<ul class="summary-list"><li>Ingrid Newkirk, who cofounded PETA, says she's sending part of her heart to Elon Musk.</li><li>"I thought of my heart, because I don't think he has one," Newkirk told Rolling Stone.</li></ul>The cofounder of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, said she's amended her will to send billionaire Elon Musk a piece of her heart, because she thinks he doesn't have one.Ingrid Newkirk, 74, spoke to Rolling Stone's Miles Klee about her decision to send parts of her body around the world when she dies, as part of a campaign spreading awareness for animal rights.She's sending Musk a third of her heart, <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/peta-ingrid-newkirk-pete-davidson-voicemail-1234768229/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she told Klee in an interview published on Wednesday.</a> But she doesn't want people to think it's because she loves the Tesla CEO."So they don't misunderstand me, I thought of my heart, because I don't think he has one," Newkirk said. Newkirk said Musk is undoubtedly "brilliant." But she condemned animal experiments conducted by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-neuralink-fda-approval-put-brain-implants-humans-2023-5">Neuralink</a>, a company owned by Musk that aims to develop a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-neuralink-fda-approval-put-brain-implants-humans-2023-5">microchip that can be embedded in the human brain.</a>The company is <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/06/elon-musk-neuralink-animal-creulty/">facing a federal probe</a> over potential animal-welfare violations. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/musks-neuralink-faces-federal-probe-employee-backlash-over-animal-tests-2022-12-05/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reuters reported in December</a> that the firm had killed around 1,500 animals in its experiments, including more than 280 sheep, pigs, and monkeys, since 2018. Neuralink has <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/17/business/elon-musk-neuralink-animal-cruelty-intl-scli/index.html">denied</a> accusations of animal cruelty in its testing.Newkirk made similar comments in a <a href="https://twitter.com/kathopps/status/1668195612276162568" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monday interview with the Daily Express' Kat Hopps.</a>"He doesn't seem to have a heart so I'm going to give him a part of mine," she said. "He can clone it and try to develop his own."The activist said she felt Musk was "out of touch," and accused him of believing he's "above it all.""He can do absolutely anything, he's so rich, he holds the ace. I don't think he feels he needs to listen to anybody. You hear him on all sorts of issues, and he's completely out of touch," she told Hopps.Other intended recipients of Newkirk's body parts include kings and presidents, <a href="https://www.peta.org/features/ingrid-newkirks-extraordinary-will/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a roundup posted by PETA.</a>Each delivery is meant to send a symbolic message. King Felipe VI of Spain is to receive one of Newkirk's ears in protest of bullfighting. The governor of Alaska is to be sent her lungs because of sled dog racing, and the sitting US president at the time of her death is slated to get Newkirk's lips if the turkey pardon is still upheld.Newkirk didn't shy away from the idea that her will amendment might be perceived as a stunt."I decided to try to use it as a way to get attention for some very serious issues surrounding cruelty to animals in all manner of ways," she told Rolling Stone.Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Insider outside regular business hours.

The bull found in a decrepit state has been adopted by the organisation on behalf of the royal couples. The name Merry is a combination of the royal couple’s names - Me (from Meghan) + rry (from Harry). The weak and injured bull was rescued by PETA and his injuries - a deep wound on his neck - has been treated and is now completely healed. The bovine will be spending the rest of its life in the company of another rescue named Barshya at a sanctuary in Maharashtra, India.

This is Merry. PETA Founder Ingrid Newkirk believes this would be the “ideal wedding present” for the couple who recently announced that they would not like any wedding gifts. However, those looking to send them a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/09/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-dont-want-wedding-gifts.html" data-type="tilCustomLink">present</a> were requested to instead contribute to a select group of charities including StreetGames, Myna Mahila Foundation, Surfers Against Sewage, Wilderness Foundation UK, Crisis, Children's HIV Association and Scotty's Little Soldiers. Emaciated bullock trudging along in the heat, often pulling overloaded carts is, unfortunately, a common sight in India. While one less animal suffering may not seem like much of a dent, but perhaps this gesture would nudge people to “spare a thought for and show some love to all our fellow living beings." Plus, PETA believes this would be an ideal gift for Meghan Markle who is a staunch advocate of animal rights. She has publicly expressed her views on dog adoption by showing off her two rescue pups on Instagram and is always promoting <a href="https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/11/28/meghan-markle-leaves-one-of-her-dogs-behind-to-be-with-prince-harry/" data-type="tilCustomLink">#adoptdontshop</a>.

The outerwear company will stop buying fur this year and stop making products with it by the end of 2022, according to a press release <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210624005310/en/Canada-Goose-Commits-to-Going-Fur-Free">issued</a> Thursday. Canada Goose says the decision was partly inspired by a focus on "expanding lifestyle relevance.""Our focus has always been on making products that deliver exceptional quality, protection from the elements, and perform the way consumers need them to; this decision transforms how we will continue to do just that," said Dani Reiss, the company's president and CEO, in the release.Animal rights groups have criticized the company for years over its use of coyote fur and goose down. The company previously stood by its use of fur in its popular jackets and other products, saying animal fur trims <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/canada-goose-jackets-expensive-2019-2">disrupt cold air flow and guard against frostbite</a>. "This is a significant step forward toward building a more humane and sustainable world," said Barbara Cartwright, the CEO of Humane Canada, in the release. "We applaud Canada Goose's commitment to end the use of all fur by late 2022 and the leadership position they are taking in their industry."The animal-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which has been one of Canada Goose's biggest critics, welcomed the <keyword id="6355005" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="news">news</keyword>."PETA and its affiliates are suspending their international campaigns against Canada Goose today, after years of eye-catching protests, hard-hitting exposés, celebrity actions, and legal battles, as the company has finally conceded and will stop using fur - sparing sensitive, intelligent, coyotes from being caught and killed in barbaric steel traps," said the organization's president, Ingrid Newkirk, in a statement. "PETA will now re-engage the company to push for an end to its use of feathers, which geese and ducks continue to suffer for."Canada Goose previously announced plans to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by slashing them by more than 80% by 2025. Earlier this year, the company debuted its most sustainable parka to date, the Standard Expedition Parka. Canada Goose says this one generates 30% less carbon and uses 65% less water in manufacturing compared to its in-line Expedition Parka.
