By Nathan J. Winograd | October 18, 2020October 18, 2020 by Nathan J. Winograd

Today is the anniversary of PETA’s killing of Maya. On October 18, 2014, two PETA representatives backed their van up to a home in Parksley, VA, and threw biscuits to Maya, who was sitting on her porch. They were hoping to coax her off her property and give PETA the ability to claim she was a stray dog “at large” whom they could therefore legally impound. Maya refused to stay off the property and after…

Puppies received extra protection in Austin, TX, thanks to a new law. Despite whatever other calamities may have dominated the headlines throughout this most tumultuous of years, 2019 brought a lot of positive news for animals and people who love them. To quote Frank Sinatra: “it was a very good year.” There’s been a 90% drop in the pound killing of U.S. dogs and cats since the 1970s. Despite a doubling of the number of…

Horror at an El Paso Kill Shelter

By Nathan J. Winograd | November 1, 2019March 23, 2020 by Nathan J. Winograd

PETA’s call for a criminal investigation was warranted, but so is the need for an earnest campaign to reform the shelter and bring it and its cruel, outdated practices into the 21st century, as many communities throughout Texas have already done. Given to them by a whistleblower, PETA has released photographs showing conditions inside the El Paso, TX, pound that can only be described as horrific. The photographs show dogs being mauled by other dogs,…

Victory! Court Denies PETA’s Motion to Compel Disclosure of Confidential Informants

By Nathan J. Winograd | January 30, 2019February 3, 2019 by Nathan J. Winograd

Dear Friends and Colleagues: As many of you know, PETA demanded in court that I reveal the names of PETA employees who spoke to me on condition of anonymity about PETA’s killing of animals.

While news of PETA’s activities so often results in people asking, “What happened to PETA?” and “When did it become so corrupt?” these questions, in light of PETA’s history, are misguided and misinformed. Nothing has happened to PETA.

Understanding Friendly Fire

By Nathan J. Winograd | October 26, 2012November 2, 2012 by Nathan J. Winograd

We wrote Friendly Fire not only to expose this crisis of cruelty, but to explain the nature of the opposition to the No Kill movement so that others—animal lovers, public officials, legislators, the media—can find the confidence and courage necessary to see through, and stand up to, those who seek to delay and derail urgently needed shelter reform.
