People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals

Wearing nothing but beanie hats, ski goggles, and snow boots, three animal liberation advocates stood behind a banner declaring, “We’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Feathers!” Their eye-popping plea served as a reminder that feather-filled winter clothing (which often features in cold-weather athletic gear) is a product of suffering.

Football fans flocking to town for the big game may have already come face-to-beak with the giant, walking, talking, AI-powered robo-chicken, “Hennifer Coolidge,” who has been clucking her way through the Bay Area in the week leading up to kickoff. Named in honor of the vegan award-winning actress Jennifer Coolidge—and voiced to sound just like her—this chatty chicken is urging everyone to spare her feathered friends.

Shoppers in New Orleans were met with a shocking sight outside Urban Outfitters, as a PETA supporter mimicking the look of a bloodied goat had the hair aggressively torn from their body while the screams of real goats played.

Following the death of Katina—an orca who was snatched from her family’s pod at the age of two and was the last wild-captured orca to survive at SeaWorld Orlando—PETA supporters descended on the abusement park to call on the Alamo Bowl to cut ties with SeaWorld, where dolphins and whales are denied everything that’s natural to them.

For the opening of a new Raising Cane’s in Florida, a woman was slung upside down and had her neck hacked at by a ‘slaughterhouse worker’ with a prop knife. As bloody as the display was, it is nothing compared to what happened to the chickens whose bodies were being sold right behind them.

To kick off the new year, PETA’s massive “aliens” descended on New Jersey with a pointed message for humans: “Stop Eating Your Fellow Earthlings”—and help spare billions of animals from violent deaths by going vegan in 2026.

PETA supporters gathered beside a coffin emblazoned with a tombstone reading “FUR IS DEAD.” Inside were fur coats donated by people who would rather be caught dead than wear them again. PETA’s fur donation program runs year-round, and in recent years we’ve donated thousands of fur coats to refugees and displaced people worldwide, including in Jordan and Ukraine.

PETA’s famous “I Scream” truck is back on the road dishing out fabulous, delicious, dairy-free ice cream across the country! The mobile parlor is serving free vegan treats as part of PETA’s nationwide campaign urging ice cream lovers everywhere to leave mother cows and their babies alone (and to let lactose-intolerant kids join in the fun).

Near the end of December, PETA’s Community Animal Project fieldworkers navigated plummeting temperatures to help dogs left outside in the bitter cold. Chomper had no way to escape the icy wind and no warm place to curl up. We gave him an insulated shelter and neutered him at no charge.
