5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. Exciting progress! Virginia legislators advanced eight animal protection bills through the General Assembly 2022 session to protect beagles imprisoned at Envigo’s Cumberland facility—and all dogs bred for experiments in the state.
  2. PETA has created a thought-provoking addition to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci’s collection of memorabilia: a mosaic portrait of him composed of hundreds of tiny photographs of the animals whose suffering he’s rubber-stamped.
  3. Victory! After an intense PETA campaign, it’s been confirmed that—for the second year in a row—troops won’t be killing animals during multinational Cobra Gold training exercises in Thailand.
  4. Animal ally Sir Paul McCartney joined hundreds of thousands of animal advocates in supporting a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) that seeks to defend the European Union’s ban on animal-tested cosmetics. Learn more about this ECI in a lively podcast discussion with PETA U.K. Science Policy Manager Julia Baines.
  5. PETA U.K.’s groundbreaking work to stop experiments on animals is featured in this inspiring piece celebrating International Day of Women and Girls in Science (February 11).
