5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

Discover how PETA is exposing cruelty and holding experimenters accountable:

1. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s move toward cutting-edge, non-animal testing has backward-thinking experimenters in a tailspin. Dr. Amy Clippinger, the director of PETA’s Regulatory Testing Department, breaks down the many reasons why animal-free tests are good science and make good sense.

2. Our compelling anti-speciesism billboard is up in Denver ahead of an experimenters’ conference there, challenging folks to reject archaic beliefs and stop tormenting animals in laboratories.

3. PETA’s nongraphic animated public service announcement featuring a cute “experimenting mouse” ran on Boston television stations this week, reminding many that animals are individuals who feel fear and pain just as humans do.

4. In a fascinating op-ed, PETA scientist Dr. Katherine Roe exposes experimenters’ deadly misuse of CRISPR and calls for the DNA-editing mechanism to be used instead for cruelty-free, human-relevant research.

5. PETA is empowering thousands of compassionate students to oppose archaic animal dissection.
