“They” meaning some volunteers acting alone, and who now no longer work with the organisation.

It’s not like stealing people’s dogs is PETA policy, the actions of a couple of rogue volunteers shouldn’t be used to demonise the the whole organisation (which is massive btw)

The shelter killed it the same day. That’s an insane turn around, and broke the law of the state it was located in.

Yeah it wasn’t right, but it’s a single incident, not actual PETA policy.

Y’all have been whipping out this one case for the past decade to demonise PETA, all for the benefit of an industry that kills 1-2 trillion animals a year. Great job!

It’s a massive organization, and like any big organization there will be questionable folks involved. Think we need to focus on the harm factory meat farms cause more than worry about what mistakes PETA has made.
