5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

Discover how PETA is exposing cruelty and holding experimenters accountable:

1. Just days after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it will phase out tests on mammals, a paper coauthored by PETA scientists and the EPA has led to a change in the agency’s policy that will keep hundreds of birds from suffering in pesticide tests every year.

2. In a huge breakthrough last week, PETA’s relentless pressure led Texas A&M University to end its dog-breeding program, and we’re not letting up on university officials until they agree to stop tormenting dogs with canine muscular dystrophy.

3. Another win for animals in the food-testing world! After hearing from PETA, flavor and fragrance giant Robertet SA has a new policy banning all experiments on animals not required by law.

4. PETA supporters wearing crow masks flocked to Colorado State University yesterday to urge the school’s president to protect crows and other birds from vile curiosity-based West Nile virus experiments.

5. We’ve kicked off our “Stop Animal Testing” Challenge, a great way to double your support for our work to end whole categories of animal experiments by 2025.
