5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. Sri Lanka has canceled plans to send thousands of monkeys to China, many of whom would have ended up in laboratories.
  2. Wake Forest University laboratories have starved mice and withheld pain medication from monkeys, so PETA is urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture to take action.
  3. The U.S. Army made the shocking decision to reverse its ban on animal testing to study weapon-inflicted wounds, so we launched a new ad campaign urging it to stop these gruesome tests.
  4. Would you go to a doctor if you knew they had trained on pig anatomy? PETA is challenging Oregon Health & Science University on its archaic, inhumane program. 
  5. PETA has learned that despite our 18-month investigation, the seizure of nearly 300 animals by authorities, and charges against the discredited abusers operating the Caucaseco Scientific Research Center, the National Institutes of Health has invited the facility’s owners to submit an updated plan so they can still receive millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars. We won’t stand for it.
