5 Ways PETA Is Helping Animals in Laboratories This Week

  1. After nine years of PETA’s work with scientists, grants from PETA to the Institute for In Vitro Sciences, and much more, China’s National Medical Products Administration has passed sub-regulations that will allow companies to take steps to market most imported general cosmetics and personal-care products without animal testing.
  2. Following a push by PETA that led to Hass Avocado Board’s precedent-setting policy that bans outrageous animal experiments, we’re now urging newly reappointed Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to stop ripping off farmers for the sake of deadly animal tests funded by fruit, vegetable, and grain research and promotion boards.
  3. We’ve called on the chief editor of Scientific Reports to retract a recent article coauthored by notorious monkey-terrorizing government experimenter Elisabeth Murray—pointing out the catastrophically flawed design of an experiment that expected captive monkeys to attribute meaning to shapes that supposedly simulated animal behavior in nature.
  4. A Louisiana transport company that landed on PETA’s radar screen when a truck carrying monkeys caught fire won’t be purchasing a former school to warehouse primates before they’re delivered into experimenters’ hands.
  5. PETA Vice President Shalin Gala sat down with Russian news channel NTV to discuss the cruelty of mutilating wildlife in military training exercises during Cobra Gold.
