2013 – Southern Quality Meats Case
After a whistleblower works with us on our Southern Quality Meats, Inc., case, the U.S. Department of Agriculture cites the facility for violating federal law. As a result, the slaughterhouse shuts down.
“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 E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
