Feds Cite Linvilla Orchards Following Tip From PETA

Following an alert from PETA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) cited roadside zoo Linvilla Orchards in Pennsylvania for over 15 violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA), including for filthy conditions and improper care of nearly 350 birds, and issued it an official warning. These actions came after the USDA finally added new regulations to the AWA that provide birds with basic protections. Although birds used by exhibitors have been covered by the AWA since 2002, the USDA didn’t enforce the regulations until adopting the new standards in 2023.

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
