Sarah Palin posted a photo of her son, Trig, standing on the family dog in order to reach the sink and the Twitters users recently went nuts over it.
PETA immediately took shots at her on Twitter and even warned that they forwarded the photo to their “Cruelty Investigation Department.”
@KemDizzle Unbelievable! I have forwarded this info to our Cruelty Investigation Department.

Palin was quick with a rebuttal on Facebook, pointing out the hypocrisy in their threats. She mentions that their “woman of the year”, Ellen DeGenerous posted a similar image earlier in the year with no repercussion from the organization.
She also takes a blow at President Obama, whom the overwhelming liberal agency strongly supports. She wrote: “Chill. At least Trig didn’t eat the dog.”, in reference to Obama admittedly eating dog meat.
Her full Facebook post can be seen below.
Actor Nick Searcy, hilarious Chimed in on Facebook with his thoughts on the matter.
PETA’s president, Ingrid Newkirk, responded to Palin’s remark with a few blows of her own.
“Yes, we campaign against the Iditarod because when the dogs aren’t being driven—sometimes to death—most live chained or inside cages for their entire lives. And we’re a vegan organization, so we sit on pleather couches, wear stylish vegan kicks, and consider fish friends, not food. (Also, by the way, we just sent a case of vegan caviar to Vladimir Putin—and no, you can’t see his house from yours, Ms. Palin.) We have no reason to believe that the Palin companion animals aren’t ordinarily pampered, and we wish the entire family a peaceful and humane 2015.”
If there’s one takeaway from it all it’s that according to PETA, it’s only okay for you to post a photo of a child on a dog if you are a liberal celebrity. They may also give you an award for it.
