Actor Emilio Rivera knows there’s nothing macho about abusing animals. Rivera was near tears as he talked about dogs who are chained outdoors 24/7: “Yeah, sometimes you think, Why is my dog barking so much? Because you got him chained up. That’s why he’s Mayans M.C. Star: Dogs Belong Inside

“What is more enchanting than the voices of young people when you can’t hear what they’re saying?” If essayist Logan Pearsall Smith was talking about that screaming child two seats over, OK! But nothing is more enchanting than hearing young people advocating for animals – on school campuses, to friends, and even to the annoyance of their family members who would prefer to stick to old, dirty habits like pouring cow’s milk into their coffee. Young people must not be alone in objecting to what is considered “normal” and yet is truly unspeakable. I mean, how can slaughterhouses be considered normal? Slaughterhouses! And how is it OK to confine a petrified baby monkey to a lab and implant electrodes in his head? We must all roar until these things are universally considered shameful.

PETA Stops Med School’s Pig Mutilations Victory!

After the Irinjadappilly Sree Krishna Temple pledged never to use real elephants, PETA India and actor Parvathy Thiruvothu presented it with a jumbo gift: a realistic, life-size animatronic elephant who waggles his ears, lifts his trunk, moves his head, and performs ceremonies, even spraying water. As highly social beings, elephants need to live with their families and walk miles every day, but those used in temples are beaten, chained, and isolated. PETA India has freed some – including Sunder and Gajraj, who went to sanctuaries – and urges all temples to use only mechanical elephants. As this temple’s priest says, “Real worship is to protect all forms of life created by God.” Robots vs. Real Elephants in Temples Big Win!

Maharashtra Prohibits Manja and Protects Pigs

The other day I put a WunderEggs vegan hard boiled egg on my salad. I defy anyone to tell the difference between that and one from a chicken, although there is a big difference: No bird was involved, no factory farming, no slaughter. My favorite shoes are a beautiful pair of French espadrilles with embroidered flowers.

PETA India spoke up, and the Maharashtra government stepped up – with a ban on deadly manja. Used in kite-flying contests, this string coated with finely crushed glass, metal, or other substances slashes and even cuts off the wings or feet of thousands of birds every year. The state government also instructed local officials to comply with PETA India’s request to ban gestation and farrowing crates in pig farming. These crates are so small that sows can’t turn around or stand up in them.

Vegan. My face cream – not that any live up to their promises – is from No7 brand, no animals involved. Please show and tell people – it’s so blessedly easy these days. Opportunities abound. People come to the door, companies solicit your opinion of their product, social media posts clamor for comments, thousands of folks see a bumper sticker on your car. Try saying, “Excuse me – your dog was trying to sniff something interesting there!” or “What a lovely coat. It’s vegan, isn’t it?!” A moment on the lips to deliver vital tips! Act now. As The Rolling Stones sang, “You might wake up in the morning and find your poor self dead” – and your opportunity to change things, lost.

HelloFresh Drops Thai Coconut Milk

Following PETA Asia investigations and nearly 100,000 e-mails from our supporters, meal kit delivery giant HelloFresh removed Thai coconut milk products from its supply chain. In Thailand, infant macaque monkeys are kidnapped from their forest homes and chained, beaten, and forced to pick coconuts. PETA UK “monkeys” dumped humanely picked coconuts outside Whole Foods, demanding that it join retailers – including supermarket chain ASDA – that have banned Thai coconut milk. Be Part of It! Urge Whole Foods to end 365 brand Thai monkey labor at PETA.org.au/CoconutMilk . Go to PETA.org/KindCoconuts for brands that don’t use coconut milk from Thailand.

Following PETA India’s appeals, Haryana also banned manja, and Assam and Odisha outlawed gestation and farrowing crates. Be Part of It! Pigs dream, know their own names, and enjoy music. Help them and other animals by trying the vegan recipes at PETA.org.au/Recipes .
