PETA to pay family $49,000 for euthanizing 9-year-old girls dog
Source: NY Daily News
PETA apologized to a Virginia family and said it will pay them thousands of dollars for taking and euthanizing their pet Chihuahua.
Wilber Zarate filed a lawsuit against the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals for taking his 9-year-old daughters dog from their mobile park home and then putting the pooch down ahead of the states mandatory five-day grace period.
A pair of women affiliated with the animal rights group said they traveled to the Accomack mobile park in 2014 because its owner asked for help capturing wild dogs and feral cats. While there, they removed the leash and picked up an unattended Chihuahua named Maya shed been a Christmas gift for Zarates daughter, Cynthia.
The pup was put down the same day despite a law that requires such organizations wait five days before euthanizing animals. PETA paid a $500 fine for the violation.

If PETA people want to be vegan and not keep pets, that's their own choice. They shouldn't force that on other people.

Doreen
(11,686 posts)different level than a pet or even a companion animal. I know my connection with my service dog was that strong. I have companion animals now and even though they help a lot it is an entirely different relationship. I wish I could direct to a link about PETA doing that but it has been so long since they tried that.

(27,849 posts)and the local authorities in Virginia should immediately shut down that PETA animal shelter.
(Of the 2,000 animals they had in their shelter in 2016, they killed 1,400)
.
Why did they kill the Chihuahua the same day they illegally took it from the owner?
Couldn't they at least have TRIED to find it a home?
If they had waited a few days, the 9-year-old girl would probably have gotten her dog back.
(PETA should stick to exposing animal abuse at factory farms)
I'd like to know what PETA spokesman Mike Farrell (MASH) thinks about this tragic killing of a perfectly healthy pet Chihuahua.

(27,849 posts)Dr. Temple Grandin, professor of animal science at Colorado State University, has advised many large factory farms on how to run their operations more humanely.
(It can actually save the factory farms money as well).
The cows, pigs, sheep etc don't have to be hit with clubs when they fall down
They don't have to use fork lifts to painfully lift up animals that have fallen down.
There are humane methods to slaughter cows, pigs, sheep etc; and ALL factory farms should employ those methods...and the same goes for factory chicken & turkey farms as well.
Temple Grandin has become a prominent author and speaker on both autism and animal behavior.
A TV movie was made about Dr. Grandin called "Temple Grandin" (2010) with Claire Danes

(17,276 posts)They think it is wrong for anyone to have a pet. They don't care how many they have to kill.
not fooled
(5,801 posts)because I help them (TNR, feeding etc.) disapprove.
They benefit from being cared for. I ensure they all are spayed and neutered.
WTF is PETA doing???

(26,582 posts)In dallas they've had issues with loose dogs making packs and attacking people. It's different than feral cats. I also TNR cats.
NeoGreen
(4,031 posts)...TNR = trap, neuter and release? Or am I mistaken?
doing TNR actually keeps more cats out of an area because the existing ones maintain their territories (reason to not trap and euthanize for those who are so inclined).
I've lived in my present home for two years. When I moved in to this rural area I found that there was a small number of ferals in the vicinity. So, I began trapping, then getting the cats sterlized.
If the ferals are tameable when trapped I keep them as indoor pets or find homes for them. The ones who would have a difficult time indoors or are otherwise just too wild I release back outside. So far, they have all stayed in the vicinity and come around every evening to be fed. They have a decent quality of life but of course face more dangers outdoors.
Last year I trapped four juvenile females before their first estrus. Those were the only females I knew of. As a result, this year: no kittens!!! So, the population is stabilizing and not increasing.
Take that, PETA.
