"Every time I dress I know I'm not wearing leather, and that's a great
feeling."
"I've always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don't fake or hide their feelings, and they
are the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we're smarter—what a joke."
(Chicago Sun Times)

Ingrid Newkirk isn’t just the President of PETA, she’s also a militant activist. She’s soaked herself in fake blood, of course, but she’s also been arrested more than 20 times. And she’s an avowed supporter of the terrorist Animal Liberation Front.
