"The founder and president of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk, and bestselling author Gene Stone explore the wonders of animal life and offer tools for living more kindly toward them.

Animalkind is a fascinating study of why our fellow living beings deserve our respect, and moreover, the steps every reader can take to put this new understanding into action."

Tierrechtsaktivismus über den Tod hinaus

Die Gründerin und Präsidentin der Tierrechtsorganisation PETA, Ingrid Newkirk, hat ihren letzten Willen überarbeitet, um sicherzustellen, dass sie auch nach ihrem Tod auf die Misshandlung und Ausbeutung von Tieren aufmerksam macht. Weiterhin möchte sie ein Stück ihres Herzens an der Rennstrecke in Hockenheim vergraben lassen. Als grosser Formel-1-Fan dankt sie damit auch dem Rennfahrer und…

"In the introduction to his book Animal Liberation, Peter Singer says somewhat smugly that he and his wife have no animals and, in fact, don't much care for them. This is offered as evidence of his objectivity and ethical probity. But it strikes me as an odd, perhaps obscene underpinning for an ethical project that encourages university and high school students to cherish their ignorance of, say, great bird dogs as proof of their devotion to animals.

The question that needs to be asked - and that will put us in closer proximity to the truth - is not, do they have rights? or, what are those rights? but rather, what is a right? Rights originate in committed relationships and can be found, both intact and violated, wherever one finds such relationships - in social compacts, within families, between animals, and between people and nonhuman animals. This is as true when the nonhuman animals in question are lions or parakeets as when they are dogs..

Possession of a being by another has come into more and more disrepute, so that the common understanding of one person possessing another is slavery. But the important detail about the kind of possessive pronoun that I have in mind is reciprocity: If I have a friend, she has a friend. If I have a daughter, she has a mother. The possessive does not bind one of us while freeing the other; it cannot do that..

Dogs can have elaborate conceptions of human social structures, and even of something like their rights and responsibilities within them, but these conceptions are never elaborate enough to construct a rights relationship between a dog and the state, or a dog and the Humane Society. Both of these are concepts that depend on writing and memoranda, officers in uniform, plaques and seals of authority...

People who claim to speak for animal rights are increasingly devoted to the idea that the very keeping of a dog or a horse or a gerbil or a lion is in and of itself an offense. The more loudly they speak, the less likely they are to be in a rights relation to any given animal, because they are spending so much time in airplanes or transmitting fax announcements of the latest Sylvester Stallone antifur rally. In a 1988 Harper's forum, for example, Ingrid Newkirk, the national director of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, urged that domestic pets be spayed and neutered and ultimately phased out. She prefers, it appears, wolves - and wolves someplace else -to Airedales and, by a logic whose interior structure is both emotionally and intellectually forever closed to Drummer [Hearne's Airedale], claims thereby to be speaking for 'animal rights.'

She is wrong. I am the only one who can own up to my Airedale's inalienable rights. Whether or not I do it perfectly at any given moment is no more refutation of this point than whether I am perfectly my husband's mate at any given moment refutes the fact of marriage. Only people who know Drummer, and whom he can know, are capable of this relationship. PETA and the Humane Society and the ASPCA and the Congress and NOW - as institutions - do have the power to affect my ability to grant rights to Drummer but are otherwise incapable of creating conditions or laws or rights that would increase his happiness. Only Drummer's owner has the power to obey him - to obey who he is and what he is capable of - deeply enough to grant him rights and open up the possibility of happiness."

L'EFFONDREMENT DE LA SOCIÉTÉ MODERNE

Quiconque s’est consacré à la vérité de l’Écriture devrait être à même de constater que notre culture en général se désintègre rapidement aux niveaux moral, éthique et, par-dessus tout, spirituel. Les valeurs qui sont chères à la société dans son ensemble vont nettement à l’encontre des commandements divins.

Par exemple, le système judiciaire américain approuve le massacre de millions d’enfants à naître, tandis qu’un tribunal de Kansas City a récemment condamné une femme à quatre mois de prison pour avoir tué une portée de chatons non désirés1. Un tribunal de Janesville, au Wisconsin, a condamné un homme à douze ans de prison pour avoir tué cinq chats, dans le but de « se libérer d’un peu de tension »2. Ce cas était, sans nul doute, un clair exemple de cruauté envers les animaux. Cependant, deux jours à peine après que l’homme eut commencé à purger sa peine, un tribunal du Delaware a condamné une femme à seulement trente mois de prison pour avoir tué son nouveau-né. Elle l’avait jeté par une fenêtre du deuxième étage d’un hôtel, dans un conteneur à déchets, le cordon ombilical intact. Les faits ont démontré que le nouveau-né est décédé par suite de froid, de négligence et de nombreuses fractures du crâne3.

Il est évident que la société, dans son ensemble, ne croit plus que les êtres humains sont créés à l’image de Dieu et qu’ils sont fondamentalement différents des animaux.

En fait, la popularité croissante des groupes de pression pour les droits des animaux illustre parfaitement à quel point notre société s’éloigne des principes bibliques qui la guidaient. Tout en atteignant une popularité sans précédent, ce mouvement devient de plus en plus radical et s’insurge toujours plus contre la vision biblique de l’humanité. Ingrid Newkirk, fondatrice du mouvement People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) affirme : « Il n’y a aucun fondement rationnel qui permet de dire que les êtres humains disposent de droits particuliers. Quand il s’agit d’avoir un système nerveux central, de ressentir la douleur, la faim ou la soif, le rat est semblable au porc, qui est semblable au chien, qui est semblable à l’enfant »4. Pour Newkirk, il n’y a pas de différence entre les atrocités de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et le fait de tuer des animaux pour en tirer de la nourriture : « Six millions de Juifs sont morts dans les camps de concentration, mais six milliards de poulets mourront cette année dans les abattoirs »5.

Ce genre d’idées gagne en popularité dans la société en général. Certaines des célébrités parmi les plus connues et les plus respectées de notre culture répètent ce genre de commentaires, souvent sous le couvert de la compassion. Mais une perspective aussi tordue de la « bonté » envers les animaux se transforme bientôt en une méchanceté sans borne vis-à-vis de l’homme créé à l’image de Dieu. On peut avoir un aperçu des répercussions inévitables que de telles idéologies auront sur l’héritage que les parents transmettent à leurs enfants dans une affirmation de Michael Fox, vice-président de la Human Society of the United States, ligue américaine de protection des animaux : « La vie d’une fourmi et la vie de mon enfant devraient avoir la même valeur »6. Quelles seront donc les valeurs de la culture de nos enfants ?

La société foisonne de tendances effrayantes de ce genre. L’avenir est inconcevable pour une société dépourvue de normes morales qui déterminent ce qui est bien et ce qui est mal. Déjà, nous sommes prêts à condamner à l’emprisonnement des personnes qui ont tué des animaux, tout en aidant les avorteurs à tuer des enfants.

Où s’en va notre culture ? Quel genre de valeurs, de moralité et de monde préparons-nous pour la prochaine génération ? En tant que chrétiens, plantons-nous des arbres qui procureront de l’ombre à nos enfants ou les laissons-nous à la merci de leur environnement ?

Ingrid Newkirk asks, “How did we get the Easter Bunny?”

I celebrate Easter as a secular holiday. One of the saddest ways that people celebrate Easter is by giving rabbits as gifts.

Rabbits are the third most commonly surrendered animal at animal shelters, behind only dogs and cats. I work with many different animal shelters and rescues, and after Easter we have an influx of rabbit surrenders. This happens during kitten season. We are bursting at the seams and overwhelmed.

Never give animals as gifts. If you want to give someone a rabbit for Easter make it a plush one. Those of us involved in the homeless animal crisis and the rabbits will thank you.

PETA president plans to donate her flesh for sizzling post-death human barbecue: 'Fry up with onions'

FOX News By Hannah Grossman June 5, 2023 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) President Ingrid Newkirk said she updated her will to include a request for her flesh to be donated for a “human barbecue,” according to a Monday announcement.  “Flesh is flesh, and mine is given, not taken,” Newkirk said. “[T]he thought of carving up human flesh for steaks might be just the thing to jolt…

PETA founder makes GRUESOME request in her will for her windpipe to be sent to Crufts

A dire request from the founder of the animal rights group PETA will see the organization attempt to send part of her body to King Charles after she dies. Never a stranger to controversy, animal rights extremist Ingrid Newkirk has long said she will have her flesh fried in a human barbecue after death, to persuade people against eating meat. Now, aged 73, she has updated her will with grisly…

PETA defends Kylie Jenner’s polarizing lion head dress: ‘Fabulously innovative’

Relax folks, it’s faux. While Kylie Jenner’s wild look for Monday’s Schiaparelli Haute Couture show — a black velvet gown topped with a giant, lifelike lion head — might’ve seemed to be PETA’s worst nightmare at first glance, the animal rights organization is totally on board. In a statement shared with Page Six Style, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk hailed the Schiaparelli collection’s…

-convincing some of the world’s largest fashion brands not to use fur

-animal-testing bans by thousands of personal-care companies

-ending the use of animals in automobile crash tests

-closing the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey’s Circus

-exposing thousands of instances of animal cruelty across the world

Wounded inside and out

I grew up believing in service to my country, and that if we go to war we go to war together. On top of which, I felt that strongly, and still do, that ignoring your obligations is wrong. So when the Vietnam War began, I went. I believed what we were being told by the government and the press. I believed in a communist threat. It took me several years to wake up. Not that I came back a protester: I didn't. I came back neutral and alienated, wounded inside and out, tormented by all I'd seen: the carnage, the misery, the suffering, and the aggression of the human race. 

When I got back, there was little support for veterans. Very few had heard of posttraumatic stress disorder. I was very lucky to be reintegrated back into society, to find my first wife, to get an education. Lots of soldiers didn't make it back at all or never found their way after they did.  

I was in the Twenty-Fifth Infantry Division and First Cavalry Division, and saw quite a bit of combat in the ground war during 1967 and 1968. I wasn't at the My Lai massacre, but I saw that kind of behavior. Our mission had become distorted, reduced to a survival course. What with the beginning of race issues, and small-scale mutinies, where enlisted men were refusing to take orders from the officers, and the drugs, everything was starting to go wrong. What can I say? Vietnam is a state of mind, what happened there is still going on somewhere else. This both frustrates and saddens me. People are now too young to remember the damage of that war and haven't elected to study it, or those old enough to remember, don't. It could have been a war that brought about a collective shift in perspective, but instead, in the nineties, you could see the march to war beginning all over again. The war in Iraq is a totally logical result of our aggression mentality turned outward.
