Edie Falco Urges Families To Skip The Circus

Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:45:00 +0000

With Ringling Bros. headed to Brooklyn this week, Emmy-winning actor and Brooklyn native Edie Falco is starring in a new PETA video in the hope that her fellow New York City parents will keep their kids far away from the circus.

Video: Actor Edie Falco Urges Families to Skip the Circus

In the video, she says, “I’m a mother. I cannot imagine having my children taken from me and forced to spend the rest of their lives away from everything that matters to them.” Falco’s video reveals how baby elephants—with whom females would have stayed for their entire lives in the wild — used by Ringling Bros. are stretched out, slammed to the ground, shocked with electric prods, and mercilessly beaten with bullhooks to teach them to obey and perform the confusing, unnatural, and physically taxing tricks of a circus routine.

Olivia Munn Reveals Shocking Footage Of Chinese Fur Farms

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 20:00:00 +0000

You’ve never seen anything like this before: Shocking new video footage captured by PETA Asia undercover investigators on Chinese fur farms reveals “who’s really paying the ultimate price” for fur, according to The Newsroom star Olivia Munn in PETA’s new video exposé.

Video: Olivia Munn Exposes Never-Before-Seen Footage on Chinese Fur Farms

The hard-hitting new video about fur farms in China, the world’s largest fur exporter, opens with never-before-seen footage of workers on a fur farm placing a dog’s head in a wire noose, restraining her, and genitally electrocuting her with a metal rod. Workers bludgeon raccoon dogs, cut off rabbits’ heads, and rip the fur off still-living animals’ bodies as they writhe in pain. Workers throw cages crammed with dogs and cats—many of whom are still wearing the collars placed on them by their loving families—to the ground, shattering the animals’ bones. And often, fur from China is mislabeled as fur from another species so that consumers cannot be confident that they know whose fur they are really wearing.
