- "Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any way." PETA.org
Although some of the laws endorse the use of animals for science, research, and other aspects, PETA has been able to bring attention to its cause to help animals, but the true cause to stop all abuses, like people eating meat, making them family pets, and not using them for experiments, will not happen. However, laws are in place to stop the major abuses.
