5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with sepsis? Take our survey to help urge the National Institutes of Health to fund superior, animal-free research into treatments.  
  2. PETA is celebrating a unanimous vote by the Decatur County Board of Commissioners in Georgia to cancel a $58 million deal to build the largest monkey warehouse in the U.S.
  3. PETA U.K. is teaming up with other animal rights groups to call on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to embrace superior, animal-free testing methods.
  4. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has cited the University of Massachusetts–Amherst for a violation after incompetence by laboratory staff there led to a marmoset’s injury.
  5. Monkeys are also victims of experimenters in the U.K., where officials have confirmed that 63 marmosets and tamarins were used in 72 horrific experiments in 2022 alone—prompting PETA U.K. to demand an end to the torment.
