"Last week Bertie County Animal Control Officer Barry Anderson testified that he trusted Adria Hinkle so much that he asked her to find an adoptive home for one of his own pets. It was a terrier named "Happy." This is what Anderson said on the witness stand last week:
"I knew that by talking to Ms. Hinkle that she could possibly find a home for it, someone that was looking for a good dog … To my understanding, she found a home for it in Virginia ."
Not so much. Hinkle testified today that "the only time I can remember leaving with a dog alive would have been Happy." And although Anderson thought the dog at least had a chance at a better life, she killed it when she got back to PETA's Norfolk headquarters.
Wait. It gets worse.
She sent Anderson photos of the dog taken on the way back to Norfolk . Happy was pictured wearing a leash and a collar, in a flower garden in front of a brick house.
We're not making this up.
Here's how District Attorney Valerie Asbell questioned Adria about those photos:
Asbell: "How did these pictures get back in the possession of [Animal Control Officer] Barry Anderson?
Hinkle: "I sent them to him."
Asbell: "Why?"
Hinkle: "I thought he would appreciate them. I knew that it was a very hard decision for him to give Happy up."
Asbell: "And when you sent these pictures back to him, did you tell him that 'I killed the dog in Norfolk '?"
Hinkle: "No."
Asbell: "Why not?"
Hinkle: "I didn't think it was necessary."
Asbell: "Why?"
Hinkle: "I don't know."
Asbell: "When he gave you this dog, and entrusted you to take it and adopt it, out, why did you not tell him that you killed it?"
Hinkle: "No reason. I didn't want to hurt Barry's feelings."
Asbell: "If you didn't want to hurt his feelings, why didn't you leave the dog with him?"
Hinkle: "I don't know."
R.I.P., Happy.
Ethical, shmethical.
We note also that PETA's chosen puppy-cremation service is located on Happy Street in Virginia Beach. No connection. It's just creepy. " |  |  | |  |

Mingus, I have asked the same thing? Why isn't this all over the national news. We even emailed FOX and MSNBC and all our local stations. PETA is a cult that needs to be extinguished just like any other cult or terrorist group.
