Why Is Ingrid Newkirk Getting ‘Chopped’ on an Ice Block?

Red Lobster in Hot Water: Giant Crustacean Leads Rally at St. Louis Restaurant

The Room Where It Happened: PETA Stands Up at OHSU’s Board of Directors Meeting

A heated Board of Directors meeting over the fate of the cruel Oregon National Primate Research Center ended with a unanimous resolution to begin negotiations to end experiments on monkeys and transition the facility into a sanctuary! Over 60 PETA supporters, PCRM advocates, and compassionate Oregonians packed the room wearing shirts that stated, “NO MONKEYS, BETTER SCIENCE.” There were so many people in attendance that an overflow room was necessary.

‘Glamorous Goats’ Start a Ruckus at Paul Smith Store Over Mohair Cruelty

A pair of PETA supporters dressed as wounded goats took over a Paul Smith store’s window display while bearing signs.
