People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals

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.

While Harvard alumni sipped cocktails at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami, a troop of animal defenders and an inflatable monkey wearing a blindfold were outside demanding President Alan Garber stop Margaret Livingstone’s cruel experiments.

Partnering with The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), we distributed coats across refugee camps in Jordan. We encourage people everywhere to donate their fur or fur-trimmed coats to help those who have few options in life—the only people with any excuse to wear them. Clean out your closet and clear your conscience.

Just in time for International Women’s Day, women in Agra crammed themselves into cages in solidarity with hens on egg farms. These PETA India supporters reminded passersby that mother hens raised for their eggs spend their entire lives in cages so small they can’t spread a single wing.

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.

Diners on their way to local eateries that serve pork were in for an earful when “Hell on Wheels”—PETA’s hyper-realistic pig transport truck—bombarded them with actual recorded sounds of panicked screams.

Along with routine lifesaving straw and food deliveries, PETA fieldworkers secured the relinquishment of three different sets of puppies and transferred them all to trusted partner shelters.

PETA supporters challenged University of Massachusetts-Amherst (UMass) leadership at an event at Seagate Golf Club in Florida, urging the school to end experimenter Agnès Lacreuse’s cruel and pointless tests on tiny marmosets.

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.
