Seattle BOR Meeting Group shot

PETA supporters decked out in “No Monkeys, Better Science” shirts crowded in the University of Washington’s (UW) Board of Regents meeting, bringing board members face-to-face with video of newborn monkeys shrieking in fear in the school’s laboratories and calling for the closure of the Washington National Primate Research Center.

Hell on Wheels Turkey Truck in front of Trader Joe's

PETA’s notorious “Hell on Wheels” hyper-realistic turkey transport truck has kicked off a new tour to give shoppers a birds-eye view of what turkeys endure in transit and urge them to give the birds a break. Find out if the truck is headed your way!

UW Kills Monkeys

With the release of never-before-seen footage of baby monkeys tormented at the University of Washington’s primate center, PETA and NARN supporters set up a sign that was too bright to be missed by anyone driving by.

H&M banner drop

Shoppers got an eyeful when sheep supporters took over an H&M in London. This protest follows a PETA Asia investigation into a NATIVA-certified wool farm, where workers were filmed kicking and stomping on sheep, dragging lambs by their legs, and leaving animals with gaping wounds after shearing. The farm supplied H&M Group with wool marketed as “responsibly sourced.”

Man holding up fake 'cow head'

A severed “cow’s” head turned heads outside a McDonald’s in Glasgow as PETA UK gave diners a face-to-face reminder of who ends up in their burgers, urging them to rethink their next Happy Meal.

Demonstrators holding signs up to Pope Leo

After following Pope Leo from the Vatican all the way to Buenos Aires, animal advocates waited for hours for a fleeting chance to urge the Catholic Church to reject cruelty in the arena. Their unmissable signage reached the pontiff during a high-profile Popemobile appearance—and sparked conversations with worshippers afterward.

Human shackled with fake blood

A woman hanging upside down and screaming disrupted a grand opening of a Raising Cane’s to remind everyone of the terror chickens experience before ending up in a fast-food bag. Animal allies have held similar protests across the country to make the point that chickens should be left in peace, not pieces.

Person walking past two posters

As the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair rolls in, PETA is confronting diners with a reminder that calves, piglets, and chicks value their lives.

A freshly shaved dog

Building dog houses and chauffeuring clients to and from spay/neuter appointments aren’t the only lifesaving duties a PETA fieldworker will see in their day-to-day. Chuckie was in desperate need of a shave, and he was given a free grooming session, much to the relief of his grateful guardian.

Christmas Spectacular snow globe demo

As the Christmas Spectacular kicks off its holiday run, PETA gave Radio City Music Hall a shake-up with a sad, chained “camel” trapped inside a giant inflatable snow globe, as PETA supporters rallied alongside the display to call attention to the camels, sheep, and donkeys suffering in the show.

Where Animals Need Us Most

Learn how animals suffer when used for experimentation, food, entertainment, clothing and the pet trade. Together, we can make a difference.

Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.

Ingrid Newkirk with cow at Animal Rahat sanctuary in India

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?
