(DAILYMAIL) — Sarah Palin has taken to Facebook to defend a photo of her youngest son Trig standing on the family dog that sparked outrage.

Palin's response was written to PETA, who described her as a 'callous woman,' and focused not just on defending the photo but also asking why the organization has never objected to the actions of other celebrities - including President Obama.
