5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. PETA Asia’s “mice” locked themselves inside cages outside Ajinomoto’s Osaka branch to rail against the MSG giant for mutilating, starving, electrocuting, and otherwise tormenting animals in hideous experiments that aren’t required by any law.
  2. We honored the Students Opposing Speciesism hub at the University of California–Davis with a 2022 Libby Award for organizing a provocative protest against the school’s cruel monkey experiments.
  3. PETA has donated 122 lifesaving TraumaMan simulators, worth more than $3 million, to Advanced Trauma Life Support programs around the world—most recently, to Iraq’s University of Babylon, where they will prevent many animals from being painfully killed each year for surgical training.
  4. A committed donor has helped PETA submit a shareholder resolution to Ford Motor Company that calls on the automaker to release an annual report disclosing the number and species of animals used and killed in its crash tests, which aren’t required by law.
  5. PETA also filed shareholder resolutions with notorious contract-testing companies, including Charles River Laboratories and Laboratory Corporation of America, demanding transparency and regular reporting to prevent the transportation of monkeys without proper—and required—veterinary exams. We recently exposed these companies and others for serious violations.
