Matthew Galkin talks about his new HBO documentary I Am An Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA.
If you’ve ever heard the words ?animal rights? ? or ?vegetarian? or ?vegan,? for that matter — you’ll know the controversial organization PETA ? which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Matthew Galkin decided to try to take an objective look at PETA and the woman behind the group’s notorious tactics… you know, things like throwing red paint on people’s fur coats? or delivering a dead raccoon to Vogue editor Anna Wintour when she’s having lunch at the Four Seasons. He’s come out with a new documentary called I Am An Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA.
