The investigation continues!!!
PETA is once again leading the charge against animal cruelty, taking their claims against The Hobbit one step further.
As reported last week, PETA and Hobbit producers are playing "he said, she said" over the rumored deaths of 27 animals during filming of the Bilbo Baggins flick.
In a letter dated November 20, PETA has asked New Zealand officials to probe into the abuse allegations

They're dying off the coast of Texas, not like on the plains or something.
That'd be weird.
This is just sad and true though. Over 120 dolphins have died off the coast of Texas.
It's so unusual that a federal agency has actually launched an investigation

Luckily the 400-pound gorilla was caught before it got into the public areas of the zoo.
Koga, a 24-year-old gorilla, was able to get out of his cage at the Buffalo Zoo.
No one is sure how he got out but no one questions that when his cage door was left unlocked he had no choice but to try for freedom.

Recently, PETA did an undercover investigation at a dairy factory farm.
The farm takes 180,000 pounds of milk from about 1,800 cows… every day!
PETA's undercover investigator found that workers would jab and hit cows with a big pole and the manager would even electro-prod cows in the face.
This is absolutely terrible.
Check out the above undercover video to see what the investigator found.

This is getting ridiculous.
How many horses have to die before someone realizes they're doing something wrong?
It's like the NYC horse carriages all over again.
On HBO's series, Luck, a third horse has died on set.

As we previously mentioned, Nepal held an all elephant soccer match at an elephant festival to promote conservation of elephants and to bring in tourists.
What we didn't know was the torture these poor animals must endure during "training" for these games.
A PETA-commissioned investigation of the elephant training in Nepal uncovered

SICK SICK PEOPLE!
After a year-long investigation by PETA Asia-Pacific and the National Bureau of Investigations, police have now charged a Philippine couple with cruelty to animals and other crimes related to producing a series of pornographic videos in which young girls torture and kill animals.
WARNING: Graphic descriptions follow
The "crush" videos that the Ridons are believed to have produced show scantily clad 12-year-old girls as they stomp on live animals, a rabbit as he or she is skinned alive, other rabbits as they scream while their ears are cut off and they are set on fire, a dog as he or she is burned with a clothes iron, and a monkey who was repeatedly hit in the eye with the sharp end of a stiletto heel. There is more, including puppies crushed until they vomited their own internal organs. A bill currently in the Philippine Senate would criminalize the sale of such "crush videos," already illegal in the U.S. and other countries.
Faced with the charges, suspects Dorma and Vic Ridon have fled. Warrants have been issued for them.
