SPECIAL REPORT: Judge Reminds PETA That Dognapping Is A Felony
Posted On June 27, 2007

Yesterday, the latest People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) employee to run afoul of the law made her get-out-of-jail-free arguments before a Virginia judge. It didn’t go too well. At the end of a 90-minute “probable cause” hearing in the aptly named town of Courtland, Virginia, PETA worker Andrea Florence Benoit stood charged with the October 2006 felony theft of a hunting dog. And we learned a great deal more about this disturbing case, and just how far PETA will go to substitute its judgment for everyone else’s.
Before the hearing even began, the prosecutor declared that he wouldn’t pursue petty larceny charges related to a radio-tracking collar Benoit removed from the dog before she put it in a PETA-owned van. Benoit’s lawyer now admits that she took the collar off, but tossed it by the side of the road.

Detectives (and Animal Control officer John Thomas Cooke, who owned the dog) testified that when they stopped Benoit’s van, she lied about having taken the animal. Only after Cooke described the animal in detail did she admit it—saying “Oh … that dog. It’s in the back.”
Cooke also testified that Benoit lied about the tracking collar, saying “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
When Benoit put Cooke’s dog into her PETA-owned van, it was wearing an identification collar with Cooke’s name and cell phone number on it. Its coat was also marked with an identifying number and with Cooke’s initials.
Criminal defense attorney Stephen Benjamin, speaking for Benoit, admitted that the dog was perfectly healthy when she took it.
Benjamin added that Benoit and Edwards “did what was, quite frankly, consistent with their training” at PETA.
Between 1998 and 2005, PETA put to death over 80 percent of the animals it brought back to its Norfolk headquarters.

In 2005 that number was more than 90 percent. (The group has ignored the State of Virginia’s March 31 deadline for providing its 2006 pet-killing statistics.) And in courtroom testimony earlier this year, a PETA manager testified that the group doesn’t have any facilities for long-term animal sheltering.

Just becase its not muslim group does not make it a no terror act.

Answer 1

PETA, ALF, ELF, etc...all those loony groups use strong arm tactics to make their point. So yes, they should be listed as domestic terrorists and aggressively sought after and prosecuted under RICO. Street gangs same thing.

Answer 2

These are the same "People" that have destroyed hundreds of thousands, if not million of dollars in persona property of people they disagree with.

In San Fransisco a couple years back a number of Peta members broke in to and destroyed a shop that sold Pate and Foie Gras, because THEY decided it was wrong to sell those products.

These guys are almost as bad as those people who burn down Car lots and ski resorts to "Save the environment", forgetting of course that the fire, smoke and water used to put out the blazes are releasing toxic chemicals in to the air soil and ground water.

Good intentions are great but they need to remember that they also pave the road to Hell.

Answer 3

Yeah, Goldspider said it.

There is REAL terrorism that we all need to be worried about. Labeling EVERY infraction of the law as "terrorism" will only weaken us, drive us apart, make us all suspicious of one another, and eventually subvert any and all notions of justice.

You don't like PETA? Join the club - they are extreme, and there are plenty of animal welfare groups that do a lot of great things without resorting to those tactics.

But PETA is not a terrorist group.

Answer 4

This , by itself, doesn't make them a terrorist group. This makes them a group of organized criminals, I feel that they are a danger to civilized society, because they really believe that the rules don't apply to them. Using the Peta process of justification perhaps I could beat the beans out of one who came on to the family farm. I'm just looking out for the animals so I don't have to obey the law.

Answer 5

Their tactics are sometimes terrible but unless they are blowing up buildings or setting fires (which I hear some of theirs have done) they do not qualify as terrorsits the same way Al Qaeda does. They need to be stopped from stealing and murdering animals the way they do though.

Answer 6

Are we going to describe every act of criminal asshattery as "terrorism"??

Is this woman a dumbass? You bet! Terrorist??? Are you kidding me?

EDIT:
Is PETA threatening anyone (person or animal) with physical harm? No? Not terrorism then.

I bet you're tired of people playing the race card. I'm tired of people playing the terrorism card, for the same reason.

Answer 7

greater often than no longer the objective of PETA and what they is solid. yet as such you often locate human beings in just about each stream, that take extreme steps consistent with how they sense. additionally in many circumstances the media shops provide highlighted concentration to those anomalies and make human beings think of it incredibly is the only element that they do.

Answer 8

PETA is a good group but it seems like some of its members have done some illegal things in the process of trying to help animals.

I generally like PETA but some of the things they do are wrong.

I think PETA has good intentions but doesn't carry them out well.

Answer 9

In Chicago, they sprayed a restaurant with red paint because the owner (who is French) had testified against the idiotic ban on Foie Gras that was enacted by our city council.

I'd say that was at least a hate crime.

Answer 10

is that what PETA does now? kidnap healthy animals just to put them to death?
