Norfolk, Va. –

Below please find our statement from PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange on reports Amy Cooper has regained custody of her dog:

Anyone who is this rough with a dog and hangs the animal by the neck, as in the video, clearly shouldn’t have a companion animal. Surely, a better home can be found than with Amy Cooper, and PETA stands ready to assist with that.

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