PETA IN ACTION

DYK? Vegan Men Have More Spunk!

That’s the message from a duo of giant ‘sperms’ ahead of Valentine’s Day for PETA UK. This eye-catching pair gave away dairy-free cheeses to plant a seed about going vegan, and that consuming fat-laden dairy cheese is linked to decreased semen quality and low sperm count.

The Room Where It Happened: PETA Stands Up at OHSU’s Board of Directors Meeting

A heated Board of Directors meeting over the fate of the cruel Oregon National Primate Research Center ended with a unanimous resolution to begin negotiations to end experiments on monkeys and transition the facility into a sanctuary! Over 60 PETA supporters, PCRM advocates, and compassionate Oregonians packed the room wearing shirts that stated, “NO MONKEYS, BETTER SCIENCE.” There were so many people in attendance that an overflow room was necessary.

Why PETA Supporters Went Nude at the 2026 Winter Olympics

Wearing nothing but beanie hats, ski goggles, and snow boots, three animal liberation advocates stood behind a banner declaring, “We’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Feathers!” Their eye-popping plea served as a reminder that feather-filled winter clothing (which often features in cold-weather athletic gear) is a product of suffering.

SeaWorld Alamo Bowl protest
Dolphin Defenders Rally Against Alamo Bowl Over Their SeaWorld Promo

Following the death of Katina—an orca who was snatched from her family’s pod at the age of two and was the last wild-captured orca to survive at SeaWorld Orlando—PETA supporters descended on the abusement park to call on the Alamo Bowl to cut ties with SeaWorld, where dolphins and whales are denied everything that’s natural to them.

Woman Calls Out Coach as She’s ‘Skinned Alive’

Crowds outside the Coach runway show at NYFW witnessed a gory scene as a PETA supporter, dressed to the nines in a sleek black dress, screamed out in pain as her ‘skin’ was ripped off her back. Shocking spectacles like this are part of PETA’s call on Coach to ditch its cruel use of skins and embrace the plethora of vegan leathers available today.

Why Was a Nearly Nude PETA Supporter Strung Up Outside Raising Cane’s?

For the opening of a new Raising Cane’s in Florida, a woman was slung upside down and had her neck hacked at by a ‘slaughterhouse worker’ with a prop knife. As bloody as the display was, it is nothing compared to what happened to the chickens whose bodies were being sold right behind them.

‘Aliens’ Call for Kindness to All Earthlings

To kick off the new year, PETA’s massive “aliens” descended on New Jersey with a pointed message for humans: “Stop Eating Your Fellow Earthlings”—and help spare billions of animals from violent deaths by going vegan in 2026.

People donate their fur coats to PETA
‘Fur-geddaboutit!’ Why Did PETA Invite New Yorkers to a Coffin?

PETA supporters gathered beside a coffin emblazoned with a tombstone reading “FUR IS DEAD.” Inside were fur coats donated by people who would rather be caught dead than wear them again. PETA’s fur donation program runs year-round, and in recent years we’ve donated thousands of fur coats to refugees and displaced people worldwide, including in Jordan and Ukraine.

Before and after for Chomper
Chomper Is Just One of Many—Will You Help Them?

Near the end of December, PETA’s Community Animal Project fieldworkers navigated plummeting temperatures to help dogs left outside in the bitter cold. Chomper had no way to escape the icy wind and no warm place to curl up. We gave him an insulated shelter and neutered him at no charge.

Bloodied Goat’s Hair Torn Out to Expose Cashmere Industry Cruelty

Shoppers in New Orleans were met with a shocking sight outside Urban Outfitters, as a PETA supporter mimicking the look of a bloodied goat had the hair aggressively torn from their body while the screams of real goats played.
