PETA’s determined push for animal liberation made history in 2021! Your support gave us the strength and funds to make huge strides for animals. We pushed the Taiwan FDA to stop shocking and drowning animals in pointless tests. We flung open the doors to cruelty-free cosmetics in China. We persuaded another pharmaceutical giant to stop making mice and rats swim for their lives. We busted a massive beagle supplier to laboratories. We canceled fur, dethroned “Tiger Kings,” made one of the Iditarod’s last major sponsors jump ship, and so much more.
Here are just a few of PETA’s 2021 high points for animals:
- Taiwan’s first- and third-largest health food companies issued historic bans on animal testing.
- No animals were killed in the Marine Corps’ 2021 Cobra Gold exercise training.
- National chains dropped coconut products obtained through forced monkey labor.
- Iditarod sponsors fell like dominoes.
- Victoria’s Secret (and so many other brands) banned alpaca.
- Canada Goose, Saks Fifth Avenue, and so many other companies banned fur.
- Colorado banned traveling animal acts.
- Tiger King Park officially became tigerless.
- Expedia ended its “swim with dolphins” and SeaWorld promotions.
Let’s Make 2022 the Kindest Year for Animals Yet
On behalf of everyone at PETA, thank you for being part of our victories for animals and supporting the truly vital work of ending speciesism. In 2022 and beyond, we hope you’ll join us—always and in all ways—in challenging the human-supremacist view that one species is more important than another.
