"Yes. Animals have just as many rights as we do. I have a cat. She’s my baby; I’ve had her for 13 years. He name is Ma-Ma. I’ll fight tooth and nail to protect her."

Debbie Williams
home-care aide | Southwest Philadelphia
"No, we have to fight for ourselves. We have our work cut out for ourselves under Trump. Let Trump do more for the animals. He’s the one with the power. He’s taking care of other countries. Let him take care of us and our animals."
