5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. Learn why you should shun the March of Dimes until it commits to compassion by ditching cruel animal experiments and funding only human-relevant test methods.
  2. We wrote to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, thanking him for pledging $1 billion for global COVID-19 relief and asking him to reassure the public that not a single penny will be squandered on useless animal tests.
  3. We’re demanding that an ever-growing list of colleges—including Oregon Health & Science University, Yale University, the University of Toronto, and others—pull the plug on crude and cruel animal experiments and come clean to the public about the killing of thousands of animals deemed “extraneous” amid pandemic-related school closures.
  4. PETA Australia is slamming a human health organization in that country for taking a step backwards by testing a COVID-19 vaccine on ferrets, while the U.S. National Institutes of Health has made the landmark, PETA-applauded decision to bypass a lengthy animal-testing phase for a potential vaccine.
  5. PETA entities are cheering savvier researchers for employing cutting-edge, non-animal test methods and technology to study COVID-19.
