NORFOLK, VA. — The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is investigating how members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) handle euthanasia drugs.
While the inquiry is being dubbed "administrative," DEA agents searched PETA headquarters and made copies of training manuals and competency certificates for 17 employees, according to news reports.
PETA attorneys say the non-profit group is cooperating. PETA reported euthanizing 2,000 animals in 2005.
