(Winton, NC) -- One of two PETA workers on trial for animal cruelty has taken the witness stand in her own defense.

Adria Hinkle testified this morning about her history at PETA, her training in euthanasia and conditions at animal shelters in North Carolina. She said euthanasia was, in her words, "a necessity."

Under questioning from her lawyer, Hinkle recalled the events of June 15th, 2005, when she was arrested. She described one dog with two collars cutting into its skin. As she began sobbing, she told the court that she euthanized the dog.

Hinkle described PETA's efforts to improve conditions at animal shelters through the program with which she worked. She's on administrative leave from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and has moved back to Kansas City to be near her family.

Hinkle and Andrew B. Cook are each charged with 21 counts of animal cruelty after police say the pair dumped several bags of dead animals into a trash bin.
