Tuberculosis Fears Stop Elephant Performances in Dallas
August 1, 2015
After PETA sent a letter to Dallas County Health and Human Services, the city of Dallas refused to allow two elephants who might be carrying tuberculosis to perform.
“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
