Sarah Palin bit back at PETA after the organization bashed her over a photo of her son standing on the family dog sparked outrage. On Saturday, the former Alaskan governor posted a lengthy note to her Facebook page calling the organization hypocrites who only gives celebrities they work with a pass.
Dear PETA,
Chill. At least Trig didn't eat the dog.
Hey by the way, remember your "Woman of the Year," Ellen DeGeneres? Did you get all wee-wee'd up when she posted this sweet picture? [Palin linked to a photo DeGeneres posted in July of a little girl standing on a dog to reach the bathroom sink]. Hypocritical, much?
Did you go as crazy when your heroic Man-of-Your-Lifetime, Barack Obama, revealed he actually enjoyed eating dead dog meat?
Aren't you the double-standard radicals always opposing Alaska's Iditarod - the Last Great Race honoring dogs who are born to run in wide open spaces, while some of your pets 'thrive' in a concrete jungle where they're allowed outdoors to breathe and pee maybe once a day?
Yeah, you're real credible on this, PETA. A shame, because I'll bet we agree on what I hope is the true meaning of your mission - respecting God's creation and critters.
Our pets, including Trig's best buddy Jill Hadassah, are loved, spoiled and cared for more than some people care for their fellow man whose politics may not mesh with nonsensical liberal failed ways or don't fit your flighty standards.
Jill is a precious part of our world. So is Trig. (You can read the full note here).
On Thursday, Palin was attacked after she posted pictures of 6-year-old Trig, who has Down syndrome, standing on the family dog so he could reach the kitchen sink. She captioned one photo, "He made his stepping stone."
"Trig just reminded me. He, determined to help wash dishes with an oblivious mama not acknowledging his sings for 'up!', found me and a lazy dog blocking his way," Palin captioned another photo.
