People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals 501 Front St., Norfolk, VA 23510 In a guest blog post for PETA, Dr. Amanda Reiman explained how medical marijuana helped her cat Monkey pass away from cancer in peace. As a policy manager for the Drug Policy Alliance in California, she knows the ins and outs about drugs and their regulations. Her beloved cat, Monkey, received a diagnosis for intestinal cancer. I did witness [PETA] bring back a pit bull to the Norfolk location. This pit bull was wagging its tail, jumping (an obvious friendly dog; not feral) while receiving praise, treats and getting pet by the [two PETA] employees. It was the end of my shift, so I was cleaning and restocking, which required me to go into their shed for supplies. More than 26,000 mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids were saved after PETA revealed horrific abuse at the major pet-trade supplier U.S. Global Exotics, Inc., including animals confined to severely crowded and filthy soda bottles, milk jugs, litter pans, cattle-feeding troughs, and barren wire cages as well as employees putting hundreds The law also set a shelter kill rate cap of 70%, around 15% less than PETA’s average kill rate, according to our calculations. In 2017, PETA faced a lawsuit for stealing a family dog named Maya and euthanizing the pup that same day. The lawsuit was later settled for almost $50,000. PETA also faced a fine for not waiting the 5-day grace period Space for pets traveling in the cabin or in the cargo compartment is subject to availability. For travel on Alaska Airlines, please contact Alaska Airlines reservations at 1-800-252-7522. If your plans include travel on another airline, please contact the partner airline directly to reserve space, determine fees and obtain additional information. The tendency is to wait too long, at the expense of the animal you love. If your animal companion is very nervous, you may want to obtain a dose of tranquilizer from your veterinarian and administer it two hours before the appointed time for euthanasia. The veterinarian will be able to give the injection to a relaxed patient more easily. Animal Rights Uncompromised: PETA on Pets: published on PETA’s website, January 8, 2007 “I don’t use the word “pet.” I think it’s speciest language. I prefer “companion animal.” For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. WElWn.
