5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

Discover how PETA is exposing cruelty and holding experimenters accountable:

  1. PETA released never-before-seen footage revealing the terror and pain that animals endure in the National Institute of Mental Health’s taxpayer-funded laboratories. Join us in demanding that the agency end these senseless and cruel experiments.A rat struggles during a forced swim test.
  2. PETA has confirmed that notorious contract-testing laboratory BTS Research has been cited for a “critical” violation of the federal Animal Welfare Act, after a monkey imprisoned there likely suffocated while trying to free himself from experimenters. PETA’s previous complaint about this laboratory resulted in citations from the feds for confining monkeys to restraint chairs for hours on end.
  3. Nearly 100,000 people tuned in to PETA’s live videos on social media during last week’s powerful “dog graveyard” demonstration at Texas A&M University!
  4. PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo’s widely circulated op-ed outlines why all experiments on animals
    are ethically and scientifically indefensible and a waste of federal funds.
  5. Whistleblowers are critical to PETA’s work to end animal experiments—so we encourage anyone who witnesses cruelty in a laboratory to report it.
