People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals

To combat the high population of stray and homeless animals in Puerto Rico, PETA partnered with the Humane Society of Puerto Rico to sterilize more than 250 animals in just 2 days, setting a new record for the program. The event was free to the public thanks to PETA’s Global Compassion Fund.

PETA’s new billboard is showing the crowds of Times Square how monkeys live inside federally funded laboratories and calling for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to shut down the seven national primate research centers.

“Bull blessings, not bullfights!” That’s the message PETA supporters brought to St. Peter’s Catholic Church, along with a pair of massive inflatable bulls. The animal advocates urged parishioners in Pope Leo XIV’s hometown to pressure the pontiff to denounce violent and deadly bullfights.

A nearly nude PETA supporter made a splash when they stripped down and lathered up on the sidewalk to expose the naked truth about deceptively labeled “animal welfare certified” meat, eggs, and dairy.

A 20-foot-tall “crying elephant” surrounded by animal advocates rallied outside the Carden Circus to call for the release of Betty, an elephant who shuffles slowly on her stiff front legs that hurt to bend, drags her trunk on the ground due to apparent paralysis—likely due to being forced to stand on her head and put several tons of weight on her trunk for decades—and is suffering from painful cracks in her toenails.

A troop of PETA supporters with giant monkey masks descended upon the University of Washington’s New Student Convocation, after traveling over on Seattle’s Light Rail, to tell everyone in attendance about the school’s deadly underground primate center and call for its immediate closure.

Because Vermont has the lowest fertility rate in the U.S.—and the consumption of estrogen-loaded dairy cheese is linked with decreased semen quality—a PETA supporter dressed as a not-so-little swimmer planted a seed about going vegan by handing out hundreds of animal-friendly cheese snacks.

PETA’s larger-than-life “ostrich” stood outside Victoria’s Secret’s star-studded fashion show to thank the brand for showing designers and consumers everywhere how to create killer looks without harming birds. The show is now feather-free, featuring gorgeous and innovative vegan Angel wings.

PETA’s hyperrealistic truck confronted shoppers across grocery stores in Alabama, urging them to consider more than just discounts. Check out where the truck is heading next!

Shoppers at the grand opening of the first Hermès store in Nashville were shocked to come face-to-face with a body-painted PETA supporter “dead” outside its doors to warn potential customers about the suffering of crocodiles and other animals whose skin is stolen for bags, watchbands, and more.
