Thanks to pressure from PETA, charges were filed in what could be a precedent-setting case in Earlville, Illinois, where a wonderful vet rescued this abandoned calf from a dairy farm. He had been left to die by the side of the road.
“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
