Chesapeake, Virginia, Restricts Dog Chaining
PETA worked with local legislators and activists to address the suffering of chained dogs in Chesapeake, Virginia, and the city council voted unanimously to restrict chaining.
“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
