New Features

In celebration of Mother's Day, PETA presents 10 animal mommas in action.

We cried with him in The Green Mile and laughed with him in Talladega Nights, and now we're celebrating with gentle giant Michael Clarke Duncan as he talks about his decision to go vegetarian in his new PETA video.  

New Action Alerts

Urge Avon Lake, Ohio, not to use cruel bowhunting to kill deer. Families are torn apart, many deer are wounded and may take weeks to die, and young animals die of starvation when their mothers are killed.

In the wake of a PETA investigation of a South Carolina hoarder, urge officials to amend the law to prohibit convicted hoarders from acquiring more animals.

Don't let Ringling dissuade Atlanta from enforcing its bullhook ban, which would place the city's entire animal control department in jeopardy.

Scene and Heard

Following efforts by PETA India, the Election Commission of India has prohibited candidates from using live animals for any part of their campaigns.
