5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

PETA is leading the global movement to end experiments on animals. Through our vigorous campaigns, sponsorship and promotion of non-animal testing methods, and collaborations with companies and regulatory agencies, we’re stopping the suffering that animals endure at experimenters’ hands.

Here are just a few highlights from the recent work of PETA and our international affiliates:

  1. We delivered 44,000 petitions signed by caring PETA members to the president of Texas A&M University, demanding an immediate end to the school’s vile experiments on dogs.
  2. For 13 years, experimenter Gregory Ebel captured crows and other birds in the wild, infected them with West Nile virus, and killed them. Now, his days of torturing birds may soon be over. After PETA complaints to federal authorities, Colorado Parks and Wildlife has cited and fined him and suspended his license.
  3. Following years of campaigning by PETA Australia, the Parliament of Australia has passed long-awaited legislation that—if it’s implemented properly—could finally end cosmetics tests on animals in that country.
  4. PETA is dialing up the pressure on Pfizer by challenging the company at its annual meeting and launching a “chuck the ChapStick” campaign to urge it to ban hideously cruel forced swim tests.

  5. A new PETA ad and video campaign featuring influencer Teala Dunn urges students to “just say no” to dissection and save an animal’s life.
