PETA Wants To Sue Anonymous HuffPo Commenters

Posted by Unknown on Monday May 27, 2013 @04:05PM 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."

Wow I'm confused. Here is what I get reading the comment boards lately on huffpo, slashdot, etc
1. Bradley Maning = brave whistleblower who has free speech protection
2. James Rosen = awful Fox News reporter, part of the right wing conspiracy, who gave out classified information
3. Anonymous Comenters = brave whistleblowers who have free speech protection
is this accurate? im really confused.

Tasty meat paste! Or is it real Pâté? Maybe this is REALLY where 'Peta' came from!
