PETA is standing by Ellen DeGeneres in the Ellen vs. Mutts and Moms ordeal. PETA tells TMZ:
At a time when so many people in Hollywood, like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, are making impetuous “pet” purchases, PETA commends Ellen for adopting a homeless animal from a shelter rather than buying a dog. Every animal purchased from a pet store is a virtual death sentence for an animal desperately waiting in a shelter for a home.
We know that Ellen was trying to do the right thing in finding the dog a new home. She just missed a step in neglecting to contact the agency first. We hope that if the new home she arranged turns out to be as good as she thought, the agency will allow the family to take the dog back. PETA does think that Mutts & Moms’ policies of doing home checks and not allowing people to transfer animals to others are good rules that protect the animals. Ellen was just trying to do the right thing — she is a huge animal lover — and surely has learned from this experience.
PETA must be starstruck with their support for Ellen instead of Mutts & Moms. I mean shouldn’t these animal group side with each other?
Update:
Looks like the people at Mutts & Moms has found a solution to this whole thing, they have given the dog, Iggy, to someone else.
