Ingrid Newkirk is the president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal liberation organization in the world, and PETA entities have more than 9 million members and supporters globally. 

 Ingrid has authored 13 books and been profiled by The New Yorker, the Los Angeles Times, and Fortune, which dubbed her the “Mother Teresa of rabbits.” She was also the subject of HBO’s award-winning documentary I Am an Animal and was named one of Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Women.  

  PETA opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview, and focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, the food industry, the clothing trade, and the entertainment business.

Bernadette and Dr. Von Eaglin continue their conversation about men not assuming their roles in relationships. But what are men's roles today? And, how has masculinity changed with society's expectations for men in traditional relationships?

His research focuses on couple relationship dynamics, and he has previously served as an adjunct faculty member at SMU and UNT. Within his private practice, he specializes in couples, men’s issues, young adults, adolescents, and athletes from youth sports to various professional leagues including the NBA and the NFL.  

Dr. Von currently works for the Dallas Mavericks as a mental health consultant on their Wellness Team, serving players and supporting personnel. 

He is often a guest speaker on multiple podcasts and facilitates workshops for couples, men, youth, and business organizations.

Bernadette talks with attorney Jeff Kerr from PETA about the first-of-its-kind lawsuit, filed this month, that made headlines in The Washington Post, and seeks to enforce PETA’s right to receive communications from what are called in law, “willing speakers”—the macaque monkeys Beamish, Sam Smith, Nick Nack, and Guinness, who have spent years in cages and being experimented on at the NIMH laboratory of experimenter Elisabeth Murray.

Anthropologists and other scientists have studied macaque and other primate communications for decades. Macaques communicate effectively and intentionally through gestures, body language, and vocalizations—all of which constitute speech under the law. Many of their communications are intelligible to humans generally, and PETA and other experts can analyze that speech on a deeper level to share their stories with the world.

As alleged in the complaint, PETA’s suit follows years of NIH’s attempts to conceal what goes on in its laboratories from animal advocates and the public by refusing to comply with public information laws, banning PETA executives from its campus, and infamously unconstitutionally censoring animal advocates’ speech on NIH’s public social media pages.
