What Is the Vanguard Society?

© iStock.com/AndreAnita 

Members of PETA’s Vanguard Society turn their compassion for animals into action by generously supporting all of PETA’s life-changing efforts in behalf of animals suffering on fur farms, on factory farms, in laboratories, in circuses, in puppy mills, and wherever else animals are abused, neglected, or mistreated.

Our Vanguard Society members are often invited to special events, such as our exclusive quarterly town hall meetings with PETA’s president and senior staff members and private events for animals held throughout the country. They also receive Vanguard-exclusive updates and a unique—and often behind-the-scenes—look at PETA’s groundbreaking work for animals.

Please consider joining the Vanguard Society and make an even bigger impact in supporting PETA’s vital efforts to help animals—join today.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
