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.

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.
