Aaaaaaa: A ‘Cow’ on the Subway, a ‘Human Skin’ Fashion Show, and More

Action Team February E-News!

Dear Aaaaaaa, Every leaflet you distribute, letter you write, and phone call you make has the potential to change lives—and each new victory is proof of that. Read on for exciting updates about campaigns and victories and to see how Action Team members, like you, are seizing every opportunity to change the world for animals. Map for a Kinder World Mom-to-be Eliza F. knows that the future of the planet depends on our going vegan. Go to PETA.org/Action to find easy and creative ways to speak up for animals. A Mooving Display Carla and Brian W. rode the subway during rush hour to hand out leaflets about Starbucks’ udderly ridiculous vegan upcharge. Seas Every Opportunity Marline R. uses her “me time” to help animals. On her rejuvenating beach walks, she goes “trash fishing,” picking up trash and discarded fishing gear that could harm wildlife. She posts pics of her bags of loot on social media to encourage friends to follow suit. Leaflets, Leaflets Everywhere Patrick T. is one of the vital folks who slip PETA literature under hotel doors, into airplane seat pockets, into magazine racks at doctors’ offices, and elsewhere. E-mail ActionTeam@peta.org to request free animal rights literature. Activists Held a ‘Human Skin’ Fashion Show Outside an Urban Outfitters Location Activists in hyper-realistic “human skin” unfurled a carpeted “runway” outside an Urban Outfitters location in New York City and posed the following question: If you’re weirded out by the idea of wearing human skin, why are you OK with wearing the skin of other animals? Show your family and friends the true cost of leather. Give someone an Urban Outraged “gift card” that’ll take them to a site with info that’s more valuable than money. Victories for Animals Here are some of the victories we achieved last month with your help. Moolah Shrine Circus ended cruel elephant acts following appeals from more than 60,000 PETA supporters. The U.S. Navy scrapped gruesome decompression tests on sheep. Colombian authorities ordered an end to monkey experiments funded by the National Institutes of Health. And we awarded Stumptown Coffee Roasters for making oat milk its default option. Urge Starbucks to follow suit.   Emergency Aid for Animals in Syria and Turkey With countless victims of the devastating earthquakes in Syria and Turkey still trapped in damaged, unstable, or toppled buildings, PETA’s rescue team is on the ground to save more than 100 dogs, cats, and other animals trapped in these buildings or otherwise left behind. More animals’ stories are available here. Share the Video ***** How will you stand up for animals today?
