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.

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?
