VANGUARD SOCIETY AND AUGUSTUS CLUB MEMBERS
My sister and I have been proud members of PETA for 35 years, and we share the same belief: “Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.” We’re so grateful for PETA! They’re our heroes— brave, fearless, and fighting relentlessly every day to end the suffering of all animals. The organization brings to light the horrific cruelty humans inflict on animals and inspires us to take action to do our small part until all animals live in peace without fear of abuse.

AUGUSTUS CLUB MEMBERS
We support PETA because we trust its mission and the amazing people on its team. The group has truly made us feel like a part of the extraordinary work it does to help animals every day. As members, we not only see its global impact but also gain insight into its exciting and inspiring frontline work. We also get to peek behind the scenes to understand the keys to its success and learn how to become better animal advocates. We’re honored to know that our contribution to PETA makes a difference.

Many groups target an aspect of the animal welfare puzzle and attempt good things by providing sanctuary, but only PETA takes on all kinds of animal protection—and exposes abuse so that people can take action against it through demonstrations, laws, and changing their behavior. PETA is the A+ organization of our times, and it has compassion for all animals as its core value. Ingrid Newkirk and all who work for PETA are heroes. It’s the place to put your money to help stop all injustices to animals!

AUGUSTUS CLUB MEMBER
Every day I make it a point to sign PETA’s online petitions—time well-spent indeed while PETA exposes yet another animal laboratory scandal or shutters a dog meat farm or roadside zoo. PETA’s unstoppable interventions are a lifeline in the heart-wrenching abyss of cruelty, greed, and ignorance.
Laura O’Neill
VANGUARD SOCIETY AND AUGUSTUS CLUB MEMBER
I’m thrilled with the advances made by PETA. The organization makes such an enormous difference in the lives of so many animals. When I reflect on where we were just a few years ago, I see great strides being made in animal rights. As long as there are people on Earth, we’ll have to keep fighting uphill battles. I, for one, won’t give up.
Arnold Shapiro and Karen MacKain
VANGUARD SOCIETY AND AUGUSTUS CLUB MEMBERS
PETA supporters for 35 years, we love that they fight animal abuse comprehensively—in all its forms in every state and other countries. We love that PETA uses creative, powerful, and often unorthodox methods to eliminate cruelty to all animals in all ways. PETA gets results, effects positive changes throughout society, and will never stop fighting.
Jean Johnson
VANGUARD SOCIETY MEMBER
I support PETA because it goes to the ends of the Earth to stop animal abuse. The group is tenacious and does an excellent job of enlightening the world about the immorality of speciesism, showing how easy and healthful it is for humans to live comfortably without harming other animals.
Sarah Bridges
VANGUARD SOCIETY AND AUGUSTUS CLUB MEMBER
Our farm is filled with rescued dogs and vegetarian humans. Supporting PETA was an expression of my lifelong love for animals. We’re all interconnected—without the humane treatment of animals, our moral well-being slips. PETA makes that treatment possible.
Phillip and Kara Stripling
VANGUARD SOCIETY MEMBERS
We support PETA because of its brave work to get people to remember what they were trained to forget by our often cruel systems: that animals deserve the same protections, dignity, and compassion that we humans intuitively extend to other humans. PETA’s work wakes people up and gets people to take action to make our world better for all animals. Thank you, PETA!
