PETA Trial, Day 7: Letting the Cat Out of the Bag (So To Speak…)

Day 7 at the PETA trial was a study in absurdity. A nine-year veteran manager at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the group that regularly compares livestock farmers to Nazis and Klansmen, coolly discussed “the most humane way to euthanize kittens.” She later explained that two Dalmatians—one described in writing as “aggressive” and the other as “submissive”—were both killed in the back of a PETA-owned van. She testified that there have only been “a few occasions” over the years when PETA adopted out animals it found in the Bertie County, North Carolina shelter. And she didn't seem the slightest bit apologetic.

Now, Virginia law says that an “animal shelter” has to follow certain rules when “confining or disposing of animals.” And among those rules is this:

Translation: PETA has to hold animals for five days before killing them. In the case of Hinkle and Cook, the elapsed time was somewhere between fine minutes and five hours—but nowhere near five days.

Animal rights Nazis!

The NAZIs were also big on vegetarianism and Animal Rights, as well as brainwashing young children the way PETA tries to with its series of slanderous comics.

In April 1933, soon after they had come to power, the Nazis passed laws regulating the slaughter of animals.
Later that year Herman Goering announced an end to the 'unbearable torture and suffering in animal experiments' and - in an extremely unusual admission of the existence of such institutions, threatened to 'commit to concentration camps those who still think they can continue to treat animals as inanimate property.' Bans on vivisection were issued in Bavaria and Prussia. Horses, cats and apes were singled out for special protection.
In 1936, a special law was passed regarding the correct way of dispatching lobsters and crabs and thus mitigating their terminal agonies. Crustaceans were to be thrown into rapidly boiling water. Bureaucrats at the Nazi Ministry of the Interior had produced learned research papers on the kindest method of killing.
Goebbels said, famously, 'The only real friend one has in the end is the dog. . .The more I get to know the human species, the more I care for my Benno.' Goebbels also agreed with Hitler that 'meat eating is a perversion in our human nature,' and that Christianity was a 'symptom of decay', since it did not urge vegetarianism. Rudolf Hess was another affectionate pet owner.
Nazi leaders harboured affection towards animals but antipathy to humans. Hitler was given films by a maharaja which displayed animals killing people. The Fuehrer watched with equanimity. Another film showed humans killing animals. Hitler covered his eyes and begged to be told when the slaughter was over.
In the same passage in his diary from the 1920s quoted above, Goebbels wrote, 'As soon as I am with a person for three days, I don't like him any longer. . .I have learned to despise the human being from the bottom of my soul.'

If that's not enough, here's an excerpt from "Germany's Hitler" by Heinz Heinz:

"Adolph Hitler was passionately fond of animals. One off the Party friends had the lucky idea of us giving him a dog for his birthday in 1920. He rather thought a Deutscher Schaeferhund would be the thing and we bought one remarkable for size rather than for breed .... Hitler was awfully pleased with it. But the dog was ill ..... and died.
"So early next year somebody else sent him a young Wolfshund. Hitler fell in love with him, and they became inseparable companions. When, later on, he got more dogs, (they are still living at his country place), this one remained his prime favorite. He kept him ten years or more and then some enemy managed to poison him - some Communist belike. He must have known that to kill Hitler's dog would hit him harder than any political revenge ....
"During the war a little dog deserted from the English lines and came over to us. Hitler adopted him and called him 'Fox'."

Vegans and vegetarians are now in a panic to produce articles denying that Hitler was ever a vegetarian, simply because they don't want him to be one. All of the people saying he was not a vegetarian are vegetarians and none of them are historians. None of them actually know for sure, but they feel that if they shout it loudly enough, people will have to believe them. Vegans are always an angry lot and are accustomed to having people back down from arguments with them.
