5 Things PETA Is Doing to Help Animals in Laboratories This Week

1. In an unforgettable recent demonstration, PETA supporters darted onto the field while Texas A&M University’s football team competed in the Texas Bowl, demanding that the school end its cruel muscular dystrophy experiments on dogs.

2. We’re rallying hundreds of thousands of supporters to help us make 2020 the year when all pharmaceutical giants finally pull the plug on the forced swim test.

3. Good news for rabbits and horseshoe crabs! Thanks to PETA scientists working with Cory Booker (D-N.J.), the 2020 U.S. spending bill is putting pressure on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to use available non-animal methods (as PETA has long urged the agency to do), rather than tormenting these animals in painful and deadly fever-inducing tests. [PETA does not endorse or oppose any candidate or party for public office.]

4. With the world aghast at Chinese institutions’ archaic crash tests on animals, PETA U.K. is increasing the pressure on the U.K.’s Ministry of Defence to prevent similar violence in cruel animal trauma training drills.
