I don't see how this could possibly be a peta setup if what the news is reporting is true.
In order for it to be a setup they would have had to found a willing dupe to falsely report a sexual assault and give the police enough information to help them convince a judge to issue a search warrant. They also would have had to get inside the building and trash it, thrown feces around, planted unlicensed animals in there, and "covered" the floor with dead rodents. Among whatever else has been found.
I don't know Terry Cullen, never met the guy and have only seen a few quotes attributed to him and a couple of video clips so my opinion of what is known is only based on the news reports concerning this particular issue. And as much as I can't stand peta I don't see how they would pull off what is alleged.
Eventually they'll find Terry Cullen and we'll get to hear his side of the story. I have an opinion on what he will say, but I don't see a need to put words in his mouth at this point. Regardless of what happens or has happened I think we all wish him and his reptiles well.
