Featured  Donkeys on the Greek island of Santorini are treated like taxis and forced to carry heavy loads up more than 500 steps multiple times a day, are given practically no respite from the hot Mediterranean sun, are beaten, and are even denied access to water. This needs to end now.  In the first episode of PETA's must-watch new video series, Christina Sewell describes how one act of kindness to a pig headed to the slaughterhouse changed her attitude about work and life.  Right now, terrified dogs and cats left behind by owners fleeing Hurricane Florence are desperately waiting for help. Your gift to PETA's Animal Emergency Fund will provide our rescue team with the resources that it needs in order to respond quickly when animals have no other hope. Please don't wait!  When animal experimenters cut up, burn, torment, and deliberately sicken animals, their actions are protected under the guise of "research." Yet as we reveal, some experimenters go on to harm humans. Ask the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services to require a psychiatric evaluation of anyone who's applying for federal funding to conduct experiments on animals.  One page, multiple opportunities to help—take action on all the most urgent PETA action alerts for animals this month, then share with friends and family.  PETA's Emergency Rescue Team is in North Carolina right now, going door to door to warn people not to leave dogs chained up or in crates and never to leave them behind during a hurricane. Not everyone will listen. Check back for the latest updates on PETA's Emergency Rescue Team and learn what you can do to help animals affected by Hurricane Florence as well as how to help protect animals during natural disasters.  PETA's 2018 Elly Awards recognize compassionate actors and TV series for their inclusion of animal-friendly storylines and for entertaining viewers without exploiting wild animals.  See why carrying a leather handbag is just like biting into a hamburger.  A few years ago, Botswana rightfully banned the coward's pastime of trophy hunting, but in April, a new government took power, and it disarmed the country's anti-poaching unit shortly afterward. As a result, elephants are now being killed for their tusks. The government is also reconsidering its ban on elephant hunting.  Animals caught in traps are often strangled, stomped on, or bludgeoned to death when the trapper returns so that Canada Goose can use fur trim on its jackets. If that weren't bad enough, the company also stuffs its jackets with feathers from birds who are herded into small wire pens before they're shackled, their throats are slit, and they are dumped into scalding-hot defeathering tanks.
