When PETA learned that Coral Springs Charter School in Coral Springs, Florida, was planning a “Kiss the Pig” contest, we immediately contacted the school and requested that it replace the event with a humane alternative. Not long afterward, we received word from students that the live pig had been replaced with a teacher dressed up as a pig!

“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
