PETA stands by their men...

This is the thing that horrifies me.

Even on the third day of the shocking PETA animal cruelty trial, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals still support and condone the activities of their employees Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook, who slaughtered between 30 and 80 healthy cats and dogs when they couldn't be bothered to find animal shelters for them, like they'd promised.

"Adria and Andy were simply doing their jobs to euthanize the animals" was the official line.

What complete rubbish. These two murderous crooks went from animal shelter to animal shelter, misrepresenting their intentions and lying about what they really intended to do.

In North Carolina, Animal Control Officer Barry Anderson asked them if they could really find homes for the animals he was passing into their 'safe keeping.'

"Yes. No problem. Absolutely." Adria Hinkle told him.

Based on that assurance, Anderson then gave over his own pet, a puppy called Happy. Happy was unfortunately not housebroken and Barry Anderson was reluctantly rehoming him.

Even though Anderson handed his pet over on the explicit understanding that it would be rehomed, Happy went the way of the other animals. Brutally slaughtered and dumped anonymously into a dumpster.

The trial continues. PETA continues to support their employees.

On an unrelated note, despite promising to rehome all the animals it shelters, PETA continues to 'euthinaze' over 90% of them. That's more the 14,000 a year. The lethal injections administered by Adria Hinkle and Andy Cook - and presumably other PETA employees - were unlicensed and illegal in the state of North Carolina.
