In March 2017, three black bears formerly on display at The Mobile Zoo started new lives. Following months of negotiations that were prompted by PETA, the roadside zoo’s operator was arrested on 28 charges of cruelty to animals, and the bears were confiscated and transferred to The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado.

“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
