PETA IN ACTION

‘Did Your Food Have a Face?’ PETA Appeal Comes to Chicago With Vegan BBQ Giveaway

Attendees of the Windy City Smokeout Festival received some food for thought courtesy of animal defenders led by PETA’s mascot Tommy Tofu, who handed out free vegan ribs smothered in BBQ sauce outside the United Center.

‘Sheep’ ‘Sheared’ in Front of Urban Outfitters

Shoppers got an eyeful when a PETA supporter dressed as a “bruised and bloodied” sheep was forcefully pinned down and roughly “sheared” in front of the Urban Outfitters store to highlight the violence sheep endure in the wool industry.

Nude Animal Defenders Reveal the ‘Naked Truth’ Over Whole Foods’ Misleading Labels

A trio of nearly nude PETA supporters covered in “blood” and lying on giant meat trays wrapped in cellophane—complete with spoof “humane” labels—took aim at a bogus certification scheme used to market the flesh of animals and dupe Whole Foods shoppers into paying more for the same old cruelty.

Soulja Boy in Hot Water Over Gig with Bow Wow at SeaWorld Abusement Park

PETA supporters made waves as they rallied outside SeaWorld San Diego, urging Soulja Boy and Bow Wow to cancel their performances and boycott the abusement park and any other venue that exploits animals. We hope both performers heard our pleas and will never again perform at a place that profits from abusing animals!

Lymington Seafood festival 'kittenmonger' display
Kitten Cakes and Crabcakes: What’s the Difference?

PETA U.K. set up its provocative “Kittenmonger” stall outside the entrance of Lymington’s annual seafood festival, posing a powerful question to festival goers: “If you wouldn’t eat a cat, why eat a crab?” The stall served ‘Kitten Cakes’ and ‘Locally Caught Tabbies’ to challenge people’s speciesism, showing them that crabs and other marine animals are sea life, not seafood.

Dozens of Dogs Liberated From Hoarding Squalor

PETA’s Emergency Response Team fielded an after-hours call reporting a “rescue” property in rural Virginia, where dozens of dogs were confined in deplorable conditions, many without access to water, shade, or shelter. PETA helped coordinate a collaboration between animal protection groups and the local Sheriff’s Office, which resulted in the removal of almost 50 dogs.

Caged ‘Primates’ Rattle Event Over Monkey Experiments

AI-Powered Robot Charli XC Cow Confronts Shoppers Across the U.S.

Shoppers are in for a sci-fi spectacle when walking, talking robot calf Charli XC Cow hoofs it to ask customers, “Are you wearing my mother?” The robot, which features a state-of-the-art 3D-printed head, describes how the leather industry exploits cows—and breaks into a celebratory dance whenever someone says they’re wearing vegan clothing.
