Appalling, ain't it?
"PETA seeks to solve the animal overpopulation problem... we do not and will not hesitate to roll up our sleeves and do the dirty work at our own expense." - PETA
Two employees of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have been charged with animal cruelty after dumping dead dogs and cats in a shopping center garbage bin, police said.
Investigators staked out the bin after discovering that dead animals had been dumped there every Wednesday for the past four weeks, Ahoskie police said in a prepared statement Thursday.
Police found 18 dead animals in the bin and 13 more in a van registered to PETA. The animals were from animal shelters in Northampton and Bertie counties, police said.
Police charged Andrew Benjamin Cook, 24, of Virginia Beach, Va., and Adria Joy Hinkle, 27, of Norfolk, Va., each with 31 felony counts of animal cruelty and eight misdemeanor counts of illegal disposal of dead animals. They were released on bond and an initial court date was set for Friday.
So... Ingrid Newkirk, founder of PETA, "doubts Hinkle had ever been cruel to an animal." Still, Newkirk suspended Hinkle, but kept Cook on the payroll and said if the animals were placed in the bin, "We will be appalled."
"A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy, they're all mammals."
-- Ingrid Newkirk, Washington Post, August 29, 1999
So Ingrid, according to your own views, what your minions did here is the equivalent to dumping human beings in the dumpster.
Indeed Ingrid, it is appalling and we are appalled.

Linda,
Here is what we get with liberal 'Nobody is a loser' mindset!
Youth baseball team was too good for their own good!
By The Associated Press
(6/28/05 - CANAL WINCHESTER, OH) — A baseball team of 11- and 12-year-olds have been kicked out of a league in this Columbus suburb for one reason -- they're too good.
The 'Columbus Stars' were removed from their league last month because they were humiliating opponents. In some of their last games, the Stars beat the Red Sox 18-0, World Harvest 13-0, Sugar Grove II 24-0 and Sugar Grove I 10-2.
Other teams began complaining -- and canceling.
Michael Mirones, board chairman for the Canal Winchester Joint Recreation District, pulled the Stars from the league and returned their $150 entry fee. He suggested the Stars play against better teams.
Now the Stars have received offers from teams all over central Ohio and in other states.
Georgian Heights, a team from the Columbus area, defeated the Stars 5-4 last week to give them their first loss this season. The Stars had defeated Georgian Heights in two earlier meetings this year.
Stars pitcher Josh Dameron, 12, said the team learned from the loss.
"The mood of our team is the same," he said. "We don't care about the loss. The next time we play them, we hope we win."
