PETA—People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals—is a name that conjures images of bold protests, celebrity endorsements, and a moral crusade to end animal cruelty. But beneath the veneer of ethical righteousness and photogenic protests lies a more sinister reality. The truth about PETA is far from the glossy, tear-inducing ads they run, and a quick glance at the organization's track record raises troubling questions about the very ideals they claim to champion.
For an organization built on protecting the voice...2024-10-0306 min

This Week in Animal ProtectionWinter is ComingSince the 1990s, the No Kill movement has forced tremendous progress upon a resistant and regressive sheltering industry. That progress includes a decline in the national death rate of 90%, fewer people buying animals and more people adopting, an increasing number of cities and even entire states banning the retail sale of commercially-bred animals in pet stores, half of all Nebraska puppy mills shutting down, and towns making it illegal to engage in commercial breeding to protect “the healthful and humane treatment of dogs.” Because of the No Kill movement, the embrace of the No Kill Equation, and codif...2022-03-221h 11

It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps.”There was a time when No Kill was just a hope. We dreamed it anyway. And because we did, it no longer is. We now have a solution to shelter killing and it is not difficult, expensive, or beyond practical means to achieve.

This Week in Animal ProtectionNo more monkey businessIn the conversation above, we talk about how the global hunger for coconuts is fueling the abuse of primates forced to harvest coconuts in three of the top coconut growing countries: Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. We discuss how we uncovered this abuse while working on a new edition of All American Vegan, our cookbook, how we were able to increase awareness of this issue through our advocacy, and how that advocacy not only led to a study which documented this abuse first-hand, but bans on primate-harvested coconuts by British and American companies.

This Week in Animal ProtectionInside the PETA Kill RoomIn this podcast, we interview Heather Harper-Troje, a former PETA fieldworker.

She also describes how a dog named “Black Boy” set her back on the path to animal rights and away from PETA. The PETA kill room.The fact tha...2021-11-1759 min

This Week in Animal ProtectionDid an abused monkey pick your coconut?From traditional body lotions, soaps, and household cleaning products to cheeses, butters, and veggie burgers, coconuts and their various derivatives (including coconut water, coconut oil, and coconut milk) are everywhere. Coconut-based ingredients can be found in almost all shampoos and conditioners, most cosmetics and household products, and many foods. They are especially prevalent in vegan foods. In 2020, the number of plant-based products increased 14% over the previous year. Growth of meat alternatives “is projected to increase from $4.6 billion in 2018 to a whopping $85 billion in 2030,” but that will pale in comparison to dairy alternatives, which are “estimated to dominate the ove...2021-09-1508 min

This is the obvious expansion of no-kill, which Nathan played a huge role in making happen nationally.
We still have a long way getting to No-Kill America and Do No Harm is controversial, in part because of the need for money to pay for all the treatment that will be required to save injured/sick animals.
