PETA has contacted former Today Show host Matt Lauer regarding alleged animal abuse taking place on his property in New Zealand. According to a news release by PETA, an undercover investigation into sheep farms in New Zealand has uncovered horrific practices at a property owned by Matt Lauer. The report details several alarming incidents, including stepping on thrashing sheep's necks and dragging them across the floor.

PETA also describes several grizzly practices, including sewing up injured sheep without any painkillers. "whipping, manhandling, and hitting sheep with objects, including a metal-tipped pole." The report also details alleged incidents where workers smashed a sheep's head into a wooden board.

The PETA report also contains a link to video footage of the atrocities.

Nice headline, but not what you think, haha. From PETA, so grain of salt.

Does the door automatically lock while he's interviewing the sheep?

And why is he wearing those tall boots?

Obviously PETA has never had experience trying to raise sheep. Dumbest animal out there.

I don’t know how you can shear a sheep without aggressively holding it down...

A few years ago a couple of those PETA knuckleheads showed up at our local Kingfish tournament that attracts teams from all over.

They were whining about “fish feel pain”.......they were lucky some fishing team didn’t take ‘em for a boat and do a Dexter on ‘em.

From the same bunch who think those chicken parts wrapped up in the grocery store = the holocaust.

My SIL is a sheep farmer. I have heard him yell and swear at them from time to time (because they’re sheep), but that’s about it.

The thought of Lauer in NZ with sheep does give one pause. My first thought was how far he had to flee to get away from Hillary. Now that you mention the sheep, it adds a whole new dimention.
