The results are in from a necropsy of a dog found dead in a dumpster last month in Ahoskie, N.C.
Two employees of PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, each face 31 counts of animal cruelty after police say they dumped that dog and more than two dozen other animals.
Ahoskie police only had one of the dead animals tested. While the results did not show what caused its death, Sgt. Jeremy Roberts said the report shows the dog was fine. "That was a perfectly healthy six to eight-month-old puppy and the only physical problem with the dog was that it had fleas," he said.
Tissue samples are now being tested to determine whether the dog had been poisoned.
In addition to dead animals found in the PETA van on June 15, police say they found a syringe and what appeared to be chemicals used in euthanizing animals.
"From what the doctor told us, about the puncture wound in the vein, leads to they were giving something injected into them," Sgt. Roberts added.
According to the search warrant, police have been finding dead animals in the dumpster since early May. The first time, they discovered 21 dead dogs behind a grocery store. Then June second, 17 dogs and 3 cats were found dead. A week later, 20 more were found.
Finally on June 15th, police say they caught PETA employees tossing bags containing the bodies of 16 dogs in the dumpster. There were another seven dogs and 15 cats in the van, according to records.
The warrant says the animals were alive when the left the shelter and were dead within the hour.
"The only person that can euthanize an animal in North Carolina is a licensed vet and they were not even supposed to be in possession of the drugs to euthanize animals," noted Sgt. Roberts.

Sorry if facts don't matter to you.

PETA's home office is about 10 miles from my office and home so we hear it all. What happened in the case you posted is that PETA went to a shelter in NC that was over crowded and oon the way home euthenized (spelling) 13 of the animals and dump them in a dumpster on the way home. I think they ended up getting out of the charges or where hit with only minor charges for disposing of the animals improperly.

Another person with PETA around here picked up a hunting dog which had wondered off and they removed the tracking devise from the dog so no one could trak them down. The reason is because they thinking hunting and how the dogs are used as cruel. The funny part was that someone saw them and wrote down their plate # and the dog belonged to the policy cheif. PETA claimed they were just trying to get the dog out of trafic (on this counrty road) and the collar fell off. I think the charges were dropped because they could not prove that PETA was stealing the guys dog.
