For Immediate Release:
August 26, 2015
From the moment that the first panda was born, the newborns were handled by humans and turned this way and that under the glaring camera lights. It was inevitable that the poor little cub was too unthrifty to survive, but in nature the mother would not have manipulated him, force-fed him, and treated him like an exhibit.

“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
