 Animal Crackers: Ingrid Newkirk: A Non-Apology Apology
Ingrid Newkirk, PeTA's co-founder and president appears to be publicly apologizing for PeTA's disgusting "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign, an outrageous effort by PeTA to liken the Nazi policy to exterminate 6 million human beings to eating meat.
But Newkirk's argument only works if you accept her unsupported premise that a human and a chicken, dog or rat are of equal moral importance, and none should be privileged over another.
If Ms Newkirk were serious about apologizing, she could well apologize for selling an attitude (marketed as an ideology) that can so breezily justify saving one's pet from a burning building rather than another human being, on the grounds that each life is of equal worth, neither to be privileged over the other.

 Interview with Ingrid Newkirk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The name Ingrid Newkirk and the organisation that she cofounded 21 years ago will go down in the annuls of animal rights history as the one that revolutionised the way in which we all look at animals and what animal rights are all about.
Newkirk has developed her belief that "animals have a worth in and of themselves, that they are not inferior to human beings but rather just different from us and they really don't exist for us nor do they belong to us."
Without hesitation Newkirk – like the trooper she is – unreservedly agreed to answer all those sticky questions.

And Newkirk's statement made no mention of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, to which PETA should apologize for misappropriating the pictures used in the exhibit.

 What Ingrid Newkirk thinks about Pits   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
I can't let Newkirk off the hook for this, because if she REALLY gave the subject some careful thought she would realize that what she proposes is not the best solution.
I think that Newkirk is overlooking what many of you have mentioned: banning something or making it illegal does not STOP the behavior-especially when people who are really intent on abusing or "using" animals will do it behind closed doors (as is the case with dog fighting rings).
Although Newkirk's motives are understandable (to prevent the suffering of Pit Bulls), her proposed solution is discriminatory and would most likely not solve the problem.

The animals' plight is horrific, the people who left animals behind, thinking they'd be back in a day or so, and those who had them taken from their arms, are also hurting over the condition of dogs, cats, horses and other animals down there.
PETA and anyone who risks their health (both mental and physical) and safety to save victims of Katrina, whether they are animal or human victims, deserves all the support we can give them.

While surfing the web the other day I ran across an interview with Ingrid Newkirk published on an Australian animal liberation site.
Anyway, the interviewer asks Newkirk several questions related to accusations from Gary Francione and others that in reaching accommodations with Burger King that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had softened its abolitionist stance.
For example, I don't think people should ride horses (which has been too radical for even an animal rights feminist publication to print in the U.S., believe it or not), but if I see someone beating a horse I'm going to try and stop them even if I can't take their horse away from them.

 Ingrid Newkirk on Buchanan and Press   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
I happened to tune into MSNBC's Buchanan and Press on Friday, May 2, and saw an interview with Ingrid Newkirk that surprised and delighted me. Newkirk and the hosts discussed a recent case of an alligator hooked up "like a trailer" (as Newkirk described it) by Fish and Wildlife officers, and dragged down the street.
Have you been able to make any progress?" As the campaign was discussed, viewers saw wonderfully horrible footage of baby chicks having their beaks sliced off, and chickens living in appalling conditions and being tossed like cabbages into trucks on their way to slaughter.
Buchanan also asked Newkirk about her unusual will, then closed the interview with: "OK, we hope you'll stick around for a little while, Ingrid, before you carry out this little plan of yours....Thank you for coming on.
