5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. HUGE news for endangered monkeys: After a years-long PETA campaign and the U.S. Department of Justice’s recent indictment of monkey smugglers, Cambodia has reportedly suspended the exportation of primates!
  2. PETA U.K. simulated a “crime scene” at the University of Bristol to shame the school for subjecting small animals to the forced swim test and then killing them. Activists lay “lifeless” in the chalk outlines of rats, representing the victims of the futile experiment.
  3. PETA “elves” descended on Memphis, Tennessee, lugging lumps of coal to the chancellor of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center to demand that he end deplorable medical training procedures on live pigs.
  4. PETA supporters confronted the president of the University of Massachusetts–Amherst at an alumni event in Arizona over the horror and mutilation that marmosets face in menopause experiments at the school.
  5. Our mobile billboard in Cambridge, Massachusetts, targeted holiday shoppers with disturbing video footage of experiments on baby monkeys similar to those conducted by Margaret Livingstone at Harvard Medical School.
