People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals

Kisa’s elderly guardians were unable to give her the necessary haircut she desperately needed. PETA fieldworkers provided her with a personal groom at her own pace, for no charge.

Our drive-by campaign is back for its inaugural tour of 2026! Blasting real recordings of pigs’ panicked screams, it’s a harrowing reminder for passersby of the reality that millions of individuals face every day.

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.

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.

Viola has attempted to escape from her abusers at least four times—but that hasn’t stopped the Sharon Shrine Circus from forcing her to perform. To mark the circus’s opening night, PETA supporters gathered to urge the circus to go animal-free—for the animals’ safety and the public’s.

Crowds outside the Coach runway show at NYFW witnessed a gory scene as a PETA supporter, dressed to the nines in a sleek black dress, screamed out in pain as her ‘skin’ was ripped off her back. Shocking spectacles like this are part of PETA’s call on Coach to ditch its cruel use of skins and embrace the plethora of vegan leathers available today.

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.

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.

Wielding clubs and draped in faux furs & bones, a group of “cavepeople” gathered at the Palazzo Morando during Milan Fashion Week’s opening day to send the message that wearing the skins of tormented animals is positively prehistoric and doesn’t belong on the runways of the 21^st century.

That’s the message from a duo of giant ‘sperms’ ahead of Valentine’s Day for PETA UK. This eye-catching pair gave away dairy-free cheeses to plant a seed about going vegan, and that consuming fat-laden dairy cheese is linked to decreased semen quality and low sperm count.
