PETA US Celebrates Its 35th Anniversary!
Recently, PETA US celebrated its 35th anniversary – and the only way to acknowledge 35 years of cutting-edge campaigns that have brought about monumental change for animals is to have a party filled with stars and compassion, which is exactly what the group did.
The event – hosted by Anjelica Huston and Pamela Anderson – featured a gourmet dinner, a silent auction and a star-studded awards ceremony.

During his concert, McCartney told the audience, “When I first heard the name, that’s what appealed to me, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I thought that was really a very dignified, very cool title. They’ve got 35 years of saving so many animals. And we love them”.
PETA US has grown from two people in a spare room to the most powerful force for animal rights in the world – and it’s all because of the dedication of their members and supporters. See how PETA US has helped animals over the past 35 years.
