In 2000, PETA worked to stop the federal government from adopting a proposed rule that would allow the Hopi tribe to kidnap golden eaglets from their parents on National Park Service lands in Arizona and sacrifice them in a religious ritual. The proposed rule has not officially died, but because of an enormous public outcry, it is now “sleeping soundly.”

“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
