PETA gets sued over taking and snuffing family's dog

Posted by David Hardy · 29 November 2015 05:38 PM

PETA has long run an "animal shelter" in Virginia, a major function of which is snuffing the animals brought in (in 2014, the "shelter" adopted out 39 dogs and cats and killed 2,454). Now, they're being sued for snatching a dog off its owners' porch and snuffing it. Unlike Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday, their hypocrisy seems to have no limits.

They would have to kill me to get my dog. Because for damn sure anyone trying to take my dog would be shot.

I figured there must be more to this story than just plain blood thirsty dog nappers. Apparently PETA claims they were called to the area to pick up some dogs abandoned by tenants that had moved out, and took it by mistake. Maybe they figured they didn't need to wait the statutory 5 days to kill the dog since they thought the owners had already abandoned it. Obviously a serious mistake was made.

Several posters have claimed that PETA makes little effort to adopt out shelter animals because it wants to kill all pets and livestock on the grounds that they're better off dead than suffering as slaves or giving birth to more offspring doomed to suffering. But this may be an astroturf campaign by the livestock industry to reduce support for PETA. One poster attempted to explain PETA's high shelter kill rate as a result of people taking old and sick animals to their shelter to be put down at a lower cost than a veterinarian. Another person says some shelters maintain a low kill rate by having arrangements to hand the animals off to vets to do the dirty work.

Where is the Commonwealths Attorney in all of this? At a minimum this is trespass and larceny. it’s possibly felony larceny, the threshold is only $200 in VA. These scumbags should be in jail, not living cushy lives awaiting a civil court hearing that some insurance will cover.

Richard Alexander, you are a PETA apologist. You say "One poster attempted to explain PETA's high shelter kill rate as a result of people taking old and sick animals to their shelter to be put down at a lower cost than a veterinarian. Another person says some shelters maintain a low kill rate by having arrangements to hand the animals off to vets to do the dirty work." Which posters are these, where? You blame the livestock industry, and you besmirch the reputations of other shelters and vets. Shame on you! Take your PETA advocacy elsewhere.
