Statement from the Reporter’s Committee for Freedom of the Press

By Nathan J. Winograd | January 8, 2019 by Nathan J. Winograd

On Dec. 20, PETA filed a motion in California state court to require Nathan Winograd to reveal the identities of his confidential sources who worked at PETA and disclosed information about PETA’s practices. Last week, he filed an opposition invoking his rights under the California Constitution’s shield law & the #FirstAmendment reporter’s privilege, which apply to those engaged in acts of journalism — gathering information from confidential sources with the intent to publish it.

Update: PETA Subpoena

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

As many of you may know, PETA has demanded that I reveal the names of individuals who have worked at PETA and spoke to me on condition of anonymity about PETA’s killing. The information they provided was used to corroborate newspaper articles, on the record sources, government documents received under the Public Records Act, testimony and information from civil and criminal cases against PETA, photographs, videotape evidence, and admissions by PETA officials. Their testimony was…

Snoping Snopes

By Nathan J. Winograd | November 23, 2018March 23, 2020 by Nathan J. Winograd

Shining a light on Snopes.com’s lack of objectivity and due diligence when it comes to PETA. Snopes.com claims as its mission truth-seeking, writing that it “lights the way to evidence-based and contextualized analysis.” But when it comes to PETA, it has utterly failed in that regard. Recently, it claimed to do such “evidence-based and contextualized analysis” regarding the authenticity of a postcard Ingrid Newkirk, PETA’s founder and the architect of their mass killing and…

Meritless PETA Lawsuit on Verge of Collapse

By Nathan J. Winograd | November 20, 2018December 3, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

One of the healthy puppies killed by PETA, after PETA staff promised they would find a home. For more than two decades, I have been working to expose the grisly truth about PETA: that far from being a voice for the rights of animals as is commonly believed, employees at PETA headquarters in Norfolk, VA commit daily violence against them, injecting thousands of healthy puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and other animals every year…

Are Avocados, Almonds, Coconuts & Palm Fruit Vegan?

By Nathan J. Winograd | November 12, 2018December 9, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

Animal Rights Philosophy in the Age of Social Media Clickbait (by Nathan & Jennifer Winograd) Are avocados, apples, and almonds vegan? What about coconut-based, non-dairy cheeses or butters made with palm oil? To some, these may seem like odd questions with a self-evident answer: Yes. After all, almonds, apples, avocados, palm fruit, and coconuts all come from plants. But for those who embrace veganism for ethical reasons, like we do, the answer has to…

Rest In Peace, Maya

By Nathan J. Winograd | October 18, 2018December 6, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

Today is the anniversary of PETA’s taking of Maya from her home and her illegal killing just a few hours later. On October 18, 2014, two PETA representatives backed their van up to the porch and threw biscuits to Maya, who was sitting on her porch, trying to coax her off the property and give PETA the ability to impound her as a stray dog “at large.” In Virginia, PETA is licensed as an “animal…

Between PETA and Donald Trump Jr.

By Nathan J. Winograd | October 5, 2018December 3, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

“Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle:” I oppose Ingrid Newkirk because under her direction, PETA employees seek out and either kill or cause to be killed thousands of animals every year, including healthy puppies and kittens. This is not only immoral, it is cruel. I oppose Donald Trump & Co. because not only are his policies cruel to his family and to other people,…

PETA issues a subpoena demanding I turn over confidential informants for my book, “Why PETA Kills.”

By Nathan J. Winograd | August 30, 2018December 6, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

In defense of their safety, the safety of animals, and my First Amendment rights, I will NOT be doing so. Please help me. For more than two decades, I have been working to expose the grisly truth about PETA: that far from being a voice for the rights of animals as is commonly believed, employees at PETA headquarters in Norfolk, VA commit daily violence against them, injecting thousands of healthy puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, rabbits,…

PETA Donations & Taxpayer Funds Used to Kill Kittens

By Nathan J. Winograd | February 16, 2018February 16, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

I just received documents obtained through the Public Records Act demonstrating how PETA delivers healthy cats and kittens to local pounds in order to kill them. These documents show that PETA uses donations given under the mistaken belief that the organization will use those donations to save animals to round up healthy cats and kittens and have them poisoned instead. Among the dead are 9-week old kittens, 10-week old kittens, 4-month old kittens, and…

Another Grisly Year at PETA

By Nathan J. Winograd | February 1, 2018December 3, 2018 by Nathan J. Winograd

In 2017, PETA continued to act as the functional equivalent of a slaughterhouse, with more than a thousand defenseless animals dying at the hands of their employees. Just released records submitted to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) by PETA add 1,842 companion animals to the 32,744 documented killings we know have occurred so far at the hands of PETA employees. Tragically, for yet another year, officials at that agency who are…
