  1. Are your tax dollars funding an experimenter’s lies? The former dean and a current professor of Weill Cornell Medicine may have fabricated data from experiments on animals, putting everyone in harm’s way.
  2. Despite the recent acquittal of a Cambodian official, evidence presented in court paints a damning picture of the black market monkey-trafficking trade.
  3. Catch this TV interview with PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo, who discusses The Failed Experiment, a must-see docuseries now streaming on YouTube.
  4.
