Featured  Carting monkeys around to events and subjecting them to a constant barrage of strange noises and disruptive activity while humans touch them is anything but merry—it's a subtly disguised spectacle of animal abuse. The organizers of the "Dickens of a Christmas" event in Maryland plan to exploit Django on December 8 and 9, despite knowing that public displays are not only stressful to animals but also dangerous to the public.  Days before the worst time in the U.S. for turkeys, PETA, Oscar-nominated actor and animal rights activist James Cromwell, and the group Direct Action Everywhere arranged for the rescue of 100 gentle turkeys who'd been imprisoned on a farm in Utah, preventing them from being sent to a slaughterhouse, where their throats would have been slit.  Take the guesswork out of your compassionate holiday shopping by visiting the PETA Mall. With so many kind gift options to choose from, it's easy to find something special for everyone on your list.  Animal experimenters are trying to force airlines to send monkeys to laboratories to be poisoned, crippled, and more. Please leave a comment by Thursday, December 6, in defense of airlines' choice not to contribute to senseless deaths.  Take action for animals with PETA's free iPhone/iPad app. It's the easiest way to participate in our campaigns. And now, you can download the PETA Latino version of the app—it'll change your life and help change the lives of countless animals.  Female dogs are bought, sold, and manipulated as though they were goods rather than sentient beings. They receive hardly any affection, suffer from illnesses and injuries, and are otherwise badly neglected. Their puppies are sold, given away, or abandoned. This is a crisis in our Latino communities—so please join PETA Latino in an effort to stop the breeding of dogs in order to help end animal homelessness.  Animals used for meat are reared and then killed. Cows used for dairy "products," however, are exploited and abused for years—and then killed.  Hundreds of rabbits are killed by the hour in the Orylag fur trade for "luxury" trinkets and trim. They spend their entire lives in decrepit, cramped cages, to which they're confined in darkness for months, and they suffer from dehydration, malnutrition, and various injuries. Please ask Dolce & Gabbana to stop selling all fur.  How can you make sure that your trip won't hurt animals? Follow PETA on TripAdvisor.com.  A PETA eyewitness investigation revealed that the canine blood bank Hemopet keeps around 200 dogs inside tiny crates and barren, rusty kennels for about 23 hours every day. These greyhounds—who, like all dogs, are eager to run and play and long for companionship—are reduced to being bled for cash.  PETA Asia has obtained disturbing eyewitness video footage captured inside a Cambodian slaughterhouse showing workers repeatedly bashing cows in the head with sledgehammers before finally cutting their throats while they're still conscious. Their skin is then cut off to be sold by the global leather industry. Urgent Action Needed |
