It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of PETA booster
Luciano Pavarotti this morning. In addition to his legendary voice and his
pioneering work bringing an appreciation for opera and classical music to
millions of new people around the world, Pavarotti was known for his
kindness, his compassion, and his philanthropic work, raising his voice on
behalf of animals on many occasions throughout his life.
In 1998, Pavarotti lent his name and his considerable influence to PETA's
campaign to raise animal welfare standards in Taiwan-where scores of
homeless dogs were rounded up by garbage collectors to be poisoned,
electrocuted, drowned or slowly starved. The cruelty touched Pavarotti
deeply, and, with his help, the campaign resulted in the first ever animal
welfare law in that country, which has since passed progressive legislation
banning circuses and prohibiting the export of exotic animals as pets.
Pavarotti also raised his voice for animals who are electrocuted, gassed,
and drowned in the fur industry, having signed another PETA petition against
fur following one of his performances at LaScala.
Pavarotti's great voice will be missed around the world, and at PETA, he
will be particularly missed as a powerful voice for animals.
