Whose Skin Are You In? The Truth Behind the Animal Skins TradeEvery time you choose to buy a leather jacket or leather shoes, you

sentence animals to a lifetime of suffering. Buying leather directly

contributes to factory farms and slaughterhouses, since the skins of

animals are the most economically important byproduct of the

multibillion-dollar meat industry. The vast majority of animals

slaughtered for their skins suffer all the horrors of factory

farming--intense confinement, painful mutilations, deprivation, harmful

hormone and antibiotic injections, and cruel treatment during transport

and slaughter. Learn more about this trade and how YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCEon Vegan World Radio! today

 

 

Ingrid NewkirkPresident and Co-Founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

Very simply put, Ingrid Newkirk is a revolutionary. She is one of true pioneers of the 20th (and now, 21st) century in the animal liberation movement. A description of her background and accomplishments that would even begin to do her justice would require reams, but suffice it to say that without Ingrid, the animal rights movement would not be the force it is today.

Ingrid has described her beginnings thus: "I

left UK for India when I

was 8 and lived there until I was 16. I grew up in New Delhi and went to boarding schools in Simla

and Kodaikanal. It was experiences there, like finding a dog abandoned in a

drainage ditch and seeing a bull being beaten to his knees, that made me

determined to start a group to protect animals." *************************************************Interview with Margaret Morin, founder of Concerned Citizens for Jenny, a grass-roots Dallas Metroplex citizens
