5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. You called and e-mailed, and Texas A&M University has been forced to listen! Lucilla and Varinia, who were caged for nine years inside canine muscular dystrophy laboratories, and another dog named Cheddar have all been released. Join us in not letting up the pressure until the remaining 25 survivors still imprisoned in the school’s infamous laboratory get their own chance at a happier life.
  2. PETA India scientists are saving animals from being poisoned and killed in chemical tests. With their support and recommendations, an Indian regulatory body has circulated draft regulations calling for the use of non-animal testing approaches.
  3. Animal use in Danish military training exercises plummeted 91% between 2016 and 2020, and now, PETA and PETA U.K. are pushing Denmark to end deadly animal tests entirely and use only cutting-edge human simulators in its drills.
  4. Here’s another way we’re ending the military’s war on animals: PETA staffers and U.S. military veterans Dr. Ingrid Taylor and Jonathan Stainback penned an op-ed breaking down the cruelty and disease risks associated with mutilating, killing, and even eating wildlife during the Cobra Gold multinational military exercise.
  5. PETA activists heading the Students Opposing Speciesism hub at Southern Illinois University–Carbondale are powerfully demonstrating against government experimenter Elisabeth Murray’s fright tests on monkeys—and their many recent eye-catching actions garnered coverage in the school’s student newspaper.
