Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.
About us
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) entities have more than 9 million members and supporters globally, and PETA U.S. is the largest animal rights organization in the world. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, in the food industry, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of rodents, birds, and other animals who are often considered “pests” as well as cruelty to domesticated animals. PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns. PETA Foundation was founded in 1993 as an organization that helps PETA run, and includes departments like IT, Development, and Interactive Media. PETA and the PETA Foundation are two separate organizations but work very closely together. Looking for a career in animal rights?

Going undercover already exhibits bravery, but risking your cover to save a dying animal is on another level. Sadly, even though an investigator rushed to get veterinary care for a civet cat, the animal ended up passing away. Let her memory be a constant reminder of the cruelty of the civet coffee industry. Please never buy “cat poop coffee” (aka “kopi luwak”). https://lnkd.in/eTw_Cq8v #undercover #cruelty #animals #investigator #investigation #coffee #CivetCoffee #AnimalRights #AnimalJustice #activist #advocate #NotOurs2Use

The show must not go on! In the film and television industries, baby monkeys are taken away from their mothers and wild animals are often physically and psychologically abused. Monkeys like Crystal have been forced to perform stressful, unnatural acts for Apple TV+’s shows—join us in calling on the company to ban the use of primates from all future projects. https://lnkd.in/g7sQ9Rut #monkeys #TV #TakeAction #advocate #activist #animals #AnimalRights #NotYourEntertainment #NotOurs2Use #PETA

Approximately 46 million turkeys are killed for Thanksgiving every year in the U.S. Many Americans even refer to the holiday as “Turkey Day” and devour them piece by piece—giblets, gizzards and all. Before you baste and bake another turkey, consider that these birds are sentient individuals who enjoy having their feathers stroked, gobbling along to music and playing together. With all the festive vegan options available, there’s no good excuse to eat turkeys or other animals for Thanksgiving or at any other time of the year. Have a happy and humane holiday! https://lnkd.in/ei4k5j9W #turkey #facts #sentient #ThanksVegan #vegan #FriendsNotFood #MeatIsMurder #Reasons2GoVegan #NotOurs2Eat #GoVegan #AnimalRights #Hero4Animals

At a congressional briefing hosted by Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas-22), PETA scientists and a medical doctor warned Congress about the squandering of tax dollars on U.S.-funded foreign laboratories, where research misconduct and animal abuse are widespread. Our experts urged legislators to support the bipartisan Cease Animal Research Grants Overseas (CARGO) Act (HR 4757), which would ban the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from funding animal experimentation in other countries. Each year, NIH hemorrhages $300 million by funding foreign laboratories’ experiments on animals. In these laboratories, experimenters have addicted dogs to opioids and rats to cocaine, force-fed highly toxic substances to beagles, caused strokes in monkeys, infected pigs and hamsters with parasites, crushed rabbits’ spinal cords, infected bats with harmful viruses transmissible to humans, and engaged in other horrors. The CARGO Act would prevent waste and fraud common in animal laboratories and would allow for the funding of animal-free, human relevant research in the U.S. and all over the world. The bill would prevent taxpayer money from going to waste and would very likely lead to better science—and that means effective treatments for disease. You can help make this happen by urging your U.S. representative to support this crucial bill. https://lnkd.in/g3Z4VdgP #NIH #NationalInstituteofHealth #AnimalExperimentation #Experimentation #AnimalTesting #ScientificTesting #CARGOAct #SpeakUp #Activism #AnimalActvism

Four long years locked up in solitary confinement could crush even the strongest spirit, but Timothy, a dog who endured this terrible boredom and neglect inside a tiny backyard pen, never lost his zest for life. See how we helped expand his world in a new PETA rescue video. PETA fieldworkers visited Timothy in a decrepit pen in rural North Carolina regularly, doing whatever they could to provide him with comfort and socialization, and each time, they tried desperately to convince his owner to relinquish him. Finally, when Timothy was about 4 years old, our team prevailed—and they wasted no time in unlocking the pen and whisking him away to a loving family in Syracuse, New York. Thanks to PETA, Timothy was freed from a horrible pen and now lives in a loving home, but countless other dogs like him are confined or chained outside 24/7 without adequate food, water, or shelter in all types of weather. To help dogs like Timothy, please support PETA’s work taking care of “backyard dogs,” advocate for tethering bans in your community, and work with elected representatives to help get ordinances that ban or restrict chaining passed. To get started, see what current legislation on tethering dogs exists in your community. Take action now. https://lnkd.in/gqNHJSEd #animalrescue #adoptdontshop #dogs #advocate #animalcare #animalcruelty #animalwelfare

When disaster strikes, animals, just like their human companions, can lose everything in the blink of an eye. That’s what happened in parts of western North Carolina when Hurricane Helene unleashed flooding that destroyed homes, roads, and other infrastructure. Residents and their animal companions are still relying on aid for everyday essentials. Now that road access has been somewhat restored, PETA’s Community Animal Project traveled there to replenish supplies for animals in need. https://lnkd.in/gD9th72S #disaster #disasterrelief #hurricane #huricaneHelene #Activism #AnimalActivism #DisasterActivism #NaturalDisaster ##PETA #CommunityAnimalProject

If you’ve seen the news about 43 monkeys who busted out of their Alpha Genesis prison in South Carolina in early November, you’re prob rooting for the monkeys—and we are, too. They outsmarted their tormentors. They bested their oppressors. Even though they were forced to live in misery, they held onto the tiny spark inside them that the experimenters couldn’t touch. And one day, they tasted freedom! Born Free USA has offered to work with Alpha Genesis to provide the animals a suitable home at its Texas-based primate sanctuary. Anonymous donors have committed $250,000 for the long-term care of any of the escaped monkeys once transferred to the sanctuary. All the pieces are in place—now, we need to get NIH to do the right thing. Please help TODAY by urging the agency to send all 43 monkeys to live their lives peacefully. https://lnkd.in/dcwhEMm5 #monkeys #misery #prison #cruelty #torment #experimenters #help #urgent #TakeAction #advocate #activist #NotOurs2Use #NotAnExperment #sanctuary

After the successful rescue of a mother dog and her puppies near the front lines, PETA-supported Animal Rescue Kharkiv’s team was driving to get them to safety when, suddenly, their truck was bombed on the empty road—a drone attack! Thankfully, the canine family and the members of the rescue team all survived and are now safe. The explosive destroyed the vehicle’s engine. Had they been going just slightly faster, all the passengers would have been hit and likely killed. https://lnkd.in/ghdMA9Cb #AnimalSafety #AnimalRescue #AnimalWelfare #Drone #DroneAttack #Rescue #RescueTeam #Ukraine #AidWorkers #RescueStory
