Brixmor Bans Pocket Pets
December 2011
Brixmor, the second largest owner of community and neighborhood shopping centers in the U.S., has agreed to ban Pocket Pets—a traveling kiosk that sells sugar gliders—at its 585 properties in 39 states.
“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
