Hypocrisy runs wild in Carolina
Two People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) employees from Virgina have been charged in Ahoskie, N.C., with animal cruelty after dumping dead dogs and cats in a shopping center garbage bin.
Investigators staked out the bin after discovering that dead animals had been dumped there every Wednesday for the past four weeks, Ahoskie police said in a prepared statement. Police found 18 dead animals in the trash bin and 13 more in a van registered to PETA. The animals were from animal shelters two counties in North Carolina, police said.
Apparently, the two were picking up animals to be brought back to PETA headquarters for euthanization, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said Thursday. PETA is hosting a press conference later today to try and explain this sorted mess. Newkirk needs a big shovel.
There is no truth to the rumour that Emilo Estevez has finally found material for a script to re-launch his hollywood career.
