5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. The Independent spoke with PETA scientist Jeff Brown in a fantastic article that exposes the grisly, archaic practice of using abused horses’ blood to produce antitoxins and celebrates the promising development of humane, fully human antibodies with the support of the PETA International Science Consortium Ltd.
  2. Maryland is home to the notoriously wasteful National Institutes of Health campus and laboratories, which is why we’re running a terrific new sponsorship ad promoting PETA’s groundbreaking Research Modernization Deal on PBS affiliate stations in that state.
  3. PETA U.K. supporters, including a giant “laboratory beaker,” gathered at an Eli Lilly laboratory and slammed the pharmaceutical giant for refusing to ban the terrifying and widely debunked forced swim test.
  4. A “golden retriever” joined PETA supporters in San Antonio for a spirited demonstration outside the company of a member of The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents. Protesters played haunting audio footage of dogs barking and crying in Texas A&M’s canine muscular dystrophy laboratory and urged school officials to end such torment.
  5. PETA Germany science adviser and inhalation-test expert Dr. Andreas Stucki is helping to set the record straight about horrific vaping experiments in which pregnant mice will be repeatedly crammed into tubes and forced to inhale e-cigarette flavors.
