It seems that the residents of Panguitch, Utah, won’t have to evacuate just yet, but as they await the possible impact of melting snow, PETA is poised to help them out. PETA Pitches Panguitch a Dam Good Bargain As emergency repairs continue on a massive 60-foot-long crack that’s threatening the integrity of the Panguitch Lake Dam, we sent a letter to Allen Henrie, president of the West Panguitch Irrigation & Reservoir Company, offering to contribute to the considerable funds required to fix the fissure—provided the company agrees to plaster the dam with our eye-catching appeal urging resid ..read more

This spring, PETA workers once again rolled into two underserved communities in Mexico—the rural town of Chichimilá and a neighborhood in Cancún—to host a pair of free spay/neuter clinics. A team of veterinarians “fixed” nearly 500 cats and dogs for their loving guardians and helped them with basic preventive care. But our crew didn’t expect to find a sad little stowaway, who would end up making the voyage with them all the way back to Norfolk, Virginia. Enter Gordon. This small brown dog, who was enduring life on the streets, homeless, and suffering from a host of medical issues, wandered str ..read more

Progress! The nonprofit GreaterGood has scrapped its “humane” claims about wool and silk following a warning from PETA. In March 2024, we fired off a letter to the organization’s CEO informing him that cruelty is the norm in the wool and silk industries. PETA entities have revealed that workers mutilate screaming, defenseless sheep for wool and that delicate silkworms are boiled to death in their cocoons for silk. GreaterGood made misleading claims about “100% verified and cruelty free wool,” “[h]umanely gathered alpaca wool,” and “cruelty-free” silk. As we noted in our letter, these claims de ..read more

Universities across the country are getting away with murder, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is their accomplice. NIH is charged with policing the animal experimentation facilities that it funds with nearly $20 billion in taxpayer money each year. But it has failed to adequately address a string of alarming welfare violations at Johns Hopkins University, including the recent deaths of a dog and a rabbit, as well as repeated incidents of noncompliance at various other NIH-funded institutions. So PETA is going over the agency’s head and calling on the Office of Inspector General at ..read more
