PETA'S TREATMENT OF ANIMALS

The fanatical anti-hunting group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), made headlines recently, not for "ethically" treating animals, but for killing them.

Last week, two PETA employees were each charged with 31 felony counts of animal cruelty, and nine misdemeanor counts related to illegal disposal of dead animals and trespassing, after authorities found them dumping the dead bodies of 18 animals they had just picked up from a North Carolina animal shelter in a dumpster. According to The Associated Press, 13 more dead animals were found in a van registered to PETA. Veterinarians and animal control officers reportedly stated that PETA workers promised they would find homes for the dogs and cats relinquished to their care, rather than euthanize them.

When I was a police officer, I worked several demonstrations where PETA was staging protests. I even got to carry the President of PETA out and to the arrest area. Quite an interesting bunch, to say the least. I was called about every name but a child of God. One young female protester I carried out, as soon as the photographer went the other way said "OK, I can walk now". So I said "Fine!" and I dropped her! From there she was processed.

One thing about demonstrations I learned early on is many arrestees go limp and make you have to work harder to carry them, since they're a dead weight. I found out that if you drag them face down, they will get up when you reach gravel or pavement!

You are right...a bunch of hypocrites.

Gunslinger,
