Brittany Peet - PETA Fights to End the Exploitation of Animals

May 03, 2025

Bernadette and Brittany discuss the fate of the Tiger King, animal abuse in Hollywood, ending lab testing on animals, and more.


Brittany Peet is general counsel for Captive Animal Law Enforcement at the PETA Foundation.  


Through legal and regulatory actions as well as public advocacy campaigns, she works on behalf of animals held captive in roadside zoos, traveling shows, and the film and television industries. She appeared in the docuseries Chimp Crazy on HBO and Tiger King on Netflix, and she was part of the legal team that achieved a landmark victory establishing that big-cat cub-petting encounters violate the federal Endangered Species Act. 


Her victories also include the rescues of more than 800 animals, including 80 bears, 78 big cats, and 24 chimpanzees.
