This Job Has Shut Down 25 Animal Facilities—Apply If You Have What It Takes
Right now, out of the public eye, animals are suffering—and the only way the world will see it is if someone goes undercover.
That someone could be you.
As a PETA undercover investigator, you won’t sit on the sidelines. You’ll go inside facilities that exploit animals for food, clothing, experimentation, and entertainment—and document what companies work hard to keep hidden.
In the last 20 years alone, PETA undercover investigations have resulted in:
- More than 1,800 criminal charges
- More than 400 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) citations
- 25 facilities shut down
What You Could Expose
At Envigo—a former massive beagle-breeding facility in Virginia—a PETA investigator documented approximately 5,000 dogs trapped in cages 24/7. Puppies died by the hundreds. Sick and injured dogs were denied care. Mothers were used as breeding machines.
Because someone went undercover, that facility shut down and all 4,000 surviving dogs—like Samson—were removed and adopted into loving homes.
PETA undercover investigators have exposed cruelty in a wide range of animal-exploiting industries, including:
- Goats left to suffer from untreated illness and starvation at a dairy operation—leading to hundreds of felony charges

- Horses whipped, shocked, and drugged at illegal “bush track” races, investigations that have resulted in six people facing criminal charges in Georgia, and a jockey in California being banned from racing

- Starving animals trapped in filth at a sham “rescue” where nearly 200 were ultimately seized
- Live animals warehoused in plastic tubs or wire-floor cages at a massive animal dealer that supplied big-box pet stores, leading to 28 charges of cruelty to animals and at least 117 USDA violations
These cases didn’t come to light by accident. They happened because someone chose to step in.
This Work Isn’t Easy—But It’s More Important Than Ever
Being an undercover investigator takes patience, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose. You may work long hours. You may witness difficult, heartbreaking conditions.
But you’ll also be the reason the truth gets out.
