This fall, PETA hopes students returning to the classroom will find one thing missing: animals. Here’s why we must reshape and rethink education.

Even during the pandemic, countless animals need PETA’s help every day. Here are some highlights from our field team, which came to the aid of animals in need.

This “horror show” is evidence of a widespread problem: Millions of American dogs are euthanized each year, yet thousands are shipped from overseas, adding to the death toll.

First impressions can be deceiving. Just ask Julius, a cat who was once thought to be feral but turned out to be anything but.

It’s often the case that the only food, clean water, or loving touch that these animals ever receive comes from PETA’s dedicated field team.

PetSmart sells helpless animals to anyone who can pay. The chain reportedly sold vulnerable hamsters to someone who tortured and killed them.

If you were misled into purchasing a snake or another habitat that didn’t meet the animal’s most basic needs, please contact us.

Records show that a dog named Beethoven who developed an inflamed scrotum while being boarded at a PetSmart kennel wasn’t given veterinary care. His suffering must have been awful.

For stoic pup Yeehaw Wayne and miniature horse Bea, there’s (now) no place like home. Meet them and the other animals PETA’s essential fieldworkers helped in April.

PETA is searching for the right castle for sweet Diana—could yours be the one?

At one store, a lethargic bearded dragon who wasn’t eating was held for more than three weeks without receiving veterinary care. The suffering must have been terrible.
