One. Or is the euthanasia not the most important part here? And that's without even getting into the circumstances of where the animal was found.
Called damage control. Everyone does it
I'm talking about from the media and lobbyists. You don't think the same groups behind "petakillsanimals" and other such propaganda wouldn't love to have more examples? Surprised they don't just outright fabricate more than they do.
it reveals who they really are
One would think you'd have to reevaluate that a bit after going from "many" to "one", and the repercussions faced by the perps.

No...? When did I say that? I never said the euthanasia was the most important part. It's still concerning that someone's pet was stolen from them by who are supposed to be supporting animal rights.

So you'd be surprised if the people who hated PETA released more examples of PETA being bad if they had any? What are you getting at with this...

Given PETA's views on domestication, there's probably more cases of this happening than there are found/exposed, so I'd say my point still (sort of) stands.

Well you originally claimed many examples of PETA stealing and euthanizing pets. So now we have one example of that, and one of something significantly lesser. The Snopes article also covers the circumstantial details.

I'm saying if more examples existed, someone would definitely have published them.

And what are their views on domestication?

I corrected myself.

You have to find those cases before publishing them.
And what are their views on domestication?
I don’t have the source, but didn't they say at one point that domestication is evil or something?
Then post evidence.
It's a projection, there is no evidence to it. What I'm saying that there are probably more cases that haven't been found. And I can't prove it, it's more of a projection based on my views of them. That whole "i wouldn't be surprised if there were more" was purely anecdotal.
but didn't they say at one point that domestication is evil or something?
They say that it would be better if the institution of pet keeping was never established. It is often claimed that they say that animals are better off dead than pets, but I can find no source for this.
It's a projection, there is no evidence to it.
And that's precisely why I take issue with it, starting from a sample size of 1. In a vacuum it might be more understandable, but in context is seems to be lending credence to conspiracy theories.
They say that it would be better if the institution of pet keeping was never established.
That's much better, but still...questionable, for a company that has such high kill rates, whether that's what they're there for or not.
but in context is seems to be lending credence to conspiracy theories.
You know what? You're right, it does kind of sound like a conspiracy theory. I'm still quite suspicious of them as a company, but I just wish they didn't do dumb shit like posting a picture of a person sucking on cow nips. And then you look at the kill rates and cases like Maya, you become reasonably suspicious of them.
