I think its really cool that this organisation has the involvement of celebrities and people like Oprah. The more they get the message out there, the more people will take notice and work together to overcome this horrible issue.

There are so many different ways animals are abused and i really like how PETA includes animals that are used in Labs. I hate hearing how animals have things tested on them, without knowing what the results could be. Its good to know that there are people trying really hard to put a stop to it.

Yeah, I think with high profile celebs backing this organsisation, it will hopefully help them in achieving what they need too.
They are doing a great thing by helping the animals and the more people they have to support them the better I say...

a good quote a found by PETA...

"PETA believes that animals ... are capable of suffering and have an interest in leading their own lives; therefore, they are not ours to use — for food, clothing, entertainment, experimentation, or any other reason. — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals"

makes you think doesnt it! its so true!

Christy Turlington- "I'd rather go naked than wear fur"
