The 11-page lawsuit alleges trespassing and emotional distress. Court documents said that on the day Maya was taken from the home in Parksley, the family bought her a pillow at the store, but came back and couldn’t find her. After Maya was killed, PETA representatives came to the Zarate home with a fruit basket, according to the lawsuit. The paperwork said once Zarate’s daughter learned the bad news, she cried for weeks and lost sleep and weight.

“They’ve lost a member of their family, as anybody who has a dearly beloved pet understands, they’re a member of your family,” Shewmake said.

PETA said residents in that area had asked for help with abandoned dogs. The state later fined PETA $500 because it failed to keep the dog alive for the amount of time required by law.

Messages left for PETA were not returned Tuesday.

WTF?

1. Idiots

More of the same people who in their
Minds think they always know what's right and if you don't agree you're a bad person.

27. Turning kids against parents is a cult/prohibitionist method.

PETA...

[quickesst]

34. I agree...

[Eleanors38]

35. PETA's been doing this for years.

[quickesst]

36. If I had the power...

.... I would shut them down. I don't, but I do take every opportunity to shoot them down when I can.

[NCTraveler]

4. So do factory farms. Nt

[JanMichael]

11. It is like people have no clue how evil the animal farming is.

So PETA is evil when a doofus screws up while companies that dominate the market and have all sorts of documented torture and of course simple killing for fat human faces are a-fing-ok.

Doggy killed "oh noes!"; millions of cows and chickens and pigs? "Fuck yeah yummy".

The hypocracy blows my mind. Fuckers oe and all.

[KT2000]

5. other people - good people

run no-kill shelters - NOT PETA!
I think they are hypocrites as in the time they released a lot of minks (or similar animals) so they roamed neighborhoods and killed other animals there such as cats and dogs.

[LiberalElite]

30. Yes - I am a (now inactive) animal rights

activist and PETA's hypocrisy is abhorrent to me. They're all for the minks but cats and dogs not so much. This comes from the top - Ingrid Newkirk. She is one twisted woman.

[TreasonousBastard]

6. Well, they know better than the local SPCA...

county animal welfare agencies, no-kill shelters...

WTF do we need PETA for?

[Paka]

7. Peta sucks!

And I love and respect animals.

[etherealtruth]

20. + infinity

[Initech]

8. Peta is no better than the groups they claim to despise.

This is a new low even for them.

[Snobblevitch]

9. PETA killing animals is not new.

[Initech]

10. Oh I'm definitely aware that PeTA has a history of that kind of behavior.

[LisaL]

15. I believe they feel animals are better off dead than being pets.

[Lurks Often]

12. The person who took the dog should be prosecuted for felony theft

and I really hope PETA loses the lawsuit

[FLPanhandle]

13. They are just your standard ideologues

Put ideologues together in person or online and group think takes over. This is the result.

[LisaL]

14. Horrible.

[Gormy Cuss]

16. PETA admitted that this was a colossal screw-up

PETA said earlier this year that the person responsible for Maya’s death was immediately suspended and later fired. The organization also made changes to its practices, at the request of a state agency. No charges were ever filed in the case.

[LisaL]

17. PETA euthanizes vast majority of the animals it takes in.

[Recursion]

18. ^^ That. And acts like you want the keys to the nuclear missiles if you're trying to adopt

Sorry. If you're a kill shelter, you absolutely should not turn down people simply because the animal will be left alone during working hours. PETA does. I'm sick of them.

[LisaL]

21. How many people of working age are going to be able to sit at home with an animal all day long?

[Gormy Cuss]

19. I was referring to this specific incident

because the OP left out the part of the story involving PETA's correct response.

[Recursion]

22. "Correct response"?

Why were they taking dogs off of this family's porch to begin with?

There's no "correct response" there. They are sadistic murderers. Period.

I understand that PETA can't be explicitly outlawed, but every single person who supports it should be vocally and loudly shamed any time they appear in public.

[Gormy Cuss]

24. So PETA was incorrect when it fired that employee and changed its policies?

Because that was their response to this.

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. The woman who runs it is one twisted sister.

Their whole philosophy is that animals ate better off dead. They euthanize animals as soon as they come in and they really got into trouble for calling themselves a shelter because they are not. They are just a huge killing station. They take animals from shelters saying they will find homes and then they take them out to the van and kill them. They take animals from people's yards. Sick, sick bunch of people.


Just another huge ego trip at the animal'S expense.

They need to be shut down and sued into oblivion.

[hollysmom]

28. I have no idea why they would be posing as a shelter

PETA in general does not have any shelters.
As for sick I will never forget the story about PETA in North Carolina that would pick up pets when called then put them in a black truck and park it in the sun to kill them.

[leftyladyfrommo]

31. They are a bunch of nut cases.

I'm a pet sitter and you really have to watch out for some people who call themselves rescuers. They like to think of themselves as these big noble heroes. But it's just a huge ego trip for them. The animals they "save" usually end up dead.

[hollysmom]

32. by chance are you in New Jersey? My pet sitter just retired.

[leftyladyfrommo]

33. I'm in Missouri.

I have run into two or three people who claimed they were animal rescuers but I began to realize they weren't quite right in the head. Single people don't have the resources you need to take care of animals. They don't have the money or the facilities. They end up with a house full of animals they can't afford to take care of right.

It's bad for the animals.

[Eleanors38]

25. PETA kills kitty cats & puppies. Right proud of it.

Worse, they get a little itch... You know... down there... when they do it.

Power is expressed in many ways. Hence the truth in "the good, the bad, and the ugly."

[Eleanors38]

26. Done it before, will do it again after appropriate legal adjustment...

29. PETA is a group of filthy sociopaths.

They will kidnap pets kill them and take joy in it.
