She is the author of several books, including The PETA Practical Guide to Animal Rights: Simple Acts of Kindness to Help Animals in Trouble and Animalkind: Remarkable Discoveries About Animals and Revolutionary New Ways to Show Them Compassion.

Ingrid is an abolitionist and a vegan, implying a sentiocentric moral scope. She is also an atheist, implying she has a naturalistic worldview.
