After PETA sent a letter to the Minnesota Zoo and rallied members through action alerts, the zoo agreed not to send the animals from this year’s farm display to auction and ultimate slaughter. Instead, the more than 100 goats, calves, sheep, and pigs were sold to people who have offered to provide sanctuary for them.

“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
