Discover how PETA is exposing cruelty and holding experimenters accountable:
1. In a massive victory for animals, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced plans to end tests on mammals by 2035, after years of PETA campaigning and scientific collaboration. Discover how PETA scientists are ushering in a new era of testing that doesn’t harm animals.
Today, the @EPA announced it will end toxicity testing requirements on mammals by 2035!
This groundbreaking announcement follows almost two decades of work by PETA scientists who will keep working to end all tests on animals worldwide! https://t.co/V383euy8oL pic.twitter.com/ARDFqxGoIP

2. Working with PETA, U.S. Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) has made an unprecedented request that the National Institutes of Health publicly report on the exact number and species of all animals being used in its experiments—something the agency has never been required to do—and provide a specific plan for reducing that number over the next five years.

3.PETA and our supporters’ relentless pressure, e-mails, petitions, and phone calls have paid off: This week, we busted Texas A&M University for lying about the status of its dog-breeding program, and—in a massive sign of progress—the school announced that it’ll stop breeding golden retrievers and other dogs to suffer in cruel muscular dystrophy experiments. But we won’t let up until the university completely ends its dog torture.
4. PETA is urging companies large and small to stop tormenting animals in experiments. Global wine and spirits company Pernod Ricard—which owns brands such as Absolut Vodka, Chivas Regal, and Seagram’s Gin—and West Virginia–based Swilled Dog Hard Cider are among the many businesses that we’ve recently persuaded to ban useless animal tests.
5. Dozens of supporters of PETA Australia and other groups gathered at New Zealand’s Victoria University of Wellington, demanding that it ban the cruel forced swim test.
