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.

Oh and sorry you were wrong about subpoenas. Look it up
Here we go again. Good bye Pig Pen.
The reports from PeTA regarding their “shelter” show that over 90% of the animals they take in were killed. They claim that they were all owner requested euthanasia, but refuse to offer any proof to back up that claim. How is it anyone else’s responsibility to prove them wrong? If someone makes a statement they are responsible to back it up.
And my god if you knew the real disparity between Jetson’s and yours you’d hide from the rest of the world forever.
Why don’t you present proof they don’t?
The fact is you can’t and yet you state your assumption as fact.
That makes your whole reason for being a baseless bunch of bullschicht and that makes you a steaming pike of Krrraaaaap
Glad to see the discussion is back to PeTA and the fact that they kill over 90% of the animals they get their hands on in any given year.
Now, why don’t you,Pig Pen,show us the PROOF that every animal that PeTA kills is “hopelessly sick”.
Please, that will end this argument for once and for all and I will go away.
What a brilliant intellect we have in Lucy! A real National Treasure! She does parody you know! And she knows math too! She knows that euthanizing 2000 hopelessly sick animals out of 4 million that are euthanized elsewhere makes PeTa worth a lifelong crusade. Oh but she doesn’t get caught up in distractions!
I almost laughed out aloud when I saw the link to the Academic Abolitionists blog given you said this about PETA “They would in fact prefer that dogs and cats were extinct.” Someone needs to do their homework.
“concrete examples” were removed? You really are silly. Honestly you just wish Professor Turley would succumb to your trolling, like all the other blog comment sections do, and close it down.
Distract any way you can from the subject of PeTA killing cats and dogs and the fact that PeTA will threaten to sue anyone who dares speak the truth about their killing.
That’s all you are trying to do now. Trolling….When all else fails, you troll and derail the comments so the truth is lost in the muck.
Bron,
What’s funny is that if someone was against this type of stuff they wouldn’t put it out to try and make a point…..
Sorry hiheffner but if you knew how long people have tried to have real conversations with Lucy only to see her abuse people when she’s proven wrong then you’d understand what’s unfolding before you. Concrete examples of her history of abuse were actually posted here but the blogger sympathizes with her ideologies and so censored them. Lucy is nothing less than the most infamous stalker, abuser and bully in animal advocacy and nothing less. Scroll up and watch her try to manipulate the moderator with feigned apologies to suit her personal interests so dramatic that they warranted a violin playing in the background. She is as transparent as she is absurd. Good luck siding with the likes of her.
AY:
what was funny was the PhD saying men were making the women do weird things with vegetables.
More like repulsive and misogynist and exploitative and classless and derogatory.
How does that porn site *help* animals anyway?
That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in awhile……
Ah, the vegetable here is over-ripe then. Twit? Mom told you to stop that name calling.
You wait for Ms. Newkirk to bring you vegetables *to fellate*
That’s what the woman of PeTA do – they perform mock sexual acts with vegetables.
No, this isn’t a defamatory comment, it’s part of PeTA’s methods of “helping” save animals:

Schroeder plays the piano you twit. You sit in a pumpkin patch all night waiting for Ingrid Newkirk to bring you vegetables.
lucy is right. the rest of the peanuts gang is wrong. issue over
people resort to namecalling when they lose on the issues. debate lucy on the issues
Lucy, just because I play the piano and you dress like Elton John does not mean you are a tranny or does it?
