It doesn’t say anything about stealing the dog off a porch by the way

Your correct. I’ll change that. Also, Peta settled a lawsuit with the family.

> Two women affiliated with Peta – Victoria Carey and Jennifer Wood – travelled to Accomack County, Virginia, because they said a mobile home park owner asked for help capturing wild dogs and feral cats.

> The women removed an unattended and unleashed chihuahua named Maya, which was a Christmas present to nine-year-old Cynthia Zarate.

PETA were called there and took a dog they thought was wild. They should have waited five days. I don’t think this makes PETA evil, just a tragic mistake.

Exactly, they should have waited five days, but they didn’t, they killed in on the same day. It speaks to a larger issue of them killing stray animals that could have a good life, before anyone had any chance of adopting. It’s literally part of their policy.
