People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal, as you may or may not know, is currently being sued for <a href=\"http:\/\/news.nationalpost.com\/full-comment\/jen-gerson-the-day-peta-killed-a-pet-dog\">stealing and killing Maya<\/a>, a little girl\u2019s pet Chihuahua: not an especially unusual act for PETA, but one that was \u2014 uniquely \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g9tWoFiFX4s\">captured on surveillance video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite PETA\u2019s numerous animal-positive arguments \u2014 that the family ought not to be able to sue, because <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nathanwinograd.com\/?p=16511\">dogs are \u201cworthless\u201d<\/a> (I kid you not); and that a reasonable person would not consider the theft and killing of a pet \u201coutrageous\u201d (er, really?) \u2014 the judge has permitted the case to go to trial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So what does this have to do with Donald Trump? Nothing much, except that PETA\u2019s latest virtuous strategy is to have their lawyers attack the girl\u2019s father as not-quite-American, and possibly even Mexican \u2014 God forbid! This is a page straight out of the Trump playbook, of course: Divert attention from crucial issues by scapegoating a prominent minority, preferably Hispanic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The court documents <a href=\"https:\/\/mom2nomads.wordpress.com\/2016\/09\/20\/using-bigotry-to-defend-theft-and-killing-well-done-peta\/\">have been analyzed by Heather Harper-Troje<\/a>, a former PETA worker who quit in disgust when PETA\u2019s president allegedly insisted that her staff <a href=\"https:\/\/mom2nomads.wordpress.com\/2015\/02\/09\/rescued-by-black-boy-how-a-neglected-dog-set-me-back-on-my-path-away-from-peta\/\">kill healthy dogs and hide the evidence<\/a>. She wrote:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Time and time again Wilbur Zarate, the father of Cynthia, the little girl whose dog PETA stole and killed, was asked about his citizenship status, the citizenship status of his family members, the status of his green card by PETA\u2019s attorney during his deposition. He even went so far as to ask if Cynthia was born in the US or in Mexico. Because Mr. Zarate\u2019s citizenship status is relevant to the fact that PETA stole and killed his little girl\u2019s dog how?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ms. Harper-Troje has for years stood up to this vicious organization, despite a <a href=\"https:\/\/mom2nomads.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/13\/petas-bully-tactics-how-they-dragged-my-family-into-the-line-of-fire\/\">protracted smear campaign<\/a> by PETA and its unofficial apologists. She has been targeted in particular by one ardent human, Mary Tully, who isn\u2019t on the PETA payroll, but has an entire vast website devoted to justifying PETA\u2019s decades of killing. (To be fair, this takes a lot of justifying: we\u2019re talking tens of thousands of dead cats and dogs.) Read it&#8230; if you can. It\u2019s comically dull \u2014 mind-numbing details designed to divert attention from the relevant and indisputable fact: PETA (according to its own documents submitted to the Virginia state government) poisons almost every animal unfortunate enough to be referred to its \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2012\/03\/petas-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-history-of-killing-animals\/254130\/\">shelter of last resort<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Diversion is the strategy of the day. PETA apparently hopes to convince the court that this family \u2014 if indeed they are undocumented immigrants \u2014 deserve to have their pet dog lured from their porch and summarily put to death.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For a long time, this privileged, overwhelmingly white organization has bullied its neighbors, many of whom are not white and not especially well off. Members of the community worry (for good reason) that PETA will go after their pets. Some of them, to be sure, are not documented Americans and are not likely to report the organization to the police. We know, for instance, that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nathanwinograd.com\/?p=15021\">PETA killed more animals that day than Cynthia\u2019s Chihuahua<\/a>, but the trailer park in which they rounded them up had a number of residents whose status was questionable. Certainly, the community turned out in force to protest the killing of Maya and to push for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/virginia-politics\/animal-bill-could-put-peta-out-of-the-shelter-business\/2015\/02\/23\/2f4f05b6-bb6a-11e4-b274-e5209a3bc9a9_story.html\">legislation curbing PETA\u2019s ability to kill animals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">PETA has a lot to lose in this trial: $9.7 million, to be precise. It will be difficult to justify this to well-meaning donors, should the case not go their way. And so Ingrid Newkirk \u2014 who was not born in America, interestingly enough \u2014 has decided to borrow the ugliest tactic from the Trump playbook: When the game get rough, throw down that potent Mexican-American card.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It will be reassuring if this parallel strategy issues parallel results. May this election humiliate Donald Trump, and this lawsuit annihilate PETA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Original article:\u00a0The Era Of Trump And PETA: Not A Good Time To Be Hispanic It\u2019s&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1703],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.5 (Yoast SEO v22.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Era Of Trump And PETA: Not A Good Time To Be Hispanic &#8226;
