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:
- Great news! PETA has persuaded Dutch ingredient company DSM Nutritional Products to stop tormenting mice and other small animals in the forced swim test.
- A PETA neuroscientist went directly to the board of directors of pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and urged them to pull the plug on the forced swim test—while outside, a PETA “mouse” illustrated the cruelty of this hideous experiment.
- Following a PETA exposé revealing that Colorado State University experimenter Gregory Ebel captured dozens of birds illegally and the suspension of his license, our supporters flocked to the school’s Board of Governors meeting to call for an end to deadly experiments on crows and other birds.
- University of Delaware experimenter Tania Roth learned that no event is off limits when animals’ lives are at stake. PETA crashed a university board meeting and her recent talk at Michigan State University to demand an end to her cruel “child abuse” experiments on baby rats.
- PETA erected a “graveyard” of “dead dogs” outside Texas A&M University’s commencement ceremony to inform attendees about the dogs locked inside the school’s muscular dystrophy laboratory, who—unlike this semester’s graduates—can leave campus only by dying.
