I believe that terrible things happen to animals all of the time and that it is very sad, awful and inappropriate. I have concerns with the organization PETA and their accuracy in information sharing. They have some clearly stated ideals- for example that people should not have dogs and because they have an agenda (as any organization with goals has) all of the items that they share are intended to further serve their goals and consequently that 'information' seems to often be very skewed in one particular way. Using the horror tactic on compassionate, caring people like yourself has been very effective for their organization but wether it accurately represents a situation or is a distorted glimpse of one terrible Slice of a pie is another question. From what I have seen, there are some grave concerns to be considered- especially as loving, caring dog owners, when interacting with PeTA or any of their well funded, mass distributed materials. I greatly value the Yorkshire terrier breed and all of the work and effort that has been put into creating these special little spirits and in an effort to protect that special relationship that we all share with our precious yorkies, I think we need to strongly consider the behaviors and influence of major organizations like PeTa and look deeply into any allegations they claim, the behaviors of the organization themselves and the effects of their actions. Because of my concerns with the intended goals and actions of that particular organization as well as the accuracy of their media, I felt compelled to encourage independent investigation into the subject- especially in a community of loving dog owners, for the future of our breed and our valuable relationships with our best friends.
