5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. Huge victory for dogs! Following damning investigations by PETA and federal inspectors, legislative action from elected officials, and other efforts, a U.S. judge has temporarily barred Envigo from breeding beagles at its prison-like Virginia facility and selling them to laboratories—and 145 dogs have been seized from that hellhole.
  2. Our hard-hitting full-page ad in The Washington Times is urging readers to help imprisoned monkeys like Nick Nack by demanding that the National Institutes of Health embrace only animal-free science.
  3. PETA scientists are keeping our fellow primates in the public eye by sharing the story of tormented macaque Beamish, condemning the capture of monkeys in their jungle homes, and reminding everyone that non-animal test methods circumvent the spread of zoonotic illnesses like monkeypox.
  4. PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo gave a stellar radio interview about our work to increase transparency in University of Washington laboratories—which obliterates claims made by vivisection industry apologists.
  5. PETA supporters—including a caged “owl”—protested horrifying brain experiments on birds at Johns Hopkins University during the school’s graduation ceremony.
