Sarah Palin is lashing out at PETA after a picture she shared of her son Trig standing on their family's dog drew intense criticism online. On Thursday, Sarah shared a series of snaps showing Trig stepping onto their dog [1], Jill Hadassah, and was instantly criticized in her Facebook's comment section by many people who claimed that she was allowing her youngest child to abuse their dog. PETA released a statement [2], calling the post "inappropriate," adding, "Then again, PETA, along with everyone else, is used to the hard-hearted, seeming obliviousness of this bizarrely callous woman."

Never one to back down from a fight, Sarah lashed out in a long tirade on Saturday, directing much of her anger toward PETA, calling the organization hypocritical for supporting Ellen DeGeneres [3], who had apparently shared a similar photo of a child standing on a dog, and President Barack Obama, whom she claims said that he "enjoyed eating dead dog meat." (Obama wrote in Dreams From My Father that he tried dog meat [4] while living in Indonesia.) Read her entire post below.

PETA responded to Sarah's post [5], saying, "PETA simply believes that people shouldn't step on dogs, and judging by the reaction that we've seen . . . we're far from alone in that belief. 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."
