April 2012
A complainant contacted PETA about a perpetrator who was hoarding equines and several calves at a ranch in rural Georgia. State officials had an open investigation, but we connected them with our complainant and a local agency, which bolstered their case. Ultimately, 78 horses, two calves, a miniature mule, and two donkeys were seized, and the perpetrator is being charged with cruelty to animals and felony theft.

“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
