PETA IN ACTION

Animal Allies and Huge Crying ‘Orca’ Crash SeaWorld 5K

Attendees at SeaWorld’s inaugural Fins and Flippers 5K were greeted by a surprising sight when they arrived: a giant crying “orca” chained to a massive inflatable arch, surrounded by a pod of PETA supporters. Wielding signs, these animal defenders called on the abusement park to release Corky—the longest-held captive orca in the world—to an ocean refuge.

PETA’s Commando Chicks March to Daytona Beach for Vegan Egg Sandwich Giveaway

With no end to the bird flu outbreak or skyrocketing egg prices in sight, the PETA Commando Chicks reported for duty to give away free vegan “egg” sandwiches made from healthy, delicious tofu—which is packed with protein and never caused a pandemic—along with Just Egg coupons, so locals can whip up their own delicious vegan egg dishes at home.

PETA President ‘Skinned Alive’ in Mumbai

Shoppers in Mumbai were met with a shocking sight, as PETA President Ingrid Newkirk was gruesomely “skinned alive” by a butcher as she protested with a sign that read, “Leather is someone’s skin. Wear Vegan.” Cows, buffaloes, and other animals exploited for their skin suffer fear and pain and fight for their lives, just as any human would.
