After PETA sent out e-mail alerts urging residents to support two important bills to help animals, the Maryland General Assembly passed a law banning traveling shows with wild or exotic animals from the state.
“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 E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
