Featured  Deer in a residential community in Yantis, Texas, are being netted and killed in a misguided attempt to reduce their population. Every minute spent trapped is a terrifying eternity for these easily frightened prey animals, who can badly injure themselves in frantic attempts to get free. Families of deer are torn apart, leaving young and weak animals vulnerable to starvation and dehydration. Your voice is needed now.  After enduring a decade of deprivation and frustration, Ben and Bogey are now free to play and explore the lush environment around them. See video footage of the bears at The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado, where they're currently hibernating (wait until you see them playing and swimming!), and then learn how you can help other bears who are still languishing at roadside zoos or forced to perform.  Winter's chilliest weeks are still ahead of us—and dogs forced to live outside are suffering tremendously.  A breaking PETA eyewitness exposĂ© of Heifer Solutions, LLC—a Wisconsin farm that keeps and raises approximately 1,000 calves and heifers for various dairy farms—reveals that hot irons were used, without any anesthetics or pain relief, to burn the sensitive tissue off calves' heads as they kicked and cried out in agony and smoke rose from their charred flesh.  We take our responsibility to defend animals, investigate abusers, and end cruelty seriously. And we protect the identities of those who report abuse. If you work in a laboratory or other facility that uses animals and you see ones who aren't receiving adequate veterinary care, don't have sufficient food or water, or are showing signs of distress, etc.—say something. It could help save lives.  As Droga5 is aware, the fur on Canada Goose's jackets is stripped from coyotes who are often caught in traps that crush their limbs and can cut to the bone. Those who don't succumb to infection, blood loss, or attacks by predators are shot, strangled, stomped on, or bludgeoned to death when the trapper returns.  PETA's eyewitness investigations on factory farms, including in Iowa, have found sadistic workers smashing piglets' heads against concrete floors, beating and sexually assaulting pigs with steel gate rods and hard plastic herding canes, and more. Laws should be passed not to protect the abusers but to require that cameras be placed in all slaughterhouses and on all factory farms in order to catch them. PETA has already defeated Idaho's and Utah's "ag-gag" laws—now we've proved again that such legislation violates First Amendment rights. See how you can join us in helping animals on farms.  Dogs at Texas A&M University are bred to suffer from debilitating canine muscular dystrophy, but we can call, text, and e-mail officials and donors today to help stop these horrific experiments.  Imagine having such a fragile sense of self that you'd torment, kill, and eat defenseless individuals just to look "manly." PETA proposes a solution.  Dogs should never be left outside, and when they're exposed to the elements and deprived of access to water or shelter, the situation is an emergency. Here are five simple steps for helping chained dogs in the winter (or anytime). Urgent Action Needed |
