5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. PETA is challenging Big Pharma companies to pull the plug on the cruel and bogus forced swim test.
  2. We held an eye-catching “mouse in a tank” demonstration at the University of Delaware’s graduation last week, urging the school to stop experimenter Tania Roth from subjecting rats to the forced swim test and other forms of torture.
  3. Activist and PETA supporter Johnathon Byrne, who has muscular dystrophy, is suing Texas A&M University for detaining him and banning him from campus when he tried to discuss the miserable dogs imprisoned in the school’s canine muscular dystrophy laboratory.Johnathon Byrne
  4. The new National Geographic miniseries The Hot Zone has reignited fears of Ebola, and we’re encouraging folks to help us prevent future disease outbreaks by demanding that Air France stop transporting monkeys condemned to suffer in laboratories.
  5. PETA persuaded Japanese food giant Nissui Group to stop starving mice and rats, force-feeding them, inducing aneurysms, and otherwise tormenting them for the purposes of marketing its products.
