Dear Friend,

When Ingrid Newkirk launched PETA in 1980, she knew that if people saw the many ways animals are abused and exploited, society's attitudes toward them would change. Fast-forward to today and speciesism is one of the hottest topics around the world.

Ingrid's 71st birthday is this week, and I'm hoping to celebrate by sharing with her birthday greetings from thousands of kind PETA supporters who've been inspired by her life's work for animals.

As a PETA supporter, you've likely heard about her many notable accomplishments, including her work in India—her childhood home—where she founded Animal Rahat, an organization that improves the lives of tens of thousands of abused and neglected animals each year.

I've had the privilege of seeing firsthand how Animal Rahat rushes to the aid of some of the most overworked animals in the world. From caring for the residents of its peaceful, 10-acre sanctuary to scouting the streets for abused or injured animals, its team of experts works 24/7/365—through monsoon floods and pandemic lockdowns—to help bullocks, horses, donkeys, dogs, camels, cats, and others who have no one else to count on.
