5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. PETA supporters marked National Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month with eye-catching protests during speeches by the president of Texas A&M University, brandishing signs demanding that the school free nine healthy dogs from its now-defunct canine muscular dystrophy laboratory.
  2. Our mobile billboard in Indianapolis confronted Eli Lilly and its CEO for refusing to ban the frightening and futile forced swim test.
  3. We’re raising the alarm about the neglect that rabbits endured at a Texas facility, where more than 1,800 individuals are kept prisoner and treated like incubators for antibody production.
  4. PETA’s annual “Stop Animal Testing” matching-gift challenge is live, and through October 31, donations will have double the impact for animals in laboratories.
  5. Here’s a vital opportunity for a compassionate scientist: PETA India has announced a grant to help advance animal-free methods for toxicology testing.
