Featured  The world's largest manufacturer of controversial food flavor enhancer monosodium glutamate (MSG) has been tormenting thousands of dogs, fish, gerbils, guinea pigs, mice, pigs, rabbits, and rats in horrific and deadly experiments since the 1950s. Urge it to ban animal testing now.  After a PETA campaign dating back to the '80s—when PETA made Macy's its prime target for its Fur-Free Friday protests and activists were arrested for blocking the doors at its store at Herald Square in New York and disrupting its Thanksgiving Day parade—PETA is toasting a new fur-free era at Macy's, which has announced that it will stop selling fur by the end of 2020.  Right now, an experimenter at Johns Hopkins University is cutting into the skulls of owls and poking wires into their brains while they're still awake. Your gift today will do twice as much to stop cruel and deadly tests on birds and other animals.  PETA's new animated version of Paul McCartney's song "Looking for Changes" is now more relevant than ever. Billions of dollars are spent every year on cruel experiments on animals, even though the tests rarely lead to treatments that can be used to help humans.  More than a million young birds die in pigeon races every single year in Taiwan. Now, 221 people have been prosecuted as a result of PETA's investigation of these ruthless races and the rampant illegal gambling involved. This is huge progress, but we must keep the pressure on until these deadly races are banned.  The University of California–Riverside—the same school whose experimenters once infamously stitched an imprisoned baby monkey's eyes shut—is now developing groundbreaking non-animal tests using stem cells.  At Oswald's Bear Ranch—a seedy roadside zoo in Michigan that acquires bear cubs from breeders for entertainment and exploits them for tourists' photo ops—at least six bears have been slaughtered and another was killed for supposedly being too "mean." The 39 bears currently being held captive there deserve to live at a better place than this death trap—urge it to send the bears to reputable sanctuaries.  It's never a treat when you find milk, eggs, crushed insects, or gelatin in your candy—so we've put together a list of all vegan treats that are perfect for Halloween.  Forget everything that you thought you knew about eating meat. The Game Changers—a new film by Academy Award winners James Cameron and Louie Psihoyos—is now on Netflix and iTunes and is turning the biggest and longest-held meat myth on its head.  After years of pressure by PETA, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that it will be allotting more taxpayer money to advanced, animal-free test methods in order to find treatments and cures for sepsis, instead of focusing on deadly, ineffective, and flawed experiments on mice and rats that tell us nothing about the condition in humans. Now, please urge NIH to take the next step by ending all sepsis experiments on animals.  An estimated 10 million animals—including frogs, rats, cats, and fetal pigs—are still used in cruel and archaic classroom dissection each year. If your school or classroom has cut out dissection or plans to go dissection-free, see how you can have a chance to win free virtual dissection software and other prizes during "Cut Out Dissection" Month.
