Newport News, Virginia, Restricts Dog Chaining
Following 10 years of efforts by PETA and compassionate residents, the Newport News City Council in Virginia unanimously passed an ordinance to restrict the chaining of dogs.
“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
