Found this noteworthy considering there are some PETA supporters here who likely don't know about this stuff. Enjoy.
----------------------------------------------
Explosive Website Investigates Animal-Cruelty Trial of PETA Employees
What if a group that doesn't want you to eat meat, wear leather, or go to the circus (because using animals is "unethical") killed dogs and kittens by the thousands? And what if paid staffers of this group killed dozens of shelter pets in the back of a company van and dumped their dead bodies into a nearby dumpster?
Hard to believe, but true. Visit PetaKillsAnimals.com and learn all about the two employees of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) who are standing trial right now for felony cruelty to animals. In June 2005 the defendants -- Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook -- were caught by police throwing bags full of dead pets into a dumpster behind a local shopping center. Workers at local shelters are expected to testify that the two had picked up the animals earlier that day on the promise that PETA would find them adoptive homes.
Don't believe it? Click here to read some of the Grand Jury indictments against Hinkle and Cook. Click here to browse through crime-scene photos of some of the animals Hinkle and Cook are accused of killing and dumping. (Warning: Graphic) And click here to see crime-scene photos from the arrest, including pictures of PETA's van and "death kit."
And if these allegations don't bowl you over, just wait -- it gets worse.
Hinkle and Cooke are still on PETA's payroll. Both are being represented by PETA-supplied lawyers. And -- most amazingly -- while PETA's top brass have denounced the way Hinkle and Cook allegedly disposed of the dead animals, they have yet to condemn them for killing them in the first place. In fact, the spokespersons PETA has deployed to Hertford County -- where the trial is taking place -- have repeatedly defended widespread euthanization in interviews with the media.
Worse still, PETA has a well-documented history of taking in homeless animals and killing them at exceedingly high rates. In 2005 alone, PETA euthanized over 90% of the 2,145 "companion animals" it collected at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. Still skeptical? Click here to view the Virginia state animal records that prove PETA has killed over 14,000 pets since July 1998.
To find out more, go to PetaKillsAnimals.com. There you will find daily updates on the trial, background on the arrests, additional proof of PETA's systematic killing of "companion animals" and more.

| Not disputing any of the allegations - don't know enough to form an opinion either way but I am curious to know who the sponsors of the PetaKillsAnimals.com website are. Strikes me ther are plenty of multi-nationals who have a vested interest in bringing down PETA.... |

Try ASPCA or perhaps some of your local vet clinics have animal rescue programs.
I've never had much respect for PETA or their tactics nor their associations with the terrorist organization ALF (Animal Liberation Front).

I drove by PETA headquarters every day on my way to work during my residency. They'd often be out there clubbing dogs and cats and tossing them in the dumpster...
OK, that last part is made up...it was baby seals. |

There are lots and lots of private rescue groups to volunteer for. Animal and breed specific as well as general. Horse rescues are alwyas looking for people willing to groom, spend time with the horses, if not lame or old even ride them and clean the animals quarters and are many dog & cat facilities. As Fotoman_forever stated there are also vets (where she can get lots of learning done on the side), the ASPCA, PACA, Local Humane Societies. Judge every one individually. There are tons of good people out there and there are not as neat people too in all the organized groups and small local rescues. Also she can become (with your appoval) a foster home for pets waiting to be adopted or in need of special care until they are ready for adoption.
I've never cared for PETA. Also wonders who sponsors the 'antiPETA' site. |

I agree - I find militant and semi-miltant animal rights people rather scary.
There is a particularly vigorous animal rights movement in the UK. They demonstrate an astonishing disregard for human rights and lives (to the extent recently of grave robbing and body snatching the deceased relatives of their enemies).
Ironically, we have some of the highest regulatory standards for animal rights, and their actions are driving necessary research into other jurisdictions with fewer protections.

I'm not sure. The link is actually for: //www.townhallmail.com/gpepzks_msuvkuu.html
Which resolves itself into petakillsanimals.com
I tried an ARIN search for both, but they came up as "unknown".
So did //www.townhallmail.com.
So, it beats me.
On further looking, petakillsanimals.com is run by //www.consumerfreedom.com/
The CCF also doesn't show up under an ARIN search.

Frankly, if the allegations are true, I really don't care about who is exposing or publicizing it or their motives. And it appears there is a trial and lots of evidence.
Radicalism of any sort is never a good thing and most radicals are simply that - radicals - whatever they claim their cause is, it usually turns out that their cause is simply radicalism. IMO. |

I don't know if I've ever agreed with a statement as much as I do that one!

Eco-terrorism, pure and simple.

This is an informative site, showing how various groups are linked through funding, etc. There are some real eye-openers there!

Amen to that!
And of course, anything that has Pamela Anderson as its spokesperson representing her as having either a clue or a brain is suspect IMO.
I mean, really!!!!
