Episode Description

How did PETA rise to international prominence seemingly overnight? We sat down with the founder of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk, to discuss that fateful laboratory infiltration in 1981 and what came after. With PETA or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, she exposed the horrid conditions that animals were facing as part of the lab's unregulated primate testing. Ingrid also talks more about PETA’s mission, her life's goal, and the topic of her new book- Animalkind: Remarkable Discoveries about Animals and Revolutionary New Ways to Show Them Compassion. She also highlighted an important lesson, anyone has the power over their money and where they spend it, and that is what change and the spread of kindness hinges upon, for animals and everyone.
