It's Amazing How Ironic Irony Can Be

Two PETA Employees Arrested on Animal Cruelty Charges in N.C.

Police found 18 dead animals in the trash bin and 13 more in a van registered to PETA. The animals were from animal shelters in Northampton and Bertie counties in North Carolina, police said. The two were picking up animals to be brought back to PETA headquarters for euthanization, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said Thursday.

Neither police nor PETA offered any theory on why the animals might have been dumped.

Local officials and veterinarians said they were told that PETA would find homes for the animals, not euthanize them.

Nice, huh? But I guess it's ok, since they're concerned and humane and stuff; it's the "gas 'em with a smile" PETA attitude that sets them apart.

Sheesh.

PETA. People organized into a group without a clue.
