People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a national animal-rights group, planted one of its undercover investigators at the Hillsboro center from April 9 to July 25, officials at the nonprofit told The Oregonian.
The investigator, whom neither PETA nor the primate center would identify, took a job as an animal husbandry technician and secretly took notes and shot video to document her complaints. PETA will formalize her accusations today in a complaint to federal regulators.
Many people find great joy in marginalizing and even criticizing PETA. More often than not, at least in conversations I've had with folks, their tactics are cited. To me, in regard to this tactic at least, that argument carries no water.
How many people out there working for some cause or another actually have the wherewithal to
go undercover and infiltrate an organization for their cause? You're not going to see many hands raised. That is some serious gumption.
If only we could see such gumption, dedication, and effort in regard to our cause. The cause of the American citizen. We could use some undercover-special-investigations.
For Democracy.
