to vow that “PETA will never pick up another animal from my practice.”
"PETA was also picking up animals from the veterinary practice of Dr. James Brown in Northampton County, N.C. Dr. Brown was shocked by the actions of PETA. He told the Virginian-Pilot: “When they started taking them, they said they would try to find homes for them. Nobody ever checked on them.”
“During their Feb. 2007 trial, testimony revealed that for nearly seven years, PETA collected and killed dozens of animals from North Carolina shelters and animal control bureaus. Ordinarily, they would take the remains back to PETA headquaters in Norfolk, where they are cremated. However, Hinkle admitted that on many of those trips, they simply tossed the bodies into the dumpster behind a Piggly Wiggly supermarket.”
So you publish naked pictures of yourself and kill little puppies Hermein?
:lol:
Hi Alagirl 
A minor correction or two! PETA was not a defendant in the case you’re referring to. And the actual defendants in that case were found not guilty of obtaining animals under false pretenses. In fact, they were exonerated of all the charges against them.
Hi Anne
That was certainly a hard time for PETA, but the organization was never a defendant in the case, and the actual defendants were exonerated of all the charges against them. A pretty important detail, if you ask me.
There are a lot of other important details too, like why PETA was in NC in the first place, and that the organization actually did find homes for a lot of North Carolina pound animals. There’s a lot more to the story. You can learn more here:

The PETA employees under oath admitted to the frequent killing of animals. The loaded syringes were in the van with them and their own testimony explains how they worked: how they’d pick up the animals, put blankets down, and euthanize away.
All you have to do is read what PETA employees themselves say. They admit killing the animals placed in their care. It’s no mystery, it’s no secret, it’s not hidden.
So for anyone in NC or VA, if you put down one of your animals yourself - which is illegal in so many places now - apparently all you have to do is say you work for PETA and you’ll get off scot-free.
mary tully, I’ve been closely observing PETA for decades. Squirming out of a legal conviction is one thing, the murderous actions of PETA are in entire keeping with PETA’s continuously stated goal of NO human-animal interaction, no pets, no farm animals. PETA’s little scam of taking perfectly healthy animals to slaughter in NC was exposed - multiple animal shelters, multiple veterinarians, all testified to the lying practices of PETA and that the animals these particular places turned over to PETA were healthy and adoptable. I’m sure they’ll get it in writing next time, but facts are facts.
The cruelty and evil of these people, blithely telling vets & shelter workers their plans for rehoming these poor animals, and then simply driving down the road and running an euthanasia assembly line, swinging by the Piggly Wiggly - all this by their own admission - to toss the bodies, is despicable. I find it astounding that after admitting in court to killing all these kittens and puppies, they were not convicted - until I learned that there is no law in NC against euthanizing an animal. The animal’s health does not enter into it. Euthanization is legal. That’s how they got off. It doesn’t change the disgusting actions of PETA.
If there is a hell for liars and animal abusers, PETA employees, these in particular and all in general, should most certainly spend quite a bit of time burning there.

That’s like Ariel Castro saying, “see, I loved my little girl I sired on the woman I kidnapped and held prisoner for 10 years. And yes, I beat, raped, and starved at least 3 women but I was nice to this little girl.”
An occasional act of basic human decency does not negate the overwhelmingly hateful and cruel actions of killing 98% of the animals unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of a PETA employee.

I never said they were in court for that.
It was PETA people doing the killing, the rest is semantics and legal banter.
I know, it’s the favorite PETA excuse: They are doing it on their own misguided terms, had no marching orders from PETA…the same thing they said when it was found out they paid the legal fees for ALF and ELF terrorists…

And now the name calling…
That was a question. Not name calling.
It was probably meant as sarcasm, but ended up sarchasm.
So far the only one on this thread pot-stirring is yourself.
And it has nothing to do with carriage horses and yet you’ve managed to bring that up ASAP.
