Treatment Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way. All beings desire freedom to live a natural life, according to their inherent desires and instincts.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world, and PETA entities have more than 9 million members and supporters globally.

PETA exposes animals suffering in laboratories, in the food industry, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry.

PETA informs policymakers and the public about animal abuse and promotes kind treatment of animals. PETA is an international nonprofit charitable organization based in Norfolk, Virginia, with entities worldwide.

Animals are counting on compassionate people like you to give them a voice and be their heroes by learning about the issues they face and taking action. Each of us has the power to save animals from nightmarish suffering-and best of all, it’s easier than you might think.

Funded by millions in taxpayer dollars, National Institutes of Health (NIH) experimenter Elisabeth Murray sucks out or burns parts of monkeys’ brains, confines the animals to a metal box, and then terrorizes them with rubber snakes and spiders.

PETA’s blog is your source for information about PETA’s campaigns, breaking news about animals, and animal rights information from around the globe. Visit PETA Living for the latest vegan news and trends.

Surprise: Big ‘Animal Protection’ Groups Are Turning Their Backs on Animals What PETA found on 12 farms exposes how the ASPCA, The Humane Society of the United States, and another “animal welfare” group are endorsing massive animal suffering!

You can be confident that your contribution to PETA will go straight to work helping animals—by ending horrifying experiments, funding investigations to expose cruelty on massive farms, stopping animals from being abused and killed for their skin, rescuing dogs and cats from neglect, and much more.

If an animal is in imminent danger, please contact your local police department immediately. If your local police department is unresponsive, call PETA immediately—day or night—at 757-622-7382, option 2. Or you may contact PETA by filling out our Report Cruelty to Animals form.
