At PETA, we often say that the issue of how animals are treated isn't just about them; it's about us, how we behave.

Since we can't count on the meat, egg, and dairy industries to protect animals from the most egregious forms of cruelty, what can we, as consumers, do? Opting out of paying someone to allow animals to die in a barn fire or at the slaughterhouse seems pretty reasonable.

We are not in the home finding business, although it is certainly true that we do find homes from time to time for the kind of animals people are looking for. Our service is to provide a peaceful and painless death to animals who no one wants.

Cheap meat is the problem. The answer is to replace meat recipes with vegan meals.

If my father had a heart attack it would give me no solace at all to know his treatment was first tried on a dog.

By adopting a wonderful mutt, you'll save a life and help reduce animal homelessness while also boosting your chances of a more robust new furry friend, as mixed-breed dogs have demonstrated better health and longer life spans than their purebred cousins.

Everything we do is based at adults.
