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 entities worldwide:

  1. We’re rallying supporters to challenge the University of Washington’s plan to get mice to develop post-traumatic stress disorder and force them to fight.mouse with corroded eye
  2. PETA is preventing hundreds of dogs from being stabbed and killed in archaic medical training by providing state-of-the-art simulators in Mexico.
  3. With help from our supporters, PETA shot down a dangerous “lab-gag” bill that would have allowed experimenters in California to ignore state open-records laws and hide what they do to animals in publicly funded laboratories.
  4. A whopping 200,000 people have taken action through our online alert urging Johns Hopkins University to stop implanting electrodes into barn owls’ brains.
  5. PETA is preventing millions of animals from being cut open in classrooms. See how we’re promoting sophisticated teaching software and empowering students and educators to oppose dissection.
