At a Walmart store in Texas, a bird became mired in a glue trap set for rodents. A staffer then paraded around the store with the trapped animal and proceeded to kick the bird and the trap across the floor. Other staff members came to the bird’s rescue, safely freeing him. Animal control and PETA worked with Walmart, and the glue traps have been removed and are reportedly now banned at this location.

“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
