Featured  Right now, millions of mice and rats are being burned, shocked, mutilated, or poisoned in painful and ineffective laboratory experiments. Others experience excruciating deaths while stuck to deadly glue traps. In crowded breeding mills that supply small animals to big-box pet stores, they're neglected and denied adequate veterinary care—speak up today.  If the line that wrapped around the parking lot was any indication, the test launch of the vegan Beyond Fried Chicken at the KFC in Smyrna, Georgia, was a smashing success. Over the years, PETA has met with the company's executives, forced KFC to stop lying about animal welfare, and held more than 12,000 protests against the chain. Our action alert asking KFC to offer vegan chicken resulted in more than 100,000 e-mails to the company. This persistence has paid off, and it's getting companies to wake up and see that the demand for vegan options is greater than ever.  Your urgently needed gift to PETA's Compassionate Library Project will provide schools in the Deep South with humane books to support educators as they teach students that the Golden Rule applies to all sentient beings. There isn't a lot of time left to help spread this important message.  Bears are being bred at Yellowstone Bear World, and their cubs are being forced into close proximity with humans to be used as photo props for selfies.  Most of us know by now that leather isn't vegan. But what about other similar materials?  The Association of Zoos and Aquariums just announced a new policy to phase out the use of bullhooks—heavy batons with a sharp metal hook on one end—to train or control elephants in zoos. Share the good news and then take rapid action for captive elephants being exploited for rides, circuses, and tourist traps around the world.  Pony rides and live carousels treat animals like inanimate carnival equipment. Beneath a pony's gentle demeanor and innocent charm is a world of hurt.  After this songbird tormentor's sick, useless experiments, the birds are killed. Urge everyone you know to take action on PETA's alert to stop these horrific experiments.  And these are only the deaths that were reported. Learn the simple steps for keeping animal companions safe in hot weather.  Animals forced to inhale cigarette smoke in laboratories don't get to choose whether they want to or not—humans do. In a lifesaving action, PETA partnered with big tobacco to donate equipment that uses human cells instead of animals for tests. Urgent Action Needed |
