Founded in March 1980 by Newkirk and fellow animal rights activist Alex Pacheco, the organization first caught the public's attention in the summer of 1981 during what became known as the Silver Spring monkeys case, a widely

Accordingly, he has forsworn the use of all animal products in his life. He puts forth several reason for his belief and why nearly everyone continues to slaughter animals. Over the course of his article, “Animal, Vegetable, Miserable”, he seems to struggle to understand how anyone could continue to use animal products. Steiner’s
