People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals
|
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with 6.5 million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. PETA staffers have had their articles and opinion pieces published in everything from BUST magazine to The Wall Street Journal, and several staffers post pieces to OpEdNews.com using this account.

A parked car is no place for kids or animals No one--including kids, cats, dogs or any other living being--should ever be left alone in a car, especially in warm weather. Dogs trapped inside parked cars can succumb to heatstroke within minutes.

Consumers can convince companies to do the right thing While some companies are selling animals out for a market share in China, where cruel and deadly animal tests are required by the government, consumers don't have to backslide with them. We can still choose to purchase products from the more than 1,300 companies that are committed to being cruelty-free.

Fight cancer with food When it comes to beating cancer and other diseases, an ounce of prevention (switching to a healthy, humane vegan diet) is worth a pound of cure (surgery, radiation and chemotherapy).

The drug days of summer horse racing Thoroughbred I'll Have Another would seem to be in an exalted position as the Belmont Stakes approaches--but even horses at the top of the racing world are at constant risk. I'll Have Another's trainer, Doug O'Neill, has a long rap sheet of drugging violations, and his horses break down or show signs of injury at more than twice the national rate.

Zoos: Don't 'get the party started' It's bad enough that animals in zoos are confined to small enclosures and prevented from doing most of the things that are natural and important to them. Now they are also being used as party props.

Pigeons: Racing to the death A recently completed PETA investigation of pigeon racing spanning many states found rampant suffering, deaths of birds and illegal interstate gambling. This cruel "sport" is driven by money, but it's the pigeons who pay the ultimate price.

Spring: The saddest season for animal shelters When the weather warms up, homeless kittens and puppies pour into animal shelters across the country. We need to stop overpopulation at its source--by spaying and neutering animals to prevent more unwanted animals from being born.

Dairy farm abuses hard to swallow From birth to slaughter, cows on dairy farms are treated like milk machines, not living beings. If you don't want to cause animals undue suffering, perhaps it is time to switch to almond milk and soy cheese.

Civil Rights Fopr Orcas?- PETA Takes Sea World To Court! Last week, five captive orcas were represented in a U.S. federal court in a lawsuit filed against SeaWorld seeking to establish that the animals deserved protection under the Constitution's 13th Amendment, which prohibits slavery. There is no question that SeaWorld enslaves animals.

Federal snake ban lacks bite A recent federal ban that stops imports and interstate commerce in four species of snakes doesn't go far enough. No one "needs" a pet python or anaconda. For the animals' sake--and ours--it's time to outlaw ownership of exotic pets.

The military abuse video you haven't heard about In 2008, a scandalous video emerged of a U.S. marine throwing a puppy off a cliff. Now there is a video of a soldier repeatedly beating a sheep with a baseball bat. Whether the abuser is a military service member or a regular Joe, cruelty to animals must be taken seriously, for everyone's safety.

A resolution for cat people When cats are allowed outside unattended, they may come back injured, or not come back at all. They can be exposed to fatal illnesses, hit by cars, attacked by dogs or abused by cruel people. Keep your cats safe this year--by keeping them inside.

2011: A surprisingly good year for animals In 2011, we saw bullhooks banned, elephant exhibits closed, animal testing halted, and fur given the cold shoulder. We can keep the momentum going by resolving to make animal-friendly choices in the coming year.

They kill horses, don't they? Congress recently paved the way for horses to be slaughtered for meat in the U.S. If eating horse flesh appalls you, so should the industries that provide the bodies.
