Just in case you weren’t aware, you don’t need to be a professional activist to make furriers in your neighborhood wish to God that they could just crawl into a hole somewhere, or maybe pick any other profession.

I’d love to announce this as an official PETA victory, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the MLB’s decision to get rid of all their wool caps in favor of a polyester blend has more to do with the suffering of sweaty baseball players in the heat than with the suffering of merino sheep … Read more »
A couple of years ago, we went after P. Diddy pretty hard for for his furry ways, and to make a long story short, he wound up meeting with us about the issue. We explained how animals on fur farms are killed by anal or vaginal electrocution, how animals in the wild are often drowned, … Read more »
Prada girl showing off a piece from the “Fake Classic” line Well, I guess since Prada is Italian and all, it would really be Part Due, but that’s not the point here . . . The whole “Prada Bored With Fur” story is all over the place, especially in the fashion press. The one from … Read more »

Jennifer Lopez just had a screening of her new film, Bordertown, at the Berlin Film Festival, but she started crying when the crowd responded with loud boos.

Check out this new PETA Europe ad starring international R&B singer Jamelia. She’s blowing up in the British music scene at the moment, so I’m really excited about this ad.

IAMS was owned by another company when this investigation took place in 2007. I’ll keep you posted, as details become available, but in the meantime, remember to join these folks in the Iams boycott and only feed your dogs and cats food from cruelty-free companies.
Check out how PETA Europe and PETA India celebrated Valentine’s Day a few hours ago. I love it. Love the bed, love the signs, love it all. As you can see, they’re a tiny bit more conservative in Mumbai than Dublin, but I gotta be honest, those wings and the heart bow and arrow are … Read more »
Wow, check out this photo of Victoria’s Secret supermodel Fernanda Tavares sporting our “No Fur” button. I got it on Valentine’s Day, no less!

So a little while back, we had this brilliant idea for a web feature, which was going to be called “PETA’s Top 10 Reasons to Go to Ringling Circus.” The idea was that it would secretly be, like, 10 reasons not to go, except cleverly disguised in a different format. Or something. I don’t remember … Read more »
The bird flu post the other day reminded me of a hilarious old picture from The Onion. Unfortunately, I just didn’t get around to writing about it in the blog at the time, but as I like to say about me marrying Natalie Portman and you going vegetarian … better late than never. With all … Read more »
