PETA sent an open letter to the city of Hannibal asking officials to cancel plans to poison birds. They did not respond, so we sent an e-mail alert to all our Missouri members asking them to join the fight. The bad publicity that was generated caused the two contractors who were going to poison the birds to pull out of the situation.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
