Where Animals Need Us Most
Learn how animals suffer when used for experimentation, food, entertainment, clothing and the pet trade. Together, we can make a difference.
Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.
Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses. 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
