People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is famous for its public displays designed to shock and sometimes disgust people (here and here and here). However, PETA appears a bit thin skinned this week with legal attacks on critics who accused the organization of killing animals in a Virginia shelter. PETA reportedly is asking a court to give it the personal information, email addresses, phone numbers, and other data for three bloggers who reacted to an April 2 posting by a no-kill shelter advocate. One of the bloggers called PETA “animal Kevorkians.”
PETA has refused to discuss its efforts.
Articles have accused PETA of killing roughly 90 percent of stray dogs and cats at a Virginia facility. Critics insist PETA is not open or honest on its kill policy with donors.
I have been unable to see any of the alleged PETA filings or any response from the organization on these allegations. I find it troubling to see public interest organizations going after critics. PETA thrives on free speech and often engages in speech that many find troubling. Yet, we all defend their right to do so even if we criticize their tactics. I would be interested in seeing the filings if they are public and anyone has run across them.

I thought “Only the court could subpoena something. Idiot.”
Oh wait, was that “Idiot” meant for me?
Or for you? Because from what I can tell you were the one being an idiot.
Yes, lawyers when the court allows. So we are back to the court’s ruling. If lawyers could do it without the Courts, then PeTA wouldn’t have had to try and sue the Huffington Post.
Now go get back to that “life” you claim you have, Pig Pen.
Wait are you saying all lawyers are government agencies?
I guess you don’t really have a “life” to get to do ya, Pig Pen?
And you’ll continue to troll this comment section until every valid criticism against PeTA is buried in the muck you spread around.
Isn’t that right?
Not by lawyers? You know lawyers can issue subpoenas too. Did you know that? Do you know that now?
By the court’s ruling or law enforcement agencies, which is the government. Didn’t you know that?
Lucy but were they subpoenaed by the government???
Whatever. I already know who gives you your legal advice, so spare me your contempt. You get your legal advice from the people who actually have been successfully sued in the court of law, and my friends have not. That is FACTUAL, isn’t it?
So keep laughing I’m not the one going to jail, but two of your friends are. Soon to be more.
Only the ‘government’ can issue subpoenas!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
Marilyn yes you were but see, what we like best about you is when you chime in with distractions and manipulations every time you see Lucy in over her head. It’s very touching, in a really creepy kind of way!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Sorry, I wasn’t done laughing at you
Huh? I am trying to stick to the topic, which is PeTA. It’s you and your fellow haters that are attempting to use distraction and manipulation with your personal insults.
Lucy any lawyer can issue a subpoena and in a civil case a judge doesn’t even review it. Look it up on your internet. So sorry you made such an utter fool of yourself once again spouting nonsense as if it were fact and then ridiculing others who were in fact correct! Really I am!
(HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA)
ooops I meant to say plagiarizing other “animal rights activist’s thoughts”.
Sure thing Virginia, I know how smart you are plagiarizing other animal right’s thoughts. Ooops, I mean jetson409….
Yes, law enforcement is the govt. dumb bell. Now I thought you had a “life” to get to?
No need to feel sorry for me I’ve done my homework and understand the theories and philosophies. You might consider taking a break from posting incessantly and doing the same.
PeTA cannot “subpoena” anything, Piggy….Only the courts or the govt. can do that.
PeTA failed at their attempt to have the court subpoena the information they requested from the Huffington Post.
Now that is an epic FAIL of embarrassing proportions from the big baddies and their ace legal team.
Get out of my face you lying troll.
YAWN , don’t you no kill nuts have lives? You’ve been rehashing comments made over two years ago. You spend hundreds of hours regurgitating who said what when and maybe why? At the nd if the day WHO CARES? i certainly could care less what you nutty no kill nuts think. One thing is certain – you have to be half baked to think pet overpopulation is a myth and that No Kill Nation has a clue.
I think that rational people only have to read the comments from “Pig Pen” and the rest of the fake IDs to see who are the depraved ones here. Lucy, stop feeding the trolls, they are doing a fine job of showing their true colors.
