Ingrid Newkirk Once Loved Fur, Ate Way Through Animal Kingdom
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 20th, 2009 in Animal Issues.
Ingrid Newkirk’s story proves even the most carnivorous human can change.
The president and co-founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has recently revealed she didn’t always care for animals-unless they were on her back or plate.
In her new book, The PETA Practical Guide to Animal Rights, Newkirk writes, “There was nothing I loved more than my fur jacket. In my 20s, I was eating my way through the animal kingdom, and what I didn’t eat I wore.”
Wow. PETA queen was the queen of pork and mink?
Who would’ve thought?
