“Dogs are social, loving animals. They just want to be with you.” New York Jets defensive tackle Solomon Thomas – a two-time Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominee and the recipient of the 2023 Heisman Humanitarian Award – gets right to the point in a PETA video urging people never to chain their dogs outside as if they were bicycles. See and share his video at PETA.org/SolomonThomas . And if you see an animal in distress, say something. You could save a life! NFL Star Tackles Dog Chaining

PETA India Saves Stray Dogs From Drug Tests

Stray dogs were spared the agony of being used in vaccine trials after the Committee for Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals – responding to concerns raised by PETA India – withdrew its plan. PETA India had pointed out that the misguided plan would open the floodgates for other painful experiments on homeless companion animals (like Rossy, pictured, who was rescued by PETA supported Animal Rahat) and appealed to the committee to encourage scientifically sound, animal-free research instead.

Another Deadly Iditarod Notorious Iditarod musher Dallas Seavey’s dogs have tested positive for opioids, his kennel was accused of killing dogs who weren’t fast enough, and a whistleblower reported finding dying puppies on his property. After PETA and more than 60,000 of our supporters let the American Pistachio Growers know this, the trade group stopped sponsoring Seavey before the start of this year’s race – and thank goodness, because the 2024 Iditarod was one of the deadliest in recent years. Before the race even began, five dogs – including two from Seavey’s kennel – were killed in two separate training incidents after being hit by snow machines. More than 200 dogs were pulled from the trail due to exhaustion, injury, or illness. Visit PETA.org.au/LibertyMedia to tell Liberty Media subsidiary GCI to join ExxonMobil , Coca-Cola , and dozens of others that have cut ties with the Iditarod.

Buckingham Palace confirmed to PETA UK that Queen Camilla will not procure fur for her wardrobe. She follows in the footsteps of the late Queen Elizabeth II , who changed with the times and announced in 2019 that no new items for her wardrobe would contain real fur. Camilla’s stance shows that the Ministry of Defence’s use of bear fur for the King’s Guard’s ceremonial caps is completely out of touch. A PETA video exposé reveals how bears are baited with food and shot by hunters in Canada so that their fur can be sold. Visit PETA.org.au/Bearskins to urge officials to use their influence to help replace bear fur with faux fur for the guard’s caps.

Elite Spanish actor Georgina Amorós worked with PETA for a powerful ad that was displayed in central Madrid just as the bullfighting season began. “People have the misconception that bulls are violent … when, actually, they’re very peaceful and calm,” she says. “And the truth is, they’re just frightened.”

After talks with PETA UK, the British Council banned fur at London Fashion Week . But animals suffer for more than fur in the fashion industry, so a PETA UK supporter muscled her way onto the red carpet at The Fashion Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall to proclaim that every animal is someone, not a bag or a pair of boots. PETA entities’ takeovers are prompting talks with decision-makers, like those behind Melbourne Fashion Week , which banned feathers from wild birds, and Copenhagen Fashion Week , which banned feathers and exotic skins. And PETA entities didn’t stop there. After hearing from them, Taiwanese retailer Momo dropped badger-hair makeup brushes and home-furnishings supplier Kravet Inc said no to cashmere. Fur is now out at winter apparel brand Pajar Canada , Tory Burch binned exotic skins, House of Fraser ditched angora, and France’s Isabel Marant canned angora, fur, and exotic skins.

PETA’S PUSH ENDS BOGUS EXPERIMENTS Cruel experiments on animals are no longer an option for food and beverage companies in Taiwan trying to make dubious blood-iron health claims about BRAVO!

Reality Star Says, ‘Get Fit!’ Jansen Andre , winner of The Summit and star of this eye-catching PETA Australia ad, says, “Since I cut out animal-derived foods, I’ve had more energy and become stronger than ever. I’m proud to be plant powered.” Animal agriculture is cruel – and eating meat, eggs, and dairy raises your risk of suffering from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other health issues.
