Snatched Hunting Dog May Have Been Slated For Death At PETA's Norfolk Headquarters.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) employee Andrea Florence Benoit will be arraigned today in Southampton County (VA) Circuit Court on a felony charge of stealing a local Animal Control officer's hunting dog.
The nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom, which tracks PETA's program of killing adoptable dogs and cats at PETAkillsAnimals.com, is calling on the animal rights group to stop playing God with other people's pets. Benoit was indicted by a Grand Jury on July 16.
Benoit was arrested in October 2006, shortly after allegedly abducting a free-roaming Walker hound. Police stopped her PETA-owned van as she attempted to transport the dog to PETA's Norfolk office. During a preliminary hearing on June 27, police testified that Benoit initially lied about having taken the animal...
"It's no secret that PETA doesn't like hunters, but the group has no business stealing their dogs," ...

Do you think Michael Vick could claim he was working for PETA?
“She was a PETA Employee in a PETA truck. I smell a big fat lawsuit!!!”
This could be the lever to bankrupt PETA and stop the slaughter.
If found guilty a max sentence is warranted, make an example of her.
I guess this really ticks me off because it’s people like PETA that make it so difficult. I live in a small rural Kentucky town, with no animal shelter, and a terribly cruel animal control officer. Recently, under our new Judge Executive, we have formed a group to assist with the animal control problem... however, none of us suggested taking animals from people to put them down just because we don’t like how that person uses an animal. I mean maybe I think it’s cruel for an overweight person to go horseback riding; I’m not going to still their horse and euthanize it.
Typical leftist malignant narcissism at work.
These people argue for their own forced institutionalization and treatment of their serious mental disorders.
She stole the dog catcher’s dog?
The dog catcher has a “free-roaming” hound?
If PETA is stealing dogs in order to kill them, I hate to think what they might to to any chickens they might stumble upon.
how is stealing a dog ethical? hunters have more of a bond with their dogs than PETA does trying to ‘liberate’ it, leaving it in a kennel and eventually killing it. i hate PETA.
Shoulda sent this guy to kidnap the dog...
It’s true. Read up about it.
There’s a better story than that. A few years back, a couple of PETA people were going to animal shelters in North Carolina and adopting cats, telling the employees that they were going to find homes for them. Instead they killed them all in the back of their van, then tossed the bodies into local dumpsters.
Bad move, PETA.
Coon hunters release the dogs at night in the woods and listen to the chase from a central location, or follow on mule-back. That's why the dogs all have the radio collars & are chipped. Coon hunters lose a lot fewer dogs than they used to, thanks to modern technology.
Some folks put the radio collars on their retrievers, especially in swamp country.
PETA kills more healthy animals than probably any other single organization in the country. It also apparently has a habit of picking up adoptable kittens from vets' offices, killing them in the van, and then dropping the bodies in local dumpsters. This was confirmed in a recent case.
What, you thought PETA was actually pro-animal? They're not. They're just anti-human.
I’ve actually been coon hunting when visiting my uncles in Mississippi. I was about 11 or 12 years old and it was obviously well before radio chip collars or any kind of technology at all past a 10 gauge shotgun. While the “pet” dogs roamed the place at will (or at least hung around the porch), the hunting hounds were kept penned up all the time, except for the actual hunt. I always assumed (a) they did not want to risk losing one and (b) they wanted the dog “hot to trot” when hunting time came.
About 15 years ago they were trying to catch Beagles when they crossed dirt roads chasing rabbits. I’m surprised no one got shot over that fiasco. PETA claimed we were “forcing the dogs to hunt”! Yeah, sure, only way to make a Beagle chase a rabbit is to whip the Beagle, LOL!
We had the same thing here. Small shelter, big yahoo running it. One of my girlfriends went to work at the shelter....then she and I started a website to adopt out the purebreds. We took a few of the mutts home with us to keep them from being gassed...but couldn't save them all. She finally got the city's attention by documenting the manager's treatment of the animals and they fired him. She moved away a year later....but the city revamped the shelter, found someone decent to run it... and they kept the website going. It's great.
PETA and other terroristic enviro whackos need to be sued out of existance...IMHO.
Not to like jump to any conclusions or anything. But Southampton County is right next to Suffolk where Michael Vick’s property is.
I’m just sayin’ is all.
There should be a big civil lawsuit after these criminal charges are done.
If this is the same case I read about earlier, and all the facts seem the same, The PETA's removed the radio collar and threw it in a ditch.
An example should be made of her.
Stealing a hunting dog, then lying about it to the police, then...
It should be a hanging offense ?
WOW :
Southampton County is right next to Suffolk where Michael Vick’s property is.
I’m just sayin’ is all.
The posted misinformation is laughable.
I continue to support PETA.

You support PETA?
Talk about misinformation!!!!Do you know how much of their budget they spend on helping (feeding,spaying/neutering/housing) any animals? If you can come up with a figure I’d like to see it.
You’d be a lot better off to give the money to your local shelter.
There’s plenty of info on PETA out there that is not misinformation, and it’s shocking.
Maybe you might want to bypass PETA altogether and send Rodney Coronado types (domestic terrorists)your money, because if you support PETA that’s the kind of stuff you are paying for.
A judge has declined to dismiss felony animal cruelty charges against two PETA workers accused of dumping euthanized animals into a trash container.
Cook, of Virginia Beach, Va., and Hinkle, of Norfolk, Va., were arrested last June by Ahoskie police officers who were staking out a trash container in which animal carcasses had previously been found. Detectives testified Wednesday that they arrested Cook and Hinkle after watching them throw several bags of dead animals inside the trash bin.
They also said they found more dead animals in the pair’s van, a digital camera with images of living and dead animals and substances later determined to be euthanasia drugs.

I find it very hard to believe anyone would admit they support an organization that supposedly rescues animals from shelters, promptly kills them and then disposes of the decaying carcasses in other peoples dumpsters.
To each his own I guess.
1) PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her group’s overall goal as “total animal liberation.” This means no meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no wool, no leather, no hunting, no fishing, and no pets (not even seeing-eye dogs). PETA is also against all medical research that requires the use of animals.
2) Despite its constant moralizing about the “unethical” treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, PETA has killed over 10,000 dogs and cats at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. During 2003, PETA put to death over 85 percent of the animals it collected from members of the public.
3) PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) activist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing recommendation, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime. And PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich told an animal rights convention in 2001 that “blowing stuff up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation.”

I have a Walker Coonhound. My wife would be happy if PETA would kidnap her. So would I at about 5:30 each morning when she howls to be fed and let outside.
PETA also gives money and more to ELF, ALF...terrorists who start fires , blow up private property...
well : we know the list.
LOL!! What a funny episode that was.
Those non-hunting dogs are “Carolina Porch Setters”. < g >
Check its posting history.
Those murdering thugs? You support them?
It's bad to steal a sheriff deputy's dog. It's worse when you take off the radio collar and the ID tags. It's still worse when you lie about it.
Southampton County is about as rural as you can get in VA. Country folk do NOT take kindly to outside citified radical loons messing with their livestock . . . ESPECIALLY a man's hunting dog. I think these PETA people realized they were in a world of hurt at their arraignment hearing. The judge made plain he was NOT pleased with them and that things were NOT going to go well.
Anybody who messed with my hunting dogs would draw back a nub. Not from the dogs . . . they're kind and jovial as can be. . . . from ME.
Will NFL players picket their events?
Stupid doesn’t even begin to cover it. They probably weren’t even smart enough to be glad when they were arrested. I blame it on protein deficiency causing damage to the brain.
“I’m not going to still {steal}their horse and euthanize it.”
Of course not, you are not a horse thief. PETAPersons are. They will also steal other animals, as their policies and practices have demonstrated.
Hmmmn - perhaps America needs to pass a Spay & Neuter Law for PETAPersons and other animal thieves?
*LOL* I agree....and I must have been more tired than I realized yesterday to misspell steal.
didn’t that one go to trial rather recently?
