Norfolk, Virginia. – Angered by what he calls the “100% unfair” fine that negated Tyranne Mathieu’s brilliant interception during Super Bowl LV, the PETA donor says he will still give the $ 100,000 he promised the group for intercepting the honey badger because that “the dogs didn’t deserve this call, and neither did Tyranne.”
See the following statement from PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange:
As if starring in two of PETA’s viral videos to help the dogs weren’t enough, Tyranne Mathieu has now made a donation that will help PETA spay and neuter dogs for free, provide those who would otherwise freeze with sturdy dog booths, and hand out straw bedding, which gives these animals some insulation from extreme cold. It will be a little less cold this winter for the abandoned garden dogs, thanks to Tyrann – PETA MVP for helping the most vulnerable puppies.
While PETA encourages everyone to keep dogs indoors with the rest of the family, the group’s field team, which serves low-income areas in rural Virginia and North Carolina, provides dogs like Champ (pictured below) with free dog booths. among many other services. Otherwise, these animals would have nothing but a plastic carrier or an inverted bin for shelter. The next group will give free straw bedding to dogs this Wednesday in Hopewell, Virginia.
PETA, whose motto is in part that “animals are not ours to abuse in any way,” opposes arrogance, a worldview based on human superiority. For more information please visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
