Featured Seeing the wounds of a horse in Egypt who was beaten in the face (0:43 in the linked video) is heart-rending. Horses deserve better—speak up for them and other animals beaten and abused for the tourism industry. If a proposed draft regulation is passed in China, it would prevent thousands of animals from being subjected to painful product tests. Requirements for tests on animals would be waived for many imported cosmetics products sold in the country—which are currently required to be dripped into the eyes and shoved down the throats of animals. This is great progress, and thanks to your generosity, PETA was the first to fund the training of scientists there in non-animal methods. Now, please help other animals used in cruel experiments by speaking up for those who are terrorized in U.S. government–sponsored laboratories. PETA's eyewitnesses document horrific abuse in the skins trade, and the reports are having a huge impact. We need your help to continue investigating and stop the worst abuses. Bears used by Castle's Bears are smacked with a stick throughout shows to ensure that they remain scared enough to perform. *Text the word MUZZLE to 73822 to urge the exhibitor to stop forcing bears like Nanook and Tutter to do pointless, cruel, and demeaning tricks. The orca Kayla reportedly died of "lung disease" in one of SeaWorld's tanks at just 30 years old. But this announcement from SeaWorld Orlando tells the public virtually nothing.

How about a habit that melts your heart? Or maybe you just have the cutest chicken around.

As more and more people learn about the cruelty inherent in the dairy industry—in which mother cows are forcibly impregnated and their babies are taken away from them—the demand for dairy-free treats is greater than ever. Yet some frozen yogurt chains still don't offer many (or any!) vegan options. Ask chains such as Yogurtland, Menchie's, and others to add exciting new flavors made from soy milk, cashew milk, and coconut milk. If you're a student, you can use the PETA Points app to take action for animals, get points, and exchange your points for free stuff like T-shirts, stickers, and more.
