In June, two employees of North Carolina People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals were arrested for illegally dumping 80 carcasses of euthanized dogs
and cats into trash containers at a Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Ahoskie.
(PETA condemned the dumping but defended its use of euthanasia. However, a
North Carolina county health director said she had understood that PETA
would work harder to find animals homes before resorting to euthanasia.)
