Some people do not seem to realize that just owning a pet isn’t enough. They need as much love and care as any human being. The fieldworkers of PETA are working 24 hours a day attending to emergencies in north-eastern Carolina and south-eastern Virginia all-round the year. Their actions touched the pitiable lives of innumerable animals that face terrible neglect and abuse but got a new life thanks to PETA.
