Our condolences to the Late Senator Robert Byrd

Senator Robery Byrd, has sadly passed away at the age of 92. Robert Byrd, was major player in passing vital animal rights laws, protecting those who couldn't speak out on the injustice they face. Mr. Byrd is the longest Senator to serve congress (58 years) and has been acknowledged for his efforts such as being honored as PETA's Person of the Year in 2007 !

“He worked to increase funding for enforcement of all major animal protection laws, to halt the slaughter of American horses, to crack down on animal fighting, and to reform industrialized agriculture,” says Pacelle. “He took to the floor of the U.S. Senate time and again during the last decade, arguing in only the way he could, from a perspective of Christian conviction and responsibility, for the proper care and decent treatment of all creatures.”

Rest In Peace Sir.
