5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. Amazing breakthrough! Thanks to PETA scientists and funding from the PETA Science Consortium International e.V., a first-of-its-kind human cell-based 3-D lung model could soon be used to save human lives and spare animals deadly inhalation tests.
  2. Amid COVID-19 school closures, PETA is urging a number of publicly funded universities to release key information about animal experiments that have been deemed extraneous as well as the number and species of animals whom staff have been ordered to kill as a result—and to end crude and cruel animal experiments entirely.
  3. As social primates, many humans are already experiencing frustration, loneliness, and monotony in self-isolation or quarantine—so PETA is reminding the public that other primates suffer tremendously when they’re locked inside cages and tormented in painful or psychologically damaging experiments, as well as urging Air France to join every other major airline by ending its transport of monkeys bound for laboratories.
  4. PETA’s TeachKind division is offering great ideas for exciting, animal-friendly science fair projects and STEM activities for quarantined kids and families.
  5. We’re encouraging folks to stay safe and compassionate during the pandemic by choosing vegan, cruelty-free hand sanitizers.
