I'm a member of Greenpeace and I just helped poison a dog.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker places a declared affiliation beside an action that seems to contradict it. Helping poison a dog makes the mention of Greenpeace sound painfully out of place. The humour lies in that abrupt clash between how someone identifies themselves and what they have just done.
