Featured  Virginia Commonwealth University experimenters are addicting monkeys to cocaine, heroin, oxycodone, and fentanyl. The school claimed that it would send them to a sanctuary, but that was a lie.  PETA supporters took action by e-mailing and calling state legislators, and Gov. Jerry Brown has signed the California Cruelty-Free Cosmetics Act, making California the first state in the nation to ban the sales of cosmetics tested on animals. See when the ban will go into effect, how to search for cruelty-free cosmetics, and how you can keep taking action for animals.  Gentle, defenseless rabbits are still being caged, tormented, and killed in cruel tests in some countries—all for the sake of cosmetics sales.  The new standard operating procedure regarding euthanasia at the Norfolk Animal Care and Adoption Center (NACC) in Virginia is causing animals to suffer unnecessarily. Those who aren't adoptable for reasons of health or temperament are made to wait for euthanasia, not only adding to their stress but also taking up a kennel that an incoming animal needs. Because of pressure from the same "no-kill" advocates in 2007, conditions at NACC became so severely crowded and deplorable that animals were deprived of basic necessities and allowed to suffer and die in filthy cages.  © Kelly Guerin | We Animals Members of PETA's Emergency Rescue Team—which spent over a week rescuing animals who were trapped in the historic flooding in North Carolina—saw firsthand how much devastation Hurricane Florence caused. Photojournalists Jo-Anne McArthur and Kelly Guerin of the renowned We Animals project also went to the waterlogged area and captured just how dark and devastating the storm was for these forgotten animals.  Here's how to save animals and help feed families in need. Taking this action will spare turkeys a miserable life and a painful death.  Sheep were seen being punched in the face, beaten with clippers or a hammer, poked in the eyes, twisted by the neck (causing one sheep's neck to break), and sheared so quickly that it created open wounds that were then stitched up without pain relief. The evidence, gathered in eight separate exposés of 72 wool operations on four continents, is overwhelming: Sheep suffer immensely for wool.  In episode 4 of PETA Reveals, Nikki Ford describes what it was like to be the only minority at animal rights protests and explains why the African-American community is important to the animal rights movement.  Female cows produce milk only when they're pregnant or nursing, because they make milk for the same reason that human women do: to feed their babies. Once you see how the "pregnancy gun" is used on mother cows by the dairy industry to keep profits flowing, you'll never want cow's milk again.  The U.S. military, Nabisco, WestJet, and others made changes this month after PETA and our supporters urged them to be kinder to animals.  This is where the animals used for dissection really come from.  Cornell University is allowing bowhunters into its 226-acre "wildlife sanctuary" in a misguided effort to control the deer population. Not only is the plan unethical, it will also fail, as hunting increases breeding among survivors and creates an endless cycle of killing. Urgent Action Needed |
