Abused Animals Pictures Biography

Thousand Palms, CA – May 10, 2012: Jake Freedman, a 15-year-old student from Palm Desert High School, will soon join an exclusive group of highly driven individuals that includes Astronaut Neil Armstrong, director Steven Spielberg, and former President Gerald R. Ford: America’s Eagle Scouts.
Freedman is currently a Life Scout, the second-highest ranking achievable. Before he advances to Eagle Scout, a distinction achieved by only 2% of all Scouts according to Freedman, the high school freshmen must “plan, develop and give leadership to others in a service project” to a local church, school, or our desert community. Freedman, who has two dogs and two cats at home, will be helping the community by helping Animal Samaritans.

“I spoke to Leslie [Cyphers], your volunteer coordinator,” said Freedman. “I told her I wanted a project that would help the animals, and together we found one.” That project is to improve the outside dog kennels at Animal Samaritans’ no-kill animal shelter in Thousand Palms.
Freedman will be leading 10 to 15 fellow scouts from Troop 707 in the project. He and his team will replace the kennels’ torn and weathered shade tarps with new, commercial grade cloth that will keep the dogs cool while protecting them from the sun’s intense UV rays. In addition, Freedman and his crew will repair the kennel area’s misting system, which has not functioned properly in years. The project is appropriately timed to help cool the dogs and allow them more time outside during the coming summer months.

Freedman and his fellow scouts will be at Animal Samaritans shelter (72-307 Ramon Road) on Friday, May 18, to tear down and clear out the dog kennel tarps and assess the cooling system. The following Saturday Morning, May 19, they will work to replace the kennel shading and fix the misters. In addition to providing his vision, manual labor, and leadership to the project, Freedman must also raise funds to pay for project materials, which he estimates will cost around $1,200.
Fred Saunders, Executive Director for Animal Samaritans’ was impressed by Freedman’s maturity and purpose. “It is refreshing to know responsible and caring young people like this one,” said Saunders.

Animal Samaritans SPCA, a 501 (c) non-profit organization founded in 1978, is committed to improving the lives of animals and people. As the Coachella Valley’s most comprehensive animal welfare organization, they strive to one day eliminate the needless suffering and abuse of homeless and unwanted animals. Programs and services in place to save the lives of healthy and treatable animals include prevention through humane education, affordable spay and neuter, vaccinations, and other veterinary care, animal sheltering, animal rescue, pet fostering and pet adoptions. In addition, more than one hundred volunteers from their Pet Therapy programs visit special needs classrooms, ngrid Newkirk is an animal rights activist, author, and renowned cofounder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). When she almost single-handedly launched the largest animal rights organization in the world, she hoped that one person could make a difference. In her new book, One Can Make a Difference: How Simple Actions Can Change the World, she shares the wisdom and insight of more than 50 world-changers like herself.

Newkirk is best known for the issue-awareness campaigns that she organizes on behalf of PETA in order to promote animal rights. Since it was founded, PETA has exposed horrific animal abuse in laboratories, leading to many firsts, including canceled funding, closed facilities, seizure of animals, and charges filed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. PETA has also closed the largest horse-slaughter operation in North America, convinced dozens of major designers and hundreds of companies to stop using fur, ended all car-crash tests on animals, cleaned up wretched animal pounds, helped schools switch to alternatives to dissection, and provided millions of people with information on vegetarianism, companion animal care, and countless other issues.

As PETA's president, Ingrid has spoken internationally on animal rights issues, from the steps of the Canadian Parliament to the streets of New Delhi, India, where she spent her childhood—and from the drowning tanks of Taiwan to the halls of the U.S. Congress.
Ingrid has served as a deputy sheriff, a Maryland state law enforcement officer with the highest success rate in convicting animal abusers, the director of cruelty investigations for the second-oldest humane society in the U.S., and the chief of animal disease control for the Commission on Public Health in Washington, D.C.
During her work as a humane officer, Ingrid discovered the enormous amount of animal abuse taking place in laboratories, on factory farms, and trap lines. Peter Singer's book Animal Liberation inspired her to found PETA in 1980, with the goals of investigating, exposing, and ending cruelty to animals through individual and group action.

Under Newkirk's leadership, legislation was passed to create the first-ever spay-and-neuter clinic in Washington, D.C. She coordinated the first arrest in U.S. history of a laboratory animal experimenter on cruelty charges and helped achieve the first anti-cruelty law in Taiwan. She spearheaded the closure of a Department of Defense underground "wound laboratory," and she has initiated many other campaigns against animal abuse, including ending General Motors' crash tests on animals.

Newkirk's biography shows that she is an abolitionist who remains committed to the idea that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.
