PETA Wants To Sue Anonymous HuffPo Commenters

MarkWhittington writes, quoting himself: "PETA is incensed over an article in the Huffington Post that details that organization's unsettling practice of euthanizing animals in a Virginia facility that many have assumed is a no kill shelter. According to the New York Post, PETA wants to sue some of the people who have left comments on the article. The problem is that, following the practice of many on the Internet, many of the comments are under assumed names or are anonymous. PETA is attempting to discover the true identities of their critics so that it can sue them for defamation."

    If we weren't supposed to eat animals, they wouldn't be made out of meat.

    For a minute, I thought PETA was poking the hacker group Anonymous with a stick. Now THAT would be an interesting battle... I'm a little disappointed.

    Unfortunately, my local recycling center only takes animals labeled PETA 2, 3, and 5 (your general small furries). PETA 1 (reptilian) and PETA 6 (aquatic) need to be hauled all the way to the next county, so nobody really bothers. And god forbid you have a wolf or black bear to dispose of - NOBODY takes PETA 7.

    If they really want us to recycle, they'll make this damned system easier...

    I think we need to hold a fundraiser so we can finally take these awesome PETA fanatics and give them what they've always wanted; a life in and around happy, free animals...lions specifically. A big field full of lions. Lions are also known for their ethical treatment of other animals.

    You'd better be prepared for a lawsuit from PETA, Samantha Wright.

    If PETA have their way, then there will be no more lolcats. That means they have thrown down the gauntlet to Anonymous & 4chan.

    *grabs popcorn and beer* Let the battle commence.

    Yeah, but I kind of like it when their sexy members get naked and stuff though :) I used to have a "PETA" folder somewhere but I lost it. Could someone post a few?

    I used to donate to the WWF, until I watched one of their TV shows where they were fighting over the money in some kind of big metal cage instead of using it to save pandas.
