he had genuine love for her. it was so sweet
It’s nice to see Bill have someone on that he genuinely likes and is impressed by 😊
That was my thought, too. Nice to know there are some humans he likes. :)
@@xzonia1 I think there are people he likes a lot. Although I don't get what he likes about Ann Coulter.
@@sanford943 True. I don't get that, either. She must be very different in person than she is on TV, but I can't get past the crap she pushes on people to believe.
I was going to post the same thing. It is not often that Bill has someone he admires supports. It is refreshing.
Maher, who has served on PETA's board for 18 years, credited the organization for bringing attention to animal abuse.
Wow I never knew this side of Bill Maher. Glad to see people waking up.
@Happy McNugget neither will i
He hates kids too.
People are not waking up.
Until you hold peta accountable for their practice of killing healthy animals because they dont want to use more than 1% of their budget then nothing g helps
@@mikemarek6243 You keep repeating this lie, but the organization's Annual Review is online, showing that more than 80% of its revenue is dedicated to programs that help animals:
annual-review.peta.org/year/
Why keep spouting your "alternative facts"?
If you didn't think you're superior to other sentient beings, it would be very obvious to you how unrelated these are... I hope you evolve to understand & appreciate that at some point in your life...Mr. or Ms. McNugget.
@Ann Stone i sitll think peta is not a good organzation to work with because it fells like every ad or thing they do cough cough steve irwin and animal crossing makes them a laughing stock I think other animal rights organization are better than peta because peta is a laughing stock with the internet its hard to take them seriously
Brigitte Bardot was the forerunner of the anti-fur movement. 'Remember' she said' 'When you wear a fur coat, you' re wearing a graveyard'. They laughed at her, they ridiculed her, but she never gave in.
She’s right
Ingrid is indeed a hero ❤️ Loved the book, it’s packed with fascinating stories and information.

Great interview. Thank you Bill and Ingrid❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Bill and Ingrid for your compassion and kindness and activism to protect the animals on our planet! You both are my heroes
Ingrid kills animals that she saves
ArtilleryFire that's fake news. Check your facts.
@@foxwithsocks47 i have checked my facts, none of them were fake

Are you high?
“We're not gods and animals aren't trash." Ingrid Newkirk
Well she loves throwing away animals that could’ve had happy homes haha She believes animals are better as trash than in your home. Instead of fighting against poor ownership. Just not as much money in that.
@@ari3lz3pp3lin Incorrect. PETA unlike "no-kill" shelters, take in the most injured animals around because ironically no one else cares if they can't rehome or sell them. The many critically injured animals they take in, are put down, that's not their fault, it's the people who breed (think about how nasty that is) and injure them in the first place.
@@Nobody-dm2ol yeah they are unlike them.
They kidnap pets and kill them
"We do not advocate the animals' right to life," Ingrid Newkirk
She's killed more animals and put them in dumpsters more than any human who's ever lived.
Thank you so much for having this guest on your show, and for giving a voice to the voiceless.
Thank you for caring. We need more like you in this world. I expected so much negativity on here and have seen much the opposite. Cheers.
If by giving a voice you mean needlessly killing up to 75% of the cats and dogs taken into your care regardless of if they can be released or rehoused then sure. Peta do good in some areas but overall their views are warped to the edge of extreme. When you end up senselessly killing the majority of the animals in your care can you really call yourself an animal rights activist?
@@beanholder3634 can you elaborate? I don’t know what you’re referring to and would like to learn.
@@beanholder3634 I just looked up their euthanasia policy. They say “It’s easy to point the finger at those who are forced to do the “dirty work” caused by a throwaway society’s casual acquisition and breeding of dogs and cats who end up homeless and unwanted, but at PETA, we will never turn our backs on neglected, unloved, or homeless animals-even if the best we can offer them is a painless release from a world that doesn’t have enough room for them in its heart or homes.” This seems very sensible to me. What’s your take?
@@arisspenjian1220 I read that too, as it is on their own website. I think It would be foolhardy of them to publicly state anything negative on their home site.
The founder of peta has gone on record as being fully against animal rehoming and pet ownership as a whole.
I personally think that a certain percentage of the animals they 'rescue' would be unfit for rehoming but if you look at the number of cats and dogs they kill annually compared to the number they take in, it's surprising high when compared to other non-profit organisations.
In 2019 they killed 1578 out of the 2421 cats and dogs they received. That's a 65.20% euthanasia rate with only 1.1% being adopted.
As high as that number is, it's lower than 2018 where they had a kill rate of 1771 out of 2470 (71.70%) with a 1.42% adoption rate.
These numbers are already astronomically high for a cat/dog shelter but by far their worst year is 2011.
1992 cats & dogs taken in, 1911 killed. Thats a kill rate of 95.9% with only 24 (1.2%) of them being rehomed.
Peta have undoubtedly done good work for animal rights, but their domestic pet shelters are essentially euthanasia clinics
Thank you Bill Maher also for speaking out for the animals who do not have a voice.
I have been a Jane Goodall follower since seeing her first National Geographic special on Chimpanzees. Thanks to Bill Maher and staff I can add Ingrid Newkirk. I have heard of PETA, but didn't really know much about it, guess where I'm going to go on the Internet after the show.
You should learn about how PETA kills the vast majority of the animals they take in.
PETA has the highest kill rate shelters in the country. They believe all animals should live free and roam the earth. All animals that are pets or in captivity are better off dead so they kill them all. Great people huh? Fuck peta!
If you admire the work of people who have dedicated their lives to conservation and the well-being of animals, look up biologist Carl Jones of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation who saved over a dozen endangered species, or Dr Birute Galdikas who founded the International Orangutan Foundation, the Waiapi tribe of Brazil that's protecting the Amazon, Sir David Attenborough being a vocal proponent of the conservation movement protecting the oceans, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson who specializes in ocean conservation and partners with the Blue Halo Initiative, or Steve Irwin's family (Terry, Bindi and Robert) dedicating their lives to saving Australia's biodiversity (especially now with the horrendous bushfires still raging on). These are compassionate people who have made it their live's work to preserve our biodiversity and the ecosystems that contain all life.
There are countless people that I would list before mentioning Ingrid Newkirk when it comes to conservation and animal protections. Be warned, she is not all lightness and compassion, and neither is PETA as an organization. When she speaks about "total animal liberation" in most cases it also means liberation from life itself.
Don't listen to the haters, multiple powerful industries have funded opposition campaigns to PETA for years, and this is unfortunately why many people now believe they are evil. They are a fantastic organization. The truth is, they operate one shelter that accepts all animals no questions asked, even ones that other shelters won't. Millions of animals are euthanized around the country each year. Support PETA.
@@davidk2187 OK, Paid PETA spokesperson. Moron.
Animal rights is just going to become a bigger and bigger issue as time goes on.
I appreciate the PETA sentiment, but unfortunately animals have no rights. Therefore, torturing and killing them is not immoral. In a world with 7 billion, unfortunately animals have to be kept in cages in their own feces so we can eat their meat. Unfortunate, but it's not fair to deny meat to a family in Asia or Africa because white people get upset.
If you want to torture animals to death, then go ahead. If you don't, then don't. But ultimately you cannot impose your morals on the rest of society.
@@mosesking2923 1. Animal rights is not a "white people" issue. White people are not the saviors of animals, rather the opposite.
2. Africa and Asia eat a million times less meat than the white, Western world. Asia holds the highest population of vegetarians. Meat is a higher cost, luxury item across the globe. It takes 10X more resources (water, land, feed) to produce meat than anything else.
3. Rights aren't tangible. Nobody has rights and everybody has rights. It's a social construct that is constantly being negotiated and debated and changed and progressed overtime. Your ideas of moral relativity are a form of imposing morality, literally cancelling out your own argument, in and of itself.
4. Various cultures and populations murder, rape and molest...again, moral relativity and "don't tell other people" is a stupid and irrelevant argument.
@@ncorp2668 *"White people are not the saviors of animals, rather the opposite."* skin pigmentation doesn't inform behaviour, unless your intention is to be racist. Isn't it enough that we have rampant speciesism?
@@veganath I'm pointing out the common myth that the white race is some sort of savior of animals and that white people are so "great" to animals, which is entirely not true. Human beings, of all races, are equally bad to animals. Human beings, of all kinds, are Nazis to animals.
@@veganath He had the "white people" in quotes...
Is that really what you want to pick on from a very detailed and argumented comment?
It was clarified ( my guess is specifically for you) under point 2... The white, western world.
Even as an eight year old child in 1968, I knew circuses were a sad and disgusting event.
I feel you. My last circus other than to protest, was in 3rd grade. Lol It's nice to see someone else here who has the compass to see the sad behind the entertainment, and actually DO something about it! Thank you!
Same . Circuses and zoos are depressing to me.
Yes we need to hold the Shriners accountable for continuing to fund wild animal abusers to line their pockets. No "charity", esp associated w/ kids should fund these predators many who have criminal records!
@@myrh-handbook4080 Well maybe you should learn about animal conservation and how animals are culled through hunting out aggressive members of flocks, herds, etc when they become potential threats to other members of the natural habitat. Peta is selling you a bunch of lies to get donations to keep in offshore accounts and then they take the money and buy into Facebook, Impossible Foods, and everything else. They are using your children, and wasting their time out of college to make them money. It's a fucking scam and none you are getting it.
So glad she mentioned vegan, and in regards to food. Loved her comment that there’s so much we can learn from animals.
Veganism is a made up arbitrary philosophy.
Ask yourself, which animals? ---> Why not field animals that are killed during farming "vegan" crops? Why not forest animals killed cutting down forests for paper, toilet paper, etc? Why not insects that are killed when farming, driving, excavating a homesite, walking with shoes on grass, etc.? Why not Humans that are enslaved and/or abused in cultivating cashews, avocados, or mining minerals for smartphones, etc? Why not "pets" that are caged, kept in a house all day, kept on leashes, not fed or allowed to relieve themselves until "allowed" by their "owner", etc.?
The pain and suffering endured by all of the above, and more, CAN INDEED BE ADDRESSED, but it would require giving up things that vegans don't want to give up so they arbitrarily cherry-pick the things they're comfortable giving up, call it a day, then pat each other on the back for being oh so righteous.
The lack of self awareness is sad really.
What did she learn? Well, apparently she can talk to non humans and believe that they are better off dead than living with humans. She is awful and her organization is just another corrupt one that gets your money but doesn't let you in on the horrific things they do to non humans.
TestingU 4Research wrong. While maybe there are some vegans who are unaware of the things you mention, most vegans I know are well aware of that and also have that affect their buying, i.e. not buying real leather, treating pets humanely, etc.
@@dagda16 SAID: "most vegans I know are well aware of that and also have that affect their buying, i.e. not buying real leather, ..."
REPLY: Which validates my point, they are cherry-picking what they are comfortable enough giving up and rationalizing away the myriad of other actions they could be taking.
dagda16 SAID: "...treating pets humanely, etc..."
REPLY: That's an oxymoron. "Owning" another being? Seriously? You control how it lives, what it eats, when it eats, when and where it relieves itself, and on and on - are you even thinking it through at all? or are you just rationalizing your "wants" and "feelings" as vegans often do?
TestingU 4Research I didn’t say that. I said most do indeed “take the myriad steps” to save animals in all ways. Furthermore are you vegan yourself? Because if you’re not then you can’t hate or debate someone who is, even if they cherry-pick as you say and only save factory farm animals, for example, because you’re not doing anything for animals yourself.
humankind needs to read animalkind ! I finally met Ingrid a couple of years ago and she is such a warm, compassionate loving human being ...I just love her !

"We're not Gods and animals aren't trash" Thank you!
She sure like to play god when she kills most of the animals including the healthy ones and calls it "the greater good"
Mike Marek what do you expect PETA to rent out football stadiums all over the world and house the huge amount of stray dogs indefinitely? It’s a shame people are so irresponsible and don’t spay and neuter their pets so there are tens of thousands of unwanted dogs. It’s a logistical impossibility to provide them all with food, shelter, veterinary care and eventually homes. But you don’t care, you just want to bash PETA with the same tired talking point. Yawn.
Yes, no one else is God other than me.

I cannot express in words how mich I adore this woman. One person cannot change the world? Well, look at what she has achieved. Thak you, Bill!
She has set modern dentistry back 100 years.
Thanks for bringing her on Bill, I was woefully unaware of who she is. What a great woman, legendary.
I appreciate how PETA kills 80% of all the animals it "saves." If I remember correctly they do this via industry sized fridges, everyone know the mist ethical way to kill an animal is to freeze it to dealth.

@@hedegaard8 I am not defending them...however, from what I understand, they do accept a lot of animals that are beyond saving. (Aggression issues, illness, etc) I admit I have my reservations about the organization. They are great at raising awareness of animal welfare....but....I also hear other ugly things. Confused. :(
@@hedegaard8 I have no problem with killing cats and dogs, there are lot of reasons to do so. However I don't go around claiming the world is cruel and that it should do better well not only doing the thing I say others are bad for. But also doing it in a inhuman a cruel way than the people I critizing.
Freazing animals to dealth is not the ASPCA approved method. Perhaps it different for people with no morals but believe they are superior for simply saying good sounding things. PETA has been virtual signalling since before the creation of the term.
Thank you Bill for this interview.
She was ahead of the curve. And the kids (future leaders) are on her side. Bravo.

Great, so just go down to your local animal shelter and offer to speed up their kill rates... that's what PETA does best.

What a great guest. Yes, more activists! More humble guests who are wise!
She is muderer in disguise. PETA kills healthy animals.
@@Annapurna818 YUP. I really wish people would research these organizations before they support them. I was a teen when I got into PETA, learned a lot, then learned the truth regarding Ingrid's true belief and I have been speaking out against them ever since. They steal money from caring people and kill perfectly adoptable non humans. I can't back something like that.
Elana Reinholtz PETA activists have tactics like infiltrating farms and egging on dumb employees to beat and torture livestock just so they can get it on tape. They are a terrible bunch.
@@indymarrow8050 THAT is a LIE. What PETA has done to expose the factory farming, circus, and exploitation and torture of animals are the ONLY GOOD things they HAVE done. They don't egg on anyone, the scumbags who work there do it REGARDLESS and PETA goes in undercover. Just like a police sting may take months to years to see through to the end, the same goes for that. So, even though I abhor PETA, don't spread lies because you want to eat your meat without guilt.
StarkRaving Ralph There are plenty of examples, dipshit. I know people very familiar with this incident. www.animalactivistwatch.com/animal-rights-activism/activists-accused-of-encougaring-animal-abuse/
If you want to catch animal abusers, don’t encourage it! Also PETA is guilty of killing several thousands of dogs alone. So you can go fuck yourself now.

So wonderful to hear this interview and even more to read many of the comments below. Made my evening.
great interview
I went vegan at 49 years of age at the prodding of my vegan daughter. That was over 7 years ago and my only regret? That I didn't do it sooner
Great interview! Bill is right, PETA has essentially had the animal rights movement on their backs and have been driving it forward for decades and Ingrid really is a hero. Many love to criticize them while doing nothing or advocating a do-nothing "don't offend anyone" approach. People can have their disagreements with individual things here and there, but ultimately they are trying (and succeeding) to end animal cruelty and everyone should support that.

This lady is amazing and thanks to Peta and my interest in animals , especially geese , I became a Vegan ..Thank you Ingrid Newkirk for your amazing work ❤️
nice interview, thanks for the upload.
She Has a lot more faith in humanity than I do these days. Americans put trump in office..a man with no empathy
Don't have faith in her. It's a smokescreen to hide her true self. She does not believe humans and non humans should live together. Her shelter adoption rates are almost zero because they euthanize instead of adopting out healthy, perfectly adoptable ones. She believes in the immediate banning and euth of all pitbulls, meaning she is FOR BSL. She's a hypocrite to the highest. All the truth is out there, but this comment section is filled with either willfully ignorant people, paid PETA trolls( they spend a lot for lobbyists, I have no doubt they'd stoop lower and pay for good pr on here), and well meaning but uneducated people. She believes that non humans would rather be dead than adopted ( because she can talk to non humans and they've told her this?) idk, why she would think for someone else, but she does and says they would be better off dead. And no, I'm not against undercover work they have done but as far as domestic and companion non humans, she wants them eradicated, instead of cared for.

The atrocities to animals was hidden. Thanks to Peta we see the truth in animal manufacturing of greed and cruelty. What a great show to have this person on to promote the love of our best friends and relatives.
she euthanizes healthy pets for no reason
I haven’t always agreed with how Ingrid used PETA to argue animal issues but her heart has always been in the right place.
After listening to some of the things that have been accomplished I feel more optimistic about the future.
Of course so much more needs to be done and soon (animal markets in Asia might kill us all) but when I first woke up about this issue so many years ago I never thought we’d get this far this fast.
Surprised her and Bill failed to mention Peter Singer.
Or how many healthy animals they killed in 2018(72% ) and another 85% in 2014.
I'd also love for her to explain how she manages to stretch that 1% of donations they use every year
C'mon Bill Maher, tell us all you're vegan, make it true! One of THE best interviews EVER! Thank you SO much Maher for this interview. Please do more content of this sort.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU BILL for giving PETA a platform!!!
God love you Ingrid ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
bravo!
I love you both so much for speaking up ❤️💕💕💕💕
Ingrid Newkirk is an amazingly progressive individual. If only more people would catch up and apply her philosophy.
If you love animals, don’t eat them.
what you just said makes no sense but ok
Why didn't he ask her about their animal "shelters"? Or their gore scare tactics the change no one's mind? Or how they implied that Steve Irwin deserved his death on his BIRTHDAY?
Heaven forbid that someone other than a corporation, lobbyist, or politician fights with their gloves off. I don't agree with all of their tactics (and it's a huge, broad organization at this point, not just Ingrid making ad and decision), but I support their message/outcome whole-heatedly, so I can forgive lack of taste in exchange for important results. Bill **clearly** wanted to use this time for a positive purpose and send the anti-animal cruelty message, rather than slag someone trying to do something genuinely good for people and the planet. Tough critic.
I was in the room when Ingrid & Alex announced the founding of PETA...& I suggested a shorter name. That was a long time ago...they've come a very long way...& this was a very heartwarming interview with an amazing human.
she euthanizes healthy pets for no reason
@@artilleryfire6576 Well, bravo for making a statement as if it was a fact, without even trying to find out the actual facts. Did it ever occur to you that what you wrote insinuates that the co-founder of THE LARGEST & MOST INFLUENTIAL ANIMAL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION IN HISTORY is or has 'euthanized healthy pets for NO EASON' would either be the biggest scandal in this arena, or it's a diabolical plot for something even more nefarious?!
How would YOU like it if I wrote that you write comments here (or elsewhere) strictly to feel important while being cowardly...WITHOUT even having spoken or met you...let alone known you & talked to you about this?!
So...ArtilleryFire (how fitting!) I highly suggest you KNOW what you're writing about...before you do. And regarding Newkirk, you are CLUELESS. Period.
A lot of this stuff is still happening today. Experiments on beagles, rabbits killed for their fur, animals trained to give tourists rides, and of course, factory farms.
"I mean the kids, they don't even like pubic hair, let alone fur." Hmmm... What about furries then? XD
Extraordinary cruelty requires extraordinary justification, and human pleasure is not it.

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, extraordinary harm and mistreatment requires extraordinary justification"
@The Last Danite Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be.
@@someguy2135 This.
@The Last Danite Nothing natural about the total enslavement, the total ownership, the rape of another species. Lions don't use factory farms, bud.
Extraordinary cruelty has no justification at all. Being cruel by choice is always an evil thing to do, what justification could there be?
Great interview!
She is a HERO indeed!!!
animals and equality, most children's schools are multinational and they do not understand why adults are so hateful, they get a long and love each other until the adults get involved. The future generations will take care of the animals better than any generations before us. they also believe in science, so humankind may pull its head out, at some point, i have hope. In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.

Would love to join. All the best keep up the great work John
Would love to join?
Did just do it and shut the fuck up
@@60zeller Hey-- a person expressed interest, and your rudeness to him could have just turned him away. That is not what PETA is. Does Newkirk talk to people like that? No. She persuades gently but strongly. "Shut the fuck up" is not what you say to someone who expresses a mild interest in your movement.
john bird: Sorry about 60zeller's answer to you. Most PETA people are not that way, and I'll bet that he or she has never donated. Please don't be put off by one rude person. Please do consider supporting PETA in its work to make the world a better place for animals. Most of the bad press about PETA is either myth or exaggerated. And they still need great help and support. There is a long long way to go. Go to www.PETA.org
Google PETA first...they have a long history of killing dogs and cats. Their “shelters” have over a 90% kill rate. They are against pet ownership and have been sued and fined for luring family pets off their property and then killing them.
john bird: and D William: In response to the statements that PETA kills almost all the animals in its shelters, please read this article in its entirety. It explains well the reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/national/religion/at-petas-shelter-most-animals-are-put-down-peta-calls-them-mercy-killings/2015/03/12/e84e9af2-c8fa-11e4-bea5-b893e7ac3fb3_story.html What these claimants do not say is that these animals (dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, etc etc) are in desperate terminally ill stages, beyond saving. They care for them lovingly, give them a last few moments of gentle treatment, then euthanize them. At the same time, PETA works unendingly to stop these atrocities from happening with close and cooperative work with companies, government, and others. Please do not let antagonists convince you that PETA is evil or hypocritical. You saw yourself what a gentle and sincere person Ingrid Newkirk is. Without PETA, there would be much more animal suffering, even more than there is now. They have done a great deal of productive work on behalf of all animals. Their successes are not headlines. But there are many. For example, PETA works every year to end the horrible dog beating rituals in Asia--dogs are beaten almost to death, then thrown in boiling water to be cooked and eaten,. Without PETA this will never ever stop. PETA has worked with other organizations and has managed to have laws enacted in Korea to stop the dog meat trade.
I’m sorry am I the only one who remembers what PETA said about Steve Irwin?
The Pelican Guy Omg yes! Steve Irwin is a saint. I usually never get offended on the internet. But this was ONE thing that truly effect me.
Fuck PETA
That was real touch feely. Thank you Bill and politically corrupt
"Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission -- to be of service to them whenever they require it." -- St. Francis of Assisi.
“Animals are God’s creatures. He surrounds them with his providential care. By their mere existence they bless him and give him glory. Thus men owe them kindness. We should recall the gentleness with which saints like St. Francis of Assisi or St. Philip Neri treated animals.”-Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 2416
The thinking [hu]man must oppose all cruel customs no matter how deeply rooted in tradition or surrounded by a halo . . . We need a boundless ethic which includes the animals also. - Dr. Albert Schweitzer
Stewardship, in the Christian tradition, implies protection. [Hu]Man should exist in harmony with the Earth, not work against it as is noted in Colossians 1:16-17
Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man. - Stewart Udall
A margin of life is developed by Nature for all living things - including man. All life forms obey Nature's demands - except man, who has found ways of ignoring them. - Eugene M. Poirot
Flora and fauna are master-pieces. "Nature is … perfection on Earth." MJS
Man is a guest in nature, not the master. We cannot escape our responsibilities towards all natural resources, as well as all living organisms on this earth. Symbiotic relationships preserve nature--and nature preserves all organisms that participate responsibly.
When it comes to having a central nervous system, and the ability to feel pain, hunger, and thirst, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. ~Ingrid Newkirk
From beasts we scorn as soulless,
In forest, field and den,
The cry goes up to witness
The soullessness of men.
~M. Frida Hartley
@The Last Danite get better soon
Thank you
Thank you.
@The Last Danite Killing someone isn't too cool though. Nonhuman animals are someones, just as you and I are.
@The Last Danite Lmfao you're crying
It was strange that bill didn't bring her to the panel, it seemed to be a way of sheilding her from scrutiny. Even presidential candidates sat beside bill and took questions from the panel.
Done on purpose so no one mentions PETA’s animal shelter which has a kill rate above 90% or that she belIves that humans should not have pets and would rather kill them then have them live with humans. She’s a nut.
Seriously Silly these one on one interviews happen every show. What would your questions have been?
@@DaPoopIsInDaPudding I would have least pushed back on sheep sheerers video, you can't use a video of one incident of animal cruelly to paint all farmers with that brush. I know sheep farmers and they do a lot to take care of their sheep on a daily basis. If we left sheep alone now, they would have to endure a horrible existence.
God bless you!!! 😘😘🙏🏻🙏🏻
On the topic of developing compassion for nonhuman animals, Bill Maher should invite Peter Singer and Hal Herzog on.
She is really quite amazing. Thank you Ingrid, for all you have done for animals.
Incredible Iconoclast and Visionary.
I'm a proud Conservative, Trump Supporter and firearms owner. As a vegetarian and an animal lover, God love you for your effort and passion.
Thank you.

Neither can a peta supporter
Peta: we care about animals
Sup: we do too
Peta: no animal should be harmed
Sup: we agree
Peta: we do everything in our power to find homes
Also peta: let's kill 70-80% of our healthy animals
Also
Peta: we need funding
Sup: here you go
Peta: with this donation we will save animals
Peta tax return: only 1% donations used for the helping of animals

Agolf Twittler is a bloated malignant narcissist & phony plutocratic populist who's presidency is a knife in the moral heart of America, a wound on our national soul that will take generations to heal…if ever.
Animal farming is an aberrant cruel thing for them and the Earth, habitats.
She's amazing
I love you Ingrid!!!!!
she euthanizes healthy pets for no reason
Bill Maher 🤗💗
So sad that that Bill is taken in by hervlies. I am vegan and love animals so knew long ago that PETA lies.
PETA's Ingrid Newkirk is a true inspiration to me. I'm reading her new book ANIMALKIND and I am loving all the wonderful animal stories so far.
I appreciate the PETA sentiment, but unfortunately animals have no rights. Therefore, torturing and killing them is not immoral. In a world with 7 billion, unfortunately animals have to be kept in cages in their own feces so we can eat their meat. Unfortunate, but it's not fair to deny meat to a family in Asia or Africa because white people get upset.
If you want to torture animals to death, then go ahead. If you don't, then don't. But ultimately you cannot impose your morals on the rest of society.
@@mosesking2923 But your sentiment that animals have no rights is literally just that...a sentiment. It's grounded in nothing. Rights are social constructs. We decide what constitutes rights, and it's constantly being debated and restructured all the time. Your ideas of moral relativity are imposing morality, in and of itself, literally cancelling yourself out.
@@ncorp2668 Exactly correct. Therefore, it is up to each of us. If you want to kill and torture animals, then go ahead. If you don't, then don't. Simple.
@@mosesking2923 Now apply that same logic to killing and torturing humans.
U r a fool. She lies
Thanks from Belarus!
I don't mean to say I hate PETA. They do fantastic work. But I have five colonies with 20 to 50 cats each who are fixed and will live out their lives well fed in little houses I've constructed. And I've sent pets to hundreds of other rescuers around the nation. There are a lot of big hearts out there. Humanitarianism isn't dead.
You are awesome, Bill! Keep speaking truth.
What are you feeding the cats?
I thought PETA was on the right track, and then I got on their mailing list. I used to defend them from those in my community(I'm in the South). Then they just got weirdly laughable(like an Onion article).
You need to flesh that claim out a bit if you hope to persuade anyone. Specifically what have they done that's laughable? Regardless, it sounds like they've done far more good than comedy.
@Larry Niles considering how bad PETA is, your opinion has been overridden
@@ThePebbleTribe - Without specifics, your comment is opinion, too.
They started a campaign to call fish 'sea kittens'
I'm in lousiana. It's a very difficult thing to have any non trump ideology these days down here. Nearing unsafe.
I did not know this about wool 😰
Educate yourself. Livekindly and Mercy for Animals, not PETA
I've seen it, and sadly it's even more sadistic than how Ingrid described it. She made it sound like they were being bludgeoned as merely part of the process as if increasing suffering isn't necessarily the goal, but in fact it was personal torture by the workers, for their individual pleasure. They would stomp on the sheep, or wrap an arm around its head and keep punching in the face with the other hand, as well as take their time wrestling its head to make it face them, then wind up and punch it hard in the face.
All of this being said, as horrific as what happens to animals behind closed doors in North America, it's even worse elsewhere -- China, by far, is on a whole other level entirely (and some of its Asian neighbours adopt a similar attitude). It's the country where human rights are dismal, so imagine how they treat animals. I won't go into details here; it has a huge subculture of absolute animal sadism (I mean this literally) you'd think no country would have ever allowed or its people (not all of the people of course, but alarmingly too many) ever think of doing.
I bet for every sheep that gets sheared violently and inhumanely, there are a thousand sheep that are handled with care during the shearing process. After all, the sheep is the "cash cow" of the wool industry and wool is one of the greatest natural fibers ever.
@@herbbluntman2287 - That could be true, and I wish we had more honest data gathering so we'd have a much more accurate view on the issue, but between that and the observation that industries have funded efforts to divert ethical criticism from their practices, I think we should generally default to the side of caution and continue to demand change from the cruelties we do see.
@@jaidev777 I agree. DOWN WITH FACTORY FARMING. The 19th century way is the best way to do it.
That's VERY IMPORTANT! Repect LIFE!
HE should have asked her about PETA´s stance on pitbulls!
