5 Things You Can Do to Help Animals in Laboratories This Week!

1. After successfully persuading the U.S. military to embrace non-animal training methods, PETA is now demanding that the U.S. Department of Justice stop wasting taxpayer funds by conducting deadly trauma training drills on animals.

2. Legendary actor and activist James Cromwell was arrested at Texas A&M University during a PETA demonstration last week—but you don’t have to put your freedom on the line to make a difference for suffering dogs.

3. Watch PETA’s “crying mice” protest during a talk by the director of the National Institute of Mental Health, urging him to stop terrorizing animals in the forced swim test and other experiments that he’s admitted are useless.                                                                                                                                                                                                               

4. Join our international campaign to push monosodium glutamate (MSG) manufacturer and frozen-food giant Ajinomoto Co., Inc., to stop conducting deadly tests on dogs, rabbits, mice, and other animals—and check out how a recent PETA Asia demonstration kept the pressure on.

5. Here’s more proof that PETA’s investigations and campaigns are ushering in a new era for science: The University of California–Riverside—the same school at which PETA exposed that experimenters had stitched shut the eyes of a monkey named Britches—is now developing groundbreaking non-animal tests using stem cells.
