“This revolutionary march is proof that more people than ever are taking steps to help animals by going vegan, ditching fur and leather, condemning animal experimentation, and rejecting the use of animals in entertainment,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “This march and others around the country will help drive home the message that animals are like us in all the ways that matter.”
PETA’s motto is “Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.” For more information, please visit TheOfficialAnimalRightsMarch.com.
