(We have another take on Blackglama’s ad, but … Read more »
Babble / CC This weekend in Miami, with friends from Ocean Drive magazine (which runs PETA ads free of charge), I attended the grand reopening of the swanky Fontainebleau Hotel.

I honestly can’t tell who’s more stunning in PETA Europe’s new anti-fur ad—Topsy, or Natalie Imbruglia! I mean, sure, Natalie’s gorgeous, but Topsy has such fluffy ears …. Really, though, “Torn” artist Natalie Imbruglia really shines in her new ad, which points out that even a “little fur trim” is the product of an industry … Read more »
instyle / CC The following is a guest post from PETA Europe’s Fish & Chimps blogger Alexia Weeks: Avid Fish & Chimps fans were probably wondering why PETA didn’t jump in with teeth bared after Kate Winslet posed naked on what looks like a real fur throw in the latest issue of Vanity Fair.

Raccoon Dog Pupskathyannepippig / CC I don’t know about you, but before last year, all I knew about melamine was that it was used to make a hard resin for shatter-resistant kitchenware and floor laminates. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous companies in China found another use for it—adding it to foods to make them appear to have … Read more »
askmen / CC The latest edition of Curve Magazine features the gorgeous Mia Kirshner in something that looks suspiciously furry. But fear not! For no, that’s not a fox carcass strewn across her lovely shoulders; it’s merely a convincing imposter. Thankfully, both Mia (aka Jenny Schector of HBO’s The L Word) and the editors of … Read more »

Attempt 1: Five years ago, the longtime PETA supporter turned down an invitation … Read more »
PETA President Ingrid Newkirk‘s new book One Can Make a Difference is a collection of essays by some pretty awesome people—and one of my favorites is the wonderful Stella McCartney.

We’ll serve up two “scientists” with horrendous records of drugging, isolating, and otherwise torturing animals and allow … Read more »
In 2007, PETA received a call from a whistleblower who tipped us off to a Cleveland lab, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF), that performed a fatal brain surgery on a dog for a useless medical-device sales demonstration. Fast forward to 2008. PETA has received yet another tip from a whistleblower because of yet another alleged … Read more »
drew / CC So, remember that blog from last week about PETA’s frustration with Armani’s broken promise not to use fur? Well don’t worry, we haven’t lost our steam!
