Hi. I'm Indy. May 23, 2008

Hi. My name is Indy, and I'm peta2's new Cute Campaign Coordinator. I enjoy making ladies' hearts skip a beat, peeing in the PETA dog park, and scaring the crap out of squirrels. I also enjoy naps, but really who doesn't love an afternoon snooze? My favorite food is vegetarian deli slices and my favorite band currently has got to be The Dillinger Escape Plan.

It's always fun to come into the office with my buddy Wheels since I get to hang out with a bunch of other dogs here. Here are some pics of me.

I've been in the office for the last few weeks as you can see here, but will soon make my way to West Virginia. I'll be working hard to raise awareness about the plight of all cute and non-cute animals who are suffering due to the greed of pet stores and breeders, and other industries that exploit animals.

Unfortunately, not every animal is as cute as me, so that's why it's up to me to get out there and be a representative for my friends in the animal world. I'm confident that you humans will realize how horribly animals suffer for stupid stuff like those fur coats, buckets of flesh, and all that.

I was hoping you can do me a favor. The issue of adopting animals is really close to my heart. After all, I was adopted and know that for every animal bred or sold at a pet store, another one just like me is going to be killed.

So please never buy an animal, only adopt. Please! The folks in peta2 need your help.

I'm going to go for a walk now and then it's back to work. But take care and maybe I'll check in another time with you humans.

In cuteness,
-Indy

To Adopt or Not to Adopt? That is the Question! February 20, 2008

Here's a special guest blog from Martin with peta2 UK.

Looking at the news today I find it alarming that there has been a sudden increase in the sales of reptiles due to the David Attenborough program on BBC1, Life in Cold Blood. Now don't get me wrong, I have watched most of the series and it is amazing, but I can't see how and why after seeing these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat you would then want to confine them to a shortened, miserable life in captivity.

On a different note, with the current release against the AKC I thought I should mention the UK. Millions of animals go through shelters in this country and by buying from a breeder you are putting a dog that would otherwise have had a chance of being the perfect companion to death. Both me and Violet in the PETA UK office have rescued animals. So I though we should introduce you to them.

Check out Delilah. Basically she rocks. She's a 2 year old American Bulldog who we rescued from this shelter. After searching for ages and waiting till my home life was right to commit to 2 hours walking a day and the inevitable expense of food and vet bills we went to meet her and she is a crazy.
