People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is in need of a Philippines Campaigns Assistant who would manage and coordinate PETA Asia-Pacific’s media work throughout Asia, as assigned by the director of PETA Asia-Pacific. Must be willing to be relocated to Manila. Do the jump if you are prepared to fight animal abuse.
I’m sharing this as I’m still a struggling vegetarian. I might consider applying in the future when I could completely get meat out of my diet.
