About time these whackos get it turned on them. I like animals (mostly eating them) but don't put them on the same level as humans.

Trial Begins Against PETA Volunteers
Monday, January 22, 2007
(01-22) 22:13 PST Winton, N.C. (AP) --
Jury selection began Monday in the trial of two animal rights activists charged with animal cruelty after they were discovered dumping dead animals in a trash bin.
Adria J. Hinkle, of Norfolk, Va., and Andrew B. Cook, of Virginia Beach, Va., are charged with 21 counts each of animal cruelty in addition to charges of littering and obtaining property by false pretenses. Both volunteered with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA.
Prosecutors in this northeastern North Carolina town interviewed potential jurors Monday, asking them if they were pet owners or hunters, and whether they had ever euthanized a pet. Jury selection was expected to continue Tuesday.
Hinkle and Cook were PETA volunteers in Norfolk when they offered to take animals from crowded animal shelters in Bertie, Hertford and Northampton counties. Their lawyer said the load of animals became too large, and the workers began euthanizing the dogs and cats and dumping their bodies in a trash bin at a grocery store.
The pair was arrested in June 2005, after police said they saw Hinkle and Cook dump several bags of dead animals into the bin. Police said they found more dead animals in the pair's van

All kidding aside:
There is so much wrong with those people. I'm with you, enz, in that I cringe whenever I read about PETA, yet I thrill whenever PETA gets an ass-kicking. I believe they, as a group, started out with noble causes, yet their agenda became much too twisted along the way.
I say bag up Hinkle and Cook and dump them in a bin.
