PETA Wants To Sue Anonymous HuffPo Commenters

Posted by Unknown on from the turns-out-they-were-dogs dept.

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."

    PETA sockpuppet,

    1. Look at the user ID. It's so new it's still wet behind the ears.
    2. Aha, let's look at their postings. Only postings in this thread - no other history.
    3. So let's check Loba Art's friends...

    Loba Art (2933853) is all alone in the world.

    I would agree with your assessment. Loba Art is a PETA sock.

    Liberals HATE PETA. Every liberal I know HATES PETA.

    You're talking about anarchists and a few Hollywood icons who don't know jack about PETA but will participate in a no fur campaign (because, hey, it's a chance to take off your clothes in front of a camera).

    That's who supports PETA.

    Every rational adult liberal I have ever discussed with with basically snorted and spit their name our of their mouth if the topic was ever broached.

    This is like saying most conservatives are militia members. It's total bullshit.
