Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and Republican vice-presidential pick in 2008, has responded to criticism from the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) over a photograph she published of her son Trig standing on the family dog.
“Dear Peta,” Palin wrote in a statement published on Facebook, “Chill. At least Trig didn’t eat the dog.”
Palin went on to claim hypocrisy from Peta over its treatment of the comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and President Barack Obama, saying the latter “revealed he actually enjoyed eating dead dog meat”.
