PETA VP Christina Matthies talks to Emil Guillermo about birds, especially domesticated ones. Most human companions aren't as knowledgeable about birds. It means the situation devolves to the point a bird rescue is needed. How best to avoid a bird rescue? Don't turn to birds to be your companion animals. Let the birds be birds. Matthies is also the Editor-in-Chief of PETA's Global Animal Times. Check for a new issue this month. For more go to PETA.org. The PETA Podcast PETA, the world's largest animal rights organization, is 6.5 million strong and growing. This is the place to find out why. Hear from insiders, thought leaders, activists, investigators, politicians, and others why animals need more than kindness—they have the right not to be abused or exploited in any way.
