For the first time ever, a Scottish wool farmer pleaded guilty to cruelty to animals. A PETA Asia investigator had recorded him punching sheep in the face and threatening to slit their throats.
“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
