As temperatures hovered around freezing, 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 the bogus certification scheme used to market the flesh of animals and dupe kind consumers into paying more for the same old cruelty.

Partnering with The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), we distributed coats across refugee camps in Jordan.

A giant PETA “mouse” shared the message “NIH Wasted $23 Billion on Animal Tests Last Year!” outside the Capitol where President Donald Trump was speaking to Congress. The mouse urged lawmakers to end the National Institutes of Health’s annual squandering of billions of dollars on go-nowhere experiments on animals that help no one.

A troop of “monkeys” in prisoner garb dumped buckets full of “coconut milk” over themselves outside the Royal Thai Embassy to urge officials to end the exploitation of endangered monkeys in Thailand’s coconut-picking industry.

In a bid to encourage peaceful coexistence between humans and pigeons, PETA erected a giant sky-high message just underneath Dinosaur—a wonderful statue of a noble pigeon on the Highline—that points out just some of these birds’ remarkable attributes and abilities and appeals to viewers to show the winged city slickers some respect.
