A Tribute to Sam Simon

Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hToxzjD7bjw

Sam Simon was a kind and generous soul who respected all animals and loved PETA's work. He helped PETA save dozens of bears, a horse from the race track, an elephant, a camel, pigs, and other animals suffering from isolation, abuse, and pain. He saved countless dogs and cats through The Sam Simon Foundation and his support of PETA's mobile spay-and-neuter clinics, and he not only advocated for vegan choices in all manner of things, from products to clothing, but also was a strong opponent of the abuse of animals in movies, on TV, in amusement parks like SeaWorld, in circuses like Ringling, in horse and greyhound racing, and in advertising. This is a speech that Sam made at the dedication ceremony for the naming of PETA's Norfolk, Virginia, headquarters – The Sam Simon Center. We are honored to have worked closely with Sam and will continue to be able to do more in his name because of his legacy.
