People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals

PETA supporters flocked to Radio City Music Hall to push for an animal-free Christmas Spectacular with giant signs of sheep, camels, and donkeys—representing the real animals who are still forced to perform in the show’s live Nativity scene.

A robot piggy, named after Brazilian superstar Anitta, bustled into Little Havana ahead of Nochebuena. Decked out in Santa hats and twinkling Christmas lights, supporters served up festive vibes along with a mouthwatering giveaway of vegan sandwiches and hams. Crowds raved about the food and couldn’t get enough of Anitta Rositta, who, sporting her own Santa hat, asked passersby if it would kill them to eat a vegan ham.

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.

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.

A sleighful of Santas landed in SeaWorld Orlando, but not to hand out presents. Instead, the festive force gathered to call on the abusement park to release Corky—the longest-held captive orca in the world, who was abducted from her ocean home 56 years ago.

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.

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!
