5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. Our friend Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, joined PETA in condemning cruel, futile menopause experiments on marmosets at the University of Massachusetts–Amherst.
  2. PETA U.K.’s “zombie scientists” swarmed the University of Bristol, demanding an end to the “brain-dead” forced swim test.
  3. Meanwhile, in the U.S., PETA installed a can’t-be-missed billboard near Eli Lilly’s Indianapolis headquarters, blasting the pharmaceutical company for refusing to ban the forced swim test. We already persuaded 12 other big pharma companies to end this cruel test!
  4. A flock of PETA supporters, including a giant “sheep,” confronted the secretary of the U.S. Navy at the 2022 Naval Submarine League Annual Symposium & Industry Update about subjecting sheep and other animals to agonizing decompression and oxygen toxicity experiments.
  5. PETA’s primate scientist appeared on Fox News to expose a Chinese company’s plans to build a monkey-importation hub on 1,400 acres in Levy County, Florida. Now, Gov. Ron DeSantis and state residents are speaking out against it.
