5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. PETA honorary board member Alicia Silverstone and her son, Bear, have teamed up to urge students to “cut class, not frogs,” and to choose compassion over harming animals in science class.
  2. The National Institute of Mental Health is forcing small animals to fight for their lives in archaic and torturous “social defeat” experiments. Learn about what these cruel tests entail—and how PETA is working to stop them.
  3. PETA has received damning new documentation of animals suffering and dying in the U.S. Navy’s decompression tests.
  4. Our landmark investigation into Envigo in Virginia, which led to the release of 4,000 beagles for adoption, has prompted a new state law that creates a task force to identify deficiencies and make recommendations about transparency at publicly funded animal testing facilities.
  5. Mango season begins in a few weeks, making it a perfect time to urge the National Mango Board to ban funding or conducting deadly experiments on animals.
