PETA was again successful in helping to bring felony charges against an animal abuser, this time in Maryland, where a man starved and severely neglected his dogs. He was convicted and sentenced to 90 days in jail. If it hadn’t been for our involvement, this man would have faced a fine comparable to a parking ticket.

“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
