5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. We’re sharing the story of Yoda, a marmoset who endured nearly five years of torment in a University of Massachusetts–Amherst (UMass) laboratory before experimenters killed her.
  2. We took on UMass again this week—this time crashing Chancellor Javier Reyes’ inauguration and demanding an end to the university’s experiments on animals.
  3. Dr. Alka Chandna, PETA’s vice president of laboratory investigations, was interviewed after we exposed the cruel experiments and inadequate veterinary care that led to the death of three ferrets at the University of Alabama–Birmingham.
  4. After exposing the horrors at The Veterinarians’ Blood Bank, we’re urging Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb to call for animal neglect charges against those responsible for not providing sick cats with care.  
  5. PETA U.K. is exposing the ineptitude and indifference that led standards at U.K. laboratories to hit rock bottom.
