PETA is also known to do anything & everything to be relevant. As a person who has done investigations for years, the PETA' narrative fails as judicial proof.
Now I will not be naïve to say cheating doesn't occur-Hell competition for a livelihood breeds creative contention. Sadly in our sport that correlates to animal cruelty--Is Steve guilty as charged? I would say ??? Yes & No.
I will not charge him on a PETA narrative to be released around the 1st Saturday in May---It smells of a BIG PETA PR
Just my Opine-
