Work Experience
PETA
Fieldworker
As a fieldworker in the Community Animal Project, I went into the very poorest of neighborhoods of Virginia and North Carolina to deliver food, doghouses, and bedding to neglected animals who have never known a kind word or touch. I worked to educate owners on how to care for their animals in basic ways and offered spaying and neutering surgeries for animals who would otherwise reproduce and bring many more animals into a life of misery.

CAP staff and volunteers also transport animals to local veterinarians, provide water and food to dogs with empty bowls, loosen collars that have grown too tight, and supply tangle-free running lines for dogs hopelessly wrapped in chains. They rescue injured and dying animals and capture skittish strays who have been given up on by other agencies. CAP staffers also counsel animal guardians on proper care, such as always allowing companion animals to live inside the house with their families, and help people make that transition whenever possible.
