Thanks for the updated info. Their hypocrisy isn't surprising, but it gives me the creeps.
This is a BIG story, but I wouldn't hold my breath for the MSM to cover it.
I'll be sending it to some of my e-mail contacts, though.

The thugs of PETA have probably been slaughtering dog, cats and other critters for years.
Now they have been caught doing it, and it is out on the internet.
Their left wing dark side buddies in the MSM can't spike this story or hide it on page 29 of section Z in Saturday's newspaper.

LOL...
Look how bloodshot their eyes are. They probably got high and figured a dumpster was just as good as any place to dispose of these murdered animals.
I appreciate your view, which of course is generally correct, but this is bizarre for a few reasons.
These people apparently took these animals from vets and shelters saying they would try to find homes.
Obviously, they didn't even try and just killed them off.
That's different from making a pact w/the shelters where they more likely try to help the shelter find homes and understand that some will end up killed anyway as hopeless - at the shelter.
And never mind their opinion generally that pets shouldn't be the slaves of humans - so it's better to be dead.
Me too, but I think that this is a story people understand. Killing puppies elicits an emotion. Threatening a faceless doctor on the other side of the country doesn't get people inspired (or mad....)
Same reason that Bill Clinton got impeached. There were 100 better reasons to do it, but Joe Sixpack doesn't understand selling nuclear secrets to China. He does understand a quickie in the Oval Office. Unfortunate, but true.
What else would you expect from individuals associated with a movement that has generated the following statements:
"Let us allow the dog to disappear from our brick and concrete jungles--from our firesides, from the leather nooses and chains by which we enslave it." John Bryant, Fettered Kingdoms: An Examination of A Changing Ethic Washington, DC: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, (PeTA), 1982, p. 15.
"The cat, like the dog, must disappear... We should cut the domestic cat free from our dominance by neutering, neutering, and more neutering, until our pathetic version of the cat ceases to exist." John Bryant, Fettered Kingdoms: An Examination of A Changing Ethic (Washington, DC: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA), 1982, p. 15.
"Humane care (of animals) is simply sentimental, sympathetic patronage." Dr. Michael W. Fox, Humane Society of the US, in 1988 Newsweek interview

And, last but not least, Ingrid Newkirk pontificated the following:
"I'm not only uninterested in having children. I am opposed to having children. Having a purebred human baby is like having a purebred dog; it is nothing but vanity, human vanity." Ingrid Newkirk, PeTA's founder and president, New Yorker magazine, April 23, 2003
That is so sad...these people are disturbed.
I will meet you at the airport. I will hold them down for you while you inject them.
In North Carolina PETA employees Adria J. Hinkle, 27, of Norfolk, in pink at center, and Andrew B. Cook, 24, in back, of Virginia Beach, appeared Friday in Hertford County District Court on charges related to the dumping of animal carcasses in a trash bin. drew c. wilson / the virginian-pilot
