Just found out: if you emailed Maine Animal Welfare about the property in response to the video last Friday, you may have gotten a response from Animal Welfare stating that a PETA rep toured the kennel and approved of conditions ("The property was visited on Friday by a selectman, the town’s Animal Control Officer, both accompanied by a representative from PETA"). This is a lie; the PETA rep on the case confirmed that this did not take place ("No one from PETA was present when they did their inspection").

Also, Animal Welfare was providing my personal information to those who emailed. This was before the above story was published.

So: yet more lying and more unprofessional behavior that could have been covered in this article—whose puff-piece premise was completely rejected by those who read it and ended up being a complete waste of space.
