5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

Discover how our campaigns, webinars, and demonstrations are stopping cruel experiments and driving landmark change for animals.

  1. PETA’s backing a proposed bill in Virginia that would protect dogs and cats from experiments not required by U.S. federal law or regulation and prevent these animals from enduring the terror of transport into the hands of experimenters overseas. The bill was introduced after our release of shocking video footage from inside the Envigo dog-breeding facility.
  2. We’re slamming Harvard University experimenters who mutilated and tormented mice in the hope of “proving” what everyone already knew—that stress can turn hair gray faster.
  3. PETA supporters scurried to Chinatown in Los Angeles last week to ring in the Year of the Rat by protesting crude and cruel tests on these sensitive, social rodents.
  4. PETA International Science Consortium scientists are leading and participating in webinars with companies, agencies, and researchers—saving lives and bringing cutting-edge animal-free test methods into the mainstream.
  5. Our campaign against Texas A&M University’s vile experiments on dogs made headlines again when PETA activists were roughhoused and bruised at an event for the school’s dean of veterinary sciences—who’s ignoring animals who are suffering on her watch.
