Meet the People Who Are Putting Compassion Into Action for Animals
Just like you, the following are people who want animals to live free from abuse and as nature intended. And they’ve taken action through a gift in a will or trust, or by beneficiary designation to support and sustain PETA today and into the future. Meet some of these extraordinary champions for animal rights.

“We have been PETA members for many years, donating generously and naming PETA in our will, because PETA has done more for animals than
any other animal rights group in the world!”
Connie Haeder
“Alongside my love for and devotion to my family and my faith is my deep love for defenseless animals. Every day, I stand in awe and support of the vital work that PETA does to end speciesism. After attending one of the group’s events, I had a greater understanding of its mission and remarkable leadership. This was instrumental in confirming my decision to name the organization in my estate plans.”

Because of my family medical history—ranging from the dementia and Parkinson’s disease that took my father’s life to Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, autoimmune disorders, and other ailments affecting my mother and sister—I used to contribute financially to research that was supposed to end the diseases that affected us. But now that I’m aware that many organizations fund horrific testing on animals, I no longer support them and instead petition the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute on Aging to end their cruel experiments. And I am leaving 90% of my money to PETA and other organizations that are protecting animals from this abuse.
It makes me happy to know that I can leave a legacy that will help advance the ethical treatment of animals. And while I’m alive, I want to assist PETA and do all that I can. My priorities include increasing animal advocacy in faith communities, helping to stop the funding of useless animal experiments done in the name of medical research, and pushing for the use of technologically advanced non-animal testing methods. Thank you, PETA, for all the good that you do for animals.

“I’m proud to be a PETA member/supporter for over 25 years. I like that PETA is creative and imaginative in the ways it calls attention to animal cruelty, abuse, and exploitation.”

I’m proud to be a PETA member/supporter for over 25 years. I like that PETA is creative and imaginative in the ways it calls attention to animal cruelty, abuse, and exploitation. I believe PETA “put legs on” the animal rights movement, and PETA gets results. I like that PETA is tenacious and unapologetic about exposing anyone who abuses animals. PETA sets a high standard showing that ALL animals matter, and PETA is an inspiration for my animal advocacy. I appreciate that peta2 helps teach the young generation that it is cool to love animals and be kind to them. And PETA says it’s sexy to be vegan, regardless what age I am.

PETA is my inspiration and support. The more I become involved with PETA, the more I am impressed by its resolve, effectiveness, and efficiency. Of course, all this work takes resources, and that is why I made PETA the beneficiary of my retirement plan. I know of no better legacy than to continue helping animals even after I’m gone!

“We also support PETA however we can, because they are the ones who are actually getting things done, on so many different fronts.”

Ingrid Newkirk has often said and written that “you” can make a difference in helping animals. We put these words into practice when we retired to Key Largo several years ago and opened a free spay/neuter clinic. We also support PETA however we can, because they are the ones who are actually getting things done, on so many different fronts. They are not just talking about it, they are changing our society. And we want PETA to continue their great work even after we are gone.

“When I discovered PETA’s Augustus Club, I realized that leaving a gift to PETA in my will was yet another way I could help animals even after I was no longer around.”

When I discovered PETA’s Augustus Club, I realized that leaving a gift to PETA in my will was yet another way I could help animals even after I was no longer around. Although my retirement years are still pretty far away, I already have a good idea how I will be spending my time, and I cannot wait. Somehow I have become one of those radical PETA members I used to hear about, and I am so thankful for that!

Due to PETA’s extraordinary attention-grabbing efforts, many people now know that animals suffer on factory farms, in labs, and in circuses. Because of that, I have listed PETA as a major beneficiary in my will. I truly believe in PETA’s methods and feel that they are the most effective force out there pushing society toward just treatment of animals.
