1. PETA is calling for a federal investigation of Texas A&M University (TAMU) after uncovering records showing that a dog named Lunes suffered and died in the school’s laboratory without veterinary care.

2. Our supporters increased the heat on TAMU by crashing speeches by the school’s president and its dean of veterinary science this week.

3. Pharmaceutical company Sage Therapeutics, which specializes in medications for depression and other mental-health disorders, has banned the forced swim test after hearing from PETA!

4. A giant dancing “CrapStick” led PETA supporters in a spirited demonstration at Pfizer’s headquarters, demanding that the pharmaceutical giant become the next to swear off the forced swim test.

5. PETA supporters also descended on the University of Toronto during a lecture by the director of the National Institute of Mental Health, increasing pressure on that agency to end the forced swim test and other terrifying, useless experiments.
