5 Ways PETA is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. Watch PETA Honorary Director Bill Maher’s welcome video for new National Institutes of Health Director Monica Bertagnolli, which demands a “new rule” for the director and the agency: End cruel and pointless animal experiments.
  2. A professor in the Netherlands has been awarded a grant from PETA to study decades’ worth of research that has failed to produce an effective HIV vaccine—and determine whether animal testing will ever lead to one.
  3. Terrific news! A county in Texas voted against the construction of a new Charles River Laboratories monkey prison after hearing from PETA primate scientist Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel and our supporters.
  4. Check out the impressive year-end summary from PETA Science Consortium International e.V.
  5. PETA is calling on federal officials to investigate the University of Massachusetts–Amherst in the wake of four separate monkey escapes there.
