The Humane State

New Jersey Becomes First State Ever to Ban Traveling Wild-Animal Acts

“Nosey’s Law”; prohibits use of elephants and other wild or exotic animals in traveling animal acts.

Best moment in the national park.

This monumental victory for animals comes after more than a decade of persistence by PETA activists, who worked resolutely to save the elephant whose story inspired this ban—Nosey.

Our efforts to save Nosey inspired one of the most progressive bans on wild-animal acts to date.

TIPS FOR LIFE WITH CATS

NEVER KILL SHELTERS

Rescue a Human

Since newly abandoned pups are competing with each other for human heartstrings, evolution says they should be most adorable around six and 11 weeks.

Dog care

We use humane, natural, dog training methods

Positive Dog Care is a rewards-based approach to teaching pet parents how dogs think, learn and communicate. We focus on rewarding the behaviors we like to encourage appropriate dog behavior in the real world.

Need a Sweet Heart?

Whether or not you plan on competing in dog sports and events, it’s critical that all dogs receive basic training, from how to walk well on leash to being comfortable with strangers.

We focus on rewarding the behaviors of humans and therefore would like to encourage appropriate human behavior in the real world.
