Trump What becomes of the turkeys who are “pardoned” by a president after Thanksgiving? When PETA visited Gobbler’s Rest on the campus of Virginia Tech, we found four “pardoned” turkeys forced to live in filthy, barren conditions and unable to perform important activities such as dust-bathing or roosting. They’re so stressed and depressed from a lack of fresh air and sunlight and from having nothing to look at or do that their feathers are falling out.

READ THE FULL STORY Mice Forced to Fight Each Other in University’s Racist Experiments Perhaps it shouldn’t surprise anyone that experimenters who imprison, mutilate, and kill sentient beings in a laboratory also conduct racist tests. Taxpayer-funded experiments at the University of Illinois–Chicago claim to study colorectal cancer in Black Americans by forcing mice to fight one another in order to mimic “structural violence observed in urban [African American] communities.” This is junk science.
