The animals came from a testing site in Gates County. The research center was supposed to be using the cats and dogs to test different products. But undercover video shows that the center was doing much more than that.

"These animals were being abused by the staff at the lab," said Williams.

An undercover PETA investigator shot video showing employees of PLRS abusing some of its animals. It is abuse that shelter leaders say may have scarred these animals for life.

"They are skittish, they are afraid that every time we put our hands on them that we are going to do something to harm them," said Williams.

For nine months the PETA representative worked inside the research facility that tests insecticides and other chemicals used in animal products. However, the investigation found that the cats and dogs were abused and neglected which caused a number of health problems.

"We see a lot of parasite, worms, ear infections because the ears need to be cleaned but our main concern is the condition of their paw pads where they have infection and they are beginning to swell up and get red and raw," said Williams.

PETA's investigation and complaint to the USDA forced the Gates County Company to shut it's doors for good, sending hundreds of animals to a number of shelters across the country.

6. PETA does do some nutty things

But the bottom line is they draw attention to issues that need addressing regarding the critters that can not defend themselves. I am a proud supporter of 25 years!

PETA :yourock:

2. This is what PETA does well -- expose facilities that don't follow proper animal care protocols.

If only they stuck to what they are good at.

4. I could not imagine working there for nine months and seeing

all the abuse, and sticking with it for a good cause. Congrats to that PETA representative and bless his/her heart.

5. They DO stick to what they are good at...

the problem is, alot of folks don't like it when they expose what is going on in FOOD animal facilities.

7. I am always grateful to PETA for exposing any abuses.

I am also sickened by some of those abuses.

Now, when they get angry at me for eating meat and wearing leather, we start to part company. But we have always needed those brave souls who will enter hell to expose any injustice.

8. Your thread title is deceptive

PETA...abused test animals...check this out.

PETA did not run a test facility.

10. You caught me. I had other titles in mind but my wife told me to lighten it up.

I was going to say: PETA saves animals from stupid asshole human shitheads.

Or: For all of you assholes that hate PETA here is a story to fuck your head with.

Or: All of you dickheads that hate PETA should suck it because of this great act.\\

Or: PETA is great and you all suck.
