People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals

On the busiest shopping day of the year, holiday crowds from around the world were met with realistic severed “cows’ heads,” humans being “skinned alive,” and other provocative displays as PETA supporters descended on Coach stores to call out the brand’s rampant, reckless use of animal- and planet-killing leather.

Named after Blink-182’s iconic vegan drummer Travis Barker, PETA’s state-of-the-art robotic turkey led a vegan roast giveaway to remind shoppers that every animal is someone.

Holiday shoppers in the U.K. were met with a surprising sight when a flock of ‘sheep’ appeared at Oxford’s popular Christmas market. Bearing signs that read, “Help Me!” and “Wear Vegan!”, the harried herd pleaded with passersby to leave wool out of their wardrobes.

Trina was diagnosed with pyometra, a uterine infection that can be fatal without intervention and is often expensive to treat. Her dedicated guardians drove several hours to get to PETA’s clinic, where Trina was given an emergency lifesaving spay at a low cost.

Two PETA U.K. supporters were arrested after throwing themselves in front of Pope Leo XIV’s vehicle as he arrived at the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The dramatic demonstration was part of PETA’s campaign urging the Pope to cut the Catholic Church’s ties with bullfighting and finally condemn the despicable blood sport.

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.

PETA’s “Hell on Wheels” truck has cruised through 30+ states, stirring up so much truth-telling that one shopper hurled turkey flesh at it in Colorado, and police in Kentucky even hauled off the truck and arrested its driver. All the commotion just proves the rolling exhibit is doing its job: showing exactly what turkeys endure and inspiring people to choose a kinder vegan holiday. Check out where the truck is heading next!

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.
