5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

Discover how PETA is exposing cruelty and holding experimenters accountable:

  1. Compassionate congressional representative Brendan Boyle (D-Penn.) joined us in urging the National Institute of Mental Health to stop shocking and nearly drowning animals in psychological experiments.
  2. PETA has long campaigned against smoking tests on animals—and in an unlikely partnership, the PETA International Science Consortium recently joined forces with tobacco companies to donate $110,000 worth of equipment that can help replace the use of animals in respiratory testing.
  3. PETA is calling on supporters everywhere to mail tubes of lip balm to Pfizer’s CEO—showing him that we’ll boycott CrapStick until the pharmaceutical company bans the forced swim test.
  4. PETA U.K. published a blog post explaining why it’s cruel and a waste of time to create human-animal hybrids in laboratories.
  5. Cruelty-free makeup is everywhere, thanks in no small part to PETA. Here are some of our favorite beauty products at Target!
