Silver Spring Monkeys
PETA’s undercover investigation of animal abuse at a laboratory in Silver Spring, Maryland, led to the first-ever criminal conviction of a U.S. experimenter on animal cruelty charges.
“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
