1.0 / 5 average · includes imported Trustpilot
I've contacted PETA beginning 2018 to report a man in my area for doing dog fighting on social media. I reported him to PETA multiple times and not once did the organization try to help me or find him. I've shared the evidence to them and so much time went by before I got a response back. No one tried to launch an investigation or bring awareness to this crime like they share on their websites on animal cruelty. They lie and don't care about helping people nor saving dogs.
