2005 – Petco
Thanks to PETA’s lengthy campaign to push PETCO to take more responsibility for the animals in its stores, the company agrees to stop selling large birds and to make provisions for the millions of rats and mice in its care.
“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
