I don't know if this is true or not, but I got this from another board:

http://www.peta.org/feat/triumph/

"PETA: Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Dumps on Clay Aiken in New PETA
Pro-Neutering Ad
The article says:
"Triumph chose to make Clay Aiken the target of his humor in the ad, and
PETA
didn't object because Aiken recently told Rolling Stone, "I think cats are
Satan. There's nothing worse to me than a house cat. When I was about 16,
I
had a kitten and ran over it." PETA deals with dozens of cases of cruelty
to
cats every week and knows firsthand how damaging statements like this can
be-impressionable kids often mimic what their "idols" do. Aiken never
responded when PETA wrote to him."

I remember watching another different interview where he also mentions his
fear of cats. IIRC, he did not intentionally run over his kitten--it was an
accident. He would not get another cat after that event.

That being said, I would not consider a short quotation taken out of context
as absolute truth nor would I make rash judgments about someone for the
same.

the whole truth)


I'm with you Rona in that, to go out of his way to be mean seems vastly
different than the rest of his life choices. I wonder what the truth is.
