PETA Trial update

Words can not express my sadness and anger at this moment.

The trial of two PETA employees charged with a variety of crimes related to the killing and dumping of nearly 100 animals in Chowan County NC over the last couple of years continues with some disturbing testimony.

The text of a log book used to document the kills is below the fold. It is not graphic, but it is terribly sad. Text is quoted verbatim from PETAKillsAnimals.com

Keep up with the trial here.

Another episode that made some jurors visibly uncomfortable concerned incriminating documents recovered from the PETA van Adria Hinkle was driving when she and Andrew Cook were arrested. At PETA, it seems, the animal-killing isn't complete until the paperwork is done. Hinkle and Cook, it emerged today, kept a "Fieldwork Data Log" describing all the animals they collected and dispatched to The Big Doghouse in the Sky.

Each line on the log has a space to record an animal's breed, sex, age, and condition. Here are just a few of the actual examples read into evidence, as Hinkle and Cook described them:

Breed: Beagle

Sex: Female

Age: 6 months

Condition: Adorable

Breed: Schnauzer

Sex: Male

Age: Born

Condition: Perfect

Breed: BSH [British Shorthair cat]

Sex: Female

Age: 7 years

Condition: Pregnant

Unbelieveable!! I'm not a 'PETA freak' but I do believe in humane treatment of any animal! (Kids included most of the time! *L*)

Most of the PETA that I have run into are nuts. I have seen them block boat ramps to try to keep people from fishing..and I have also seen some take a swim when they were thrown off the dock by a bearded redneck whose name I will not mention to protect myself.

I remember waaaaaay back in the Dark Times -- this was before we had microwave ovens or digital watches or CDs or cell phones or the number '5', when I was in college, the Petans were a new organization, and they were already recruiting on campus using pictures of sobbing puppies. I sent them $20 as a po' dumb college student. I'd like it back now. With interest.
