INTERNATIONAL GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGNS PETA ORGANIZES CAMPAIGNS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE ABUSE AND SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS IN THE FOOD, CLOTHING, EXPERIMENTATION, AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES, AMONG OTHER CRUELTY. IN 2016, WE HELPED ORGANIZE MORE THAN 1,500 DEMONSTRATIONS AND SENT OUT 18 MILLION LETTERS THROUGH OUR ONLINE ADVOCACY CAMPAIGNS TO URGE COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE CHANGES THAT BENEFIT ANIMALS. PETAS ACTION TEAMWHICH HELPS PEOPLE SPEAK OUT FOR ANIMALS AND GET INVOLVED IN ADVOCACYGREW FROM 16,000 MEMBERS TO 106,160 MEMBERS. PETAS YOUTH DIVISION, PETA2, INTERACTED WITH MORE THAN 250,000 YOUNG PEOPLE AT COLLEGES, MUSIC FESTIVALS, AND OTHER EVENTS. THE GROUP VISITED MORE THAN 45 TOP COLLEGE CAMPUSES WITH ITS THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY EXHIBIT, WHICH COMPARES THE DEVASTATING ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE OF MEAT PRODUCTION TO THE SIGNIFICANTLY LIGHTER FOOTPRINT OF VEGAN MEALS. ANIMALS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY INFLUENCED BY PETAS CONTINUING EFFORTS TO END DEHORNING (THE CUTTING OR SEARING OFF OF CALVES HORNS WITH NO PAIN RELIEF) IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY, COMPANIES INCLUDING HARRIS TEETER, LIFEWAY FOODS, SPROUTS FARMERS MARKET, PEPSICO, CHOBANI, ALDI, AND DEAN FOODS HAVE STATED THEIR SUPPORT OF AND PURCHASING PREFERENCE FOR POLLED, OR NATURALLY HORNLESS, CATTLE, PAVING THE WAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF THE PAINFUL PROCEDURE. PETA ALSO PERSUADED BOSTON-BASED TASTY BURGER TO PULL ALL REFERENCES TO CERTIFIED HUMANE MEAT FROM ITS WEBSITE, MENU, AND SIGNAGE, AND WE HELPED INFLUENCE PIE FIVE PIZZA TO ADD VEGAN CHEESE TO THE MENUS OF ITS 87 LOCATIONS. IN ADDITION, WE HELPED BEN & JERRYS LAUNCH FOUR FLAVORS OF VEGAN ICE CREAM AND ENCOURAGED DIPPIN DOTS TO INTRODUCE SEVERAL VEGAN PRODUCTS. ANIMALS IN THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY PETA PERSUADED 14 RETAILERS, INCLUDING URBN (THE PARENT COMPANY OF URBAN OUTFITTERS AND ANTHROPOLOGIE), GUESS, RALPH LAUREN, AND ZUMIEZ, TO JOIN THE LIST OF MORE THAN 110 COMPANIES THAT HAVE BANNED ANGORA, AS ITS PRODUCTION INVOLVES PAINFULLY RIPPING OUT LIVE RABBITS FUR. WE CONFIRMED THAT POTTERY BARN AND WEST ELM NOW OFFER A SYNTHETIC OPTION FOR EVERY DOWN-FILLED ITEM THEY SELL, IN ADDITION TO PROMPTING THE SULLIVAN FAMILY OF COMPANIES (WHICH RUNS MORE THAN 100 GIFT SHOPS IN FOUR SEASONS AND OTHER LUXURY HOTELS), SPORT CHALET, AND SHOE CARNIVAL TO BAN FUR. AFTER SPEAKING WITH PETA, BEBE AND NINE WEST BANNED ALL EXOTIC SKINS, AND UBER REMOVED THE LEATHER REQUIREMENT FOR UBERBLACK VEHICLE INTERIORS. ANIMALS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY FOLLOWING YEARS OF RELENTLESS PRESSURE FROM PETA, SEAWORLD AGREED TO END ITS ORCA-BREEDING PROGRAM, ENSURING THAT NO ADDITIONAL ORCAS WILL BE HELD CAPTIVE IN ITS TANKS, AND THE NATIONAL AQUARIUM ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL TRANSFER THE DOLPHINS THERE TO A SEASIDE SANCTUARY, PARTIALLY FUNDED BY PETA, BY 2020. AFTER LAUNCHING A LETTER CAMPAIGN, BILLBOARDS, ADS, AND PROTESTS IN BEHALF OF THE 29 ORCAS AND COUNTLESS OTHER ANIMALS STILL IMPRISONED AT SEAWORLD, PETA LED A NEWS CONFERENCE DURING WHICH A PANEL OF EXPERTS ANNOUNCED THE FORMATION OF THE WHALE SANCTUARY PROJECT, WHOSE MISSION IS TO DEVELOP, DESIGN, AND ESTABLISH A PROTECTED COASTAL LOCATION WHERE CETACEANS (PORPOISES, DOLPHINS AND WHALES) CAN BE REHABILITATED OR CAN LIVE PERMANENTLY. AFTER DECADES OF PETA CAMPAIGNS AND PROTESTS, RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS RETIRED ELEPHANTS FROM ITS CIRCUS ACTS, AND AFTER HEARING FROM PETA, NUMEROUS MALLS AND PROPERTY-MANAGEMENT COMPANIES VOWED NOT TO HOST CIRCUSES THAT USE ANIMALS. FURTHERMORE, THE CITIES OF NORFOLK AND WINCHESTER IN VIRGINIA REFUSED TO LET GARDEN BROS. CIRCUS PERFORM AS LONG AS ELEPHANTS WERE PART OF THE ACTS. ADDITIONALLY, NEARLY A DOZEN TRAVEL AGENCIES AND TOUR COMPANIES AGREED TO STOP OFFERING CAPTIVE-ELEPHANT ENCOUNTERS, INCLUDING RIDES AND SHOWS. PETA ALSO GOT NUMEROUS CRUEL EVENTS CANCELED, INCLUDING ELEPHANT RIDES AT A FLEA MARKET, A TIGER CUB EXHIBIT, A PHOTO OP WITH A LIVE ALLIGATOR AT THE BOWERY HOTEL IN NEW YORK, A PIG-WRESTLING CONTEST, BUTTERFLY AND BALLOON RELEASES, AND A FESTIVAL IN MEXICO AT WHICH DUCKS HEADS ARE TORN OFF AND OPOSSUMS AND IGUANAS ARE STUFFED INTO PIATAS AND BEATEN AND TRAMPLED TO DEATH.

4c (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 12,109,408 including grants of $ 724,461 ) (Revenue $ 422,008 )
RESEARCH, INVESTIGATIONS, AND RESCUE RECEIVING NEARLY 300 COMPLAINTS RELATED TO ANIMAL ABUSE AND NEGLECT EACH WEEK, PETA WORKS TO RESCUE ABUSED, NEGLECTED, AND AT-RISK ANIMALS AND ORGANIZE CARE FOR THEM. THE GROUP ALSO INVESTIGATES CRUELTY CASES; CONDUCTS INVESTIGATIONS; GATHERS EVIDENCE OF LEGAL VIOLATIONS; AND TAKES ACTION TO ENSURE THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS. ANIMALS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY PETA INVESTIGATED SWEET STEM FARM IN PENNSYLVANIA, A HAPPY MEAT SUPPLIER TO WHOLE FOODS, AND FOUND THAT PIGS WERE SUFFERING FROM FEVERS, LAMENESS, BLEEDING RECTAL PROLAPSES AND OTHER CONDITIONS FOR WEEKS WITHOUT BEING EXAMINED OR TREATED BY A VETERINARIAN. ALTHOUGH THE FACILITY IS EXPECTED TO MEET HIGHER WELFARE STANDARDS THAN MOST OF THE PIG-MEAT FARMS THAT SUPPLY WHOLE FOODS, PETA FOUND THAT ANIMALS LIVED IN FACTORY FARMLIKE CONDITIONS WITH 5 SQUARE FEET OF SPACE EACH, AND MORE THAN 20 PIGS WERE PACKED INTO A METAL TRAILER MORE THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE THEY WERE HAULED TO SLAUGHTER AS THE HEAT INDEX EXCEEDED 90 DEGREES. PETA USED THE CASE TO CALL ON WHOLE FOODS TO END ITS MISLEADING CLAIMS THAT ANIMALS KILLED FOR THEIR STORES ARE TREATED HUMANELY. ADDITIONALLY, BECAUSE OF EFFORTS BY PETA AND OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, IDAHOS AG-GAG LAW WAS RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL FOR VIOLATING THE FIRST AND 14TH AMENDMENTS TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A COURT HAS DECLARED AN AG-GAG STATUTE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. SUCH LEGISLATION CRIMINALIZES WHISTLEBLOWING INVESTIGATIONS AT FACTORY FARMS AND SPECIFICALLY TARGETS ANIMAL ADVOCATES WHO EXPOSE CRUELTY. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT VICTORY THAT WILL PROTECT CRUCIAL EYEWITNESS INVESTIGATIONS, WHICH REVEAL BLATANT, OFTEN ILLEGAL ANIMAL ABUSE ON FACTORY FARMS. ANIMALS IN THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY THE NEW YORK TIMES BROKE PETAS INVESTIGATION OF THE COMMERCIAL OSTRICH INDUSTRY IN SOUTH AFRICA, WHICH KILLS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YOUNG OSTRICHES EACH YEAR FOR THEIR SKIN, FEATHERS, AND MEAT, SUPPLYING SKINS TO HERMS, PRADA, LOUIS VUITTON, AND OTHER TOP EUROPEAN FASHION HOUSES. PETAS EXPOS REVEALED THAT YOUNG BIRDS ARE IMPRISONED ON BARREN DIRT FEEDLOTS AND THAT SOME OF THEIR FEATHERS ARE PAINFULLY PLUCKED, INCLUDING THE DAY BEFORE SLAUGHTER. AT THE SLAUGHTERHOUSES, WORKERS YANKED TERRIFIED OSTRICHES INTO STUN BOXES, ELECTRICALLY STUNNED THEM, TURNED THEM UPSIDE DOWN, AND SLIT THEIR THROATS. THE BIRDS NEXT IN LINE WATCHED HELPLESSLY AS THEIR FLOCK MATES WERE KILLED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. AS A RESULT OF THE EXPOS, GLOBAL BRANDS GROUP BANNED OSTRICH-DERIVED MATERIALS FROM ITS CONTROLLED BRANDS, WHICH INCLUDE JUICY COUTURE, FRYE, JONES NEW YORK, JENNIFER LOPEZ, AND DAVID BECKHAM, AMONG MANY OTHERS. ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION INDUSTRY AS A RESULT OF PETAS EFFORTS, CANADA WILL NO LONGER TEST PESTICIDES ON DOGS, WHILE INDIA IS REDUCING THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS USED IN PESTICIDE TESTING, HAS STOPPED REQUIRING THAT DRUGS BE RETESTED ON ANIMALS IF THEYVE ALREADY BEEN TESTED AND APPROVED IN OTHER COUNTRIES, AND HAS APPROVED A NEW NON-ANIMAL METHOD FOR PREDICTING SKIN ALLERGIES. THANKS TO DECADES OF HARD WORK BY PETA, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS WILL BE SPARED ABUSE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE LANDMARK FRANK R. LAUTENBERG CHEMICAL SAFETY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY ACT, WHICH REQUIRES THAT NON-ANIMAL TESTING METHODS BE DEVELOPED, PRIORITIZED, AND USED BEFORE TOXICITY TESTS ON ANIMALS ARE CONSIDERED. PETA INFORMED UNIVERSITIES THAT SANTA CRUZ BIOTECHNOLOGY (SCBT)A BIOTECH FIRM THAT SUPPLIES ANIMAL-DERIVED ANTIBODIES TO LABORATORIES AROUND THE WORLDHAS BEEN REPEATEDLY CITED FOR FAILING TO TREAT SEVERELY ILL OR INJURED GOATS,PREVENTING THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) FROM INSPECTING ANIMALS, AND REPEATEDLY DENYING THE EXISTENCE OF A FACILITY THAT HOUSED MORE THAN 800 GOATS. AS A RESULT, ONE INSTITUTION DROPPED THE CRUEL COMPANY, AND THE USDA ANNOUNCED THAT SCBT MUST PAY A WHOPPING 3.5 MILLION PENALTY (THE LARGEST FINE IN USDA HISTORY) AND STOP USING ANIMALS TO MAKE ANTIBODIES. IN ADDITION, SCIENTISTS FROM THE PETA INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE CONSORTIUM LTD. AND PETAS REGULATORY TESTING DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN BUSY TRAVELING TO MEETINGS, ATTENDING CONFERENCES, HOLDING SEMINARS, LEADING PROJECTS, AND PUBLISHING ARTICLES TO SHOW THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AS WELL AS INDUSTRY AND REGULATORY AGENCIES HOW TO REPLACE ANIMAL TESTS WITH NON-ANIMAL METHODS. ANIMALS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY A PETA EYEWITNESS CAPTURED VIDEO FOOTAGE SHOWING THAT THE OWNER AND DIRECTOR OF THE BOWMANVILLE ZOO, MICHAEL HACKENBERGER, VICIOUSLY WHIPPED A TIGER UP TO 19 TIMES ON HIS FACE, BODY, AND LEGS WHILE HE LAY COWERING ON HIS BACK. THE BEATING WAS SO SEVERE THAT HE EMPTIED HIS ANAL SACS OUT OF FEAR. PETA TURNED OVER ITS EVIDENCE TO THE ONTARIO SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, WHICH HAS CHARGED HACKENBERGER WITH FIVE COUNTS OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A JAIL SENTENCE AND A LIFETIME BAN ON OWNING OR WORKING WITH ANIMALS. SOON AFTERWARD, THE ZOO ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD CLOSE ITS DOORS AFTER NEARLY 100 YEARS IN BUSINESS AND BLAMED PETAS EXPOS FOR THE DROP IN ATTENDANCE OVER THE PAST YEAR. PETA ALSO RESCUED DOZENS OF ANIMALS FROM OTHER ROADSIDE ZOOS, INCLUDING A BEAR NAMED SWEET BABY, WHO WAS EMACIATED AND HOUSED INSIDE A TINY CAGE IN A BARN, AND TOOTIE, A CHIMPANZEE WHO HAD SPENT THE PREVIOUS 20 YEARS OF HIS LIFE IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. IN RESPONSE TO PETAS 2013 INVESTIGATION OF HORSE-RACING TRAINER STEVE ASMUSSEN, WHICH EXPOSED THE CHRONIC OVERUSE OF MEDICATIONS TO KEEP SORE AND INJURED HORSES RACING, THE NEW YORK STATE GAMING COMMISSION CONFIRMED MUCH OF WHAT PETA HAD DOCUMENTED AND FINED HIM 10,000. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE COMMISSION IS PROPOSING NEW REGULATIONS TO PREVENT SUCH ABUSES BY STATE TRAINERS AND VETERINARIANS, AND A DIALOG HAS BEEN OPENED BETWEEN PETA, RACING ORGANIZATIONS, AND TRACK OWNERS REGARDING MEASURES TO IMPROVE HORSES LIVES. PETA ALSO RESCUED ABUSED THOROUGHBRED CHARLIES QUEST AND RETIRED HIM TO A FARM OPERATED BY A PETA SUPPORTER. WHILE HE CONTINUES TO BE EVALUATED AND TREATED FOR THE MANY SERIOUS, CHRONIC INJURIES HES SUSTAINED THROUGH THE YEARS, HIS RACING DAYS ARE THANKFULLY OVER. COMPANION-ANIMAL ISSUES A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND PETA EXPOS REVEALED SEVERE CROWDING, NEGLECT, AND A MASSIVE DEATH TOLL AT BRELEAN CORPORATION, A SUPPLIER OF HERMIT CRABS TO PETSMART, PETCO, AND BEACH SOUVENIR SHOPS. PETAS EYEWITNESS FOUND THAT WILD-CAUGHT HERMIT CRABS WERE DUMPED INTO PENS, BEFORE WORKERS CRACKED OPEN THEIR SHELLS WITH A MANUAL LEVER PRESS TO FORCE THEM INTO PAINTED SHELLS. HERMIT CRABS CAN LIVE FOR DECADES IN THEIR SEASHORE HOMES, BUT AT BRELEAN, HUNDREDS WERE FOUND DEAD EVERY DAY. WITHIN DAYS OF THE RELEASE, PETSMART STATED THAT ITS SUPPLIER HAD ENDED ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH BRELEAN. PETA ALSO INVESTIGATED AND EXPOSED THE ABUSIVE AND FILTHY CONDITIONS THAT ANIMALS WERE MADE TO ENDURE AT REPTILES BY MACK AND HOLMES FARM, TWO MASSIVE ANIMAL MILLS THAT SUPPLY PETSMART AND OTHER BIG-BOX PET STORE CHAINS NATIONWIDE. BECAUSE OF PETAS EFFORTS, LARRY, A 5-YEAR-OLD SHIH TZU WHO WAS FILTHY, MATTED, SEVERELY WEAKENED BY ANEMIA, MALNOURISHED, AND SUFFERING FROM EAR AND URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS, AND NERO, AN EMACIATED PUG-BEAGLE MIX FORCED TO LIVE IN A MUD PIT WITH A HEAVY CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK, WERE RESCUED AND ADOPTED INTO NEW LOVING HOMES. IN ADDITION, A NORTH CAROLINA MAN WHO ALLEGEDLY STARVED HIS DOG NIGHT TRAIN TO DEATH, LEAVING THE BODY STILL CHAINED INSIDE A BARREL USED FOR SHELTER, WAS CHARGED WITH CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. PETA WAS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING CONVICTIONS FOR A NUMBER OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS AROUND THE NATION WHO ABUSED OR NEGLECTED ANIMALS. PETAS COMMUNITY ANIMAL PROJECT, WHICH OFFERS ANIMALS IN THE HAMPTON ROADS AREA OF VIRGINIA HANDS-ON CARE, RESPONDED TO MORE THAN 2,300 CALLS FOR ASSISTANCE AND HELPED MORE THAN 2,500 ANIMALS. IT ALSO BUILT AND DELIVERED MORE THAN 300 FREE DOGHOUSESBRINGING THE TOTAL NUMBER DISTRIBUTED SINCE THE PROGRAM STARTED TO MORE THAN 6,500AND BAGGED 1,675 BALES OF STRAW, PROVIDING DOGS FORCED TO LIVE OUTDOORS WITH WARM, DRY SHELTER. PETAS MOBILE CLINICS DIVISION SPAYED AND NEUTERED 13,174 CATS AND DOGSINCLUDING 542 FERAL CATS AND 1,158 PIT BULLSIN SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA AND NORTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, AT A DISCOUNTED RATE OR FREE OF CHARGE. IN ORDER TO HELP EVEN MORE ANIMALS, PETA ADDED A FOURTH STATE-OF-THE ART CLINIC TO THE FLEET AS WELL AS A THIRD FULL-TIME VETERINARIAN AND EXPANDED THE AREA THAT THE CLINICS SERVE. FINALLY, PETA SUPPORTED OUTREACH AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA; TEAMED UP WITH A NEWPORT NEWS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FOOD DRIVE TO OFFER FREE SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES; PARTNERED WITH TWO VIRGINIA SHELTERS TO PROVIDE FREE MONTHLY CLINICS; AND HELD TWO VERY SUCCESSFUL MULTI-SHELTER DOG ADOPT-A-THONS. AND AFTER WAVERLY, A SMALL TOWN IN VIRGINIA, WAS DEVASTATED BY A TORNADO, PETA SENT A FIELDWORK CREW OUT TO DELIVER SOME MUCH-NEEDED ANIMAL SUPPLIES. THE TOWN EXPRESSED ITS GRATITUDE BY PRESENTING THE ORGANIZATION WITH A CERTIFICATE OF APPREC

FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A IN FISCAL YEAR 2016, PETA SECURED FREE ADVERTISING SPACE WORTH MORE THAN 1 MILLION AND LOGGED MORE THAN 3,500 INTERACTIONS WITH THE MEDIA VIA LETTERS, TWEETS, AND RADIO, TV, AND PRINT INTERVIEWS. PETAS VARIOUS WEBSITES ALSO RECEIVED MORE THAN 113 MILLION VISITS.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B YOUTH DIVISION, PETA2, INTERACTED WITH MORE THAN 250,000 YOUNG PEOPLE AT COLLEGES, MUSIC FESTIVALS, AND OTHER EVENTS. THE GROUP VISITED MORE THAN 45 TOP COLLEGE CAMPUSES WITH ITS THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY EXHIBIT, WHICH COMPARES THE DEVASTATING ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE OF MEAT PRODUCTION TO THE SIGNIFICANTLY LIGHTER FOOTPRINT OF VEGAN MEALS. ANIMALS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY INFLUENCED BY PETAS CONTINUING EFFORTS TO END DEHORNING (THE CUTTING OR SEARING OFF OF CALVES HORNS WITH NO PAIN RELIEF) IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY, COMPANIES INCLUDING HARRIS TEETER, LIFEWAY FOODS, SPROUTS FARMERS MARKET, PEPSICO, CHOBANI, ALDI, AND DEAN FOODS HAVE STATED THEIR SUPPORT OF AND PURCHASING PREFERENCE FOR POLLED, OR NATURALLY HORNLESS, CATTLE, PAVING THE WAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF THE PAINFUL PROCEDURE. PETA ALSO PERSUADED BOSTON-BASED TASTY BURGER TO PULL ALL REFERENCES TO CERTIFIED HUMANE MEAT FROM ITS WEBSITE, MENU, AND SIGNAGE, AND WE HELPED INFLUENCE PIE FIVE PIZZA TO ADD VEGAN CHEESE TO THE MENUS OF ITS 87 LOCATIONS. IN ADDITION, WE HELPED BEN & JERRYS LAUNCH FOUR FLAVORS OF VEGAN ICE CREAM AND ENCOURAGED DIPPIN DOTS TO INTRODUCE SEVERAL VEGAN PRODUCTS. ANIMALS IN THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY PETA PERSUADED 14 RETAILERS, INCLUDING URBN (THE PARENT COMPANY OF URBAN OUTFITTERS AND ANTHROPOLOGIE), GUESS, RALPH LAUREN, AND ZUMIEZ, TO JOIN THE LIST OF MORE THAN 110 COMPANIES THAT HAVE BANNED ANGORA, AS ITS PRODUCTION INVOLVES PAINFULLY RIPPING OUT LIVE RABBITS FUR. WE CONFIRMED THAT POTTERY BARN AND WEST ELM NOW OFFER A SYNTHETIC OPTION FOR EVERY DOWN-FILLED ITEM THEY SELL, IN ADDITION TO PROMPTING THE SULLIVAN FAMILY OF COMPANIES (WHICH RUNS MORE THAN 100 GIFT SHOPS IN FOUR SEASONS AND OTHER LUXURY HOTELS), SPORT CHALET, AND SHOE CARNIVAL TO BAN FUR. AFTER SPEAKING WITH PETA, BEBE AND NINE WEST BANNED ALL EXOTIC SKINS, AND UBER REMOVED THE LEATHER REQUIREMENT FOR UBERBLACK VEHICLE INTERIORS. ANIMALS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY FOLLOWING YEARS OF RELENTLESS PRESSURE FROM PETA, SEAWORLD AGREED TO END ITS ORCA-BREEDING PROGRAM, ENSURING THAT NO ADDITIONAL ORCAS WILL BE HELD CAPTIVE IN ITS TANKS, AND THE NATIONAL AQUARIUM ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL TRANSFER THE DOLPHINS THERE TO A SEASIDE SANCTUARY, PARTIALLY FUNDED BY PETA, BY 2020. AFTER LAUNCHING A LETTER CAMPAIGN, BILLBOARDS, ADS, AND PROTESTS IN BEHALF OF THE 29 ORCAS AND COUNTLESS OTHER ANIMALS STILL IMPRISONED AT SEAWORLD, PETA LED A NEWS CONFERENCE DURING WHICH A PANEL OF EXPERTS ANNOUNCED THE FORMATION OF THE WHALE SANCTUARY PROJECT, WHOSE MISSION IS TO DEVELOP, DESIGN, AND ESTABLISH A PROTECTED COASTAL LOCATION WHERE CETACEANS (PORPOISES, DOLPHINS AND WHALES) CAN BE REHABILITATED OR CAN LIVE PERMANENTLY. AFTER DECADES OF PETA CAMPAIGNS AND PROTESTS, RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS RETIRED ELEPHANTS FROM ITS CIRCUS ACTS, AND AFTER HEARING FROM PETA, NUMEROUS MALLS AND PROPERTY-MANAGEMENT COMPANIES VOWED NOT TO HOST CIRCUSES THAT USE ANIMALS. FURTHERMORE, THE CITIES OF NORFOLK AND WINCHESTER IN VIRGINIA REFUSED TO LET GARDEN BROS. CIRCUS PERFORM AS LONG AS ELEPHANTS WERE PART OF THE ACTS. ADDITIONALLY, NEARLY A DOZEN TRAVEL AGENCIES AND TOUR COMPANIES AGREED TO STOP OFFERING CAPTIVE-ELEPHANT ENCOUNTERS, INCLUDING RIDES AND SHOWS. PETA ALSO GOT NUMEROUS CRUEL EVENTS CANCELED, INCLUDING ELEPHANT RIDES AT A FLEA MARKET, A TIGER CUB EXHIBIT, A PHOTO OP WITH A LIVE ALLIGATOR AT THE BOWERY HOTEL IN NEW YORK, A PIG-WRESTLING CONTEST, BUTTERFLY AND BALLOON RELEASES, AND A FESTIVAL IN MEXICO AT WHICH DUCKS HEADS ARE TORN OFF AND OPOSSUMS AND IGUANAS ARE STUFFED INTO PIATAS AND BEATEN AND TRAMPLED TO DEATH.

ALTHOUGH THE FACILITY IS EXPECTED TO MEET HIGHER WELFARE STANDARDS THAN MOST OF THE PIG-MEAT FARMS THAT SUPPLY WHOLE FOODS, PETA FOUND THAT ANIMALS LIVED IN FACTORY FARMLIKE CONDITIONS WITH 5 SQUARE FEET OF SPACE EACH, AND MORE THAN 20 PIGS WERE PACKED INTO A METAL TRAILER MORE THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE THEY WERE HAULED TO SLAUGHTER AS THE HEAT INDEX EXCEEDED 90 DEGREES. PETA USED THE CASE TO CALL ON WHOLE FOODS TO END ITS MISLEADING CLAIMS THAT ANIMALS KILLED FOR THEIR STORES ARE TREATED HUMANELY. ADDITIONALLY, BECAUSE OF EFFORTS BY PETA AND OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, IDAHOS AG-GAG LAW WAS RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL FOR VIOLATING THE FIRST AND 14TH AMENDMENTS TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A COURT HAS DECLARED AN AG-GAG STATUTE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. SUCH LEGISLATION CRIMINALIZES WHISTLEBLOWING INVESTIGATIONS AT FACTORY FARMS AND SPECIFICALLY TARGETS ANIMAL ADVOCATES WHO EXPOSE CRUELTY. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT VICTORY THAT WILL PROTECT CRUCIAL EYEWITNESS INVESTIGATIONS, WHICH REVEAL BLATANT, OFTEN ILLEGAL ANIMAL ABUSE ON FACTORY FARMS. ANIMALS IN THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY THE NEW YORK TIMES BROKE PETAS INVESTIGATION OF THE COMMERCIAL OSTRICH INDUSTRY IN SOUTH AFRICA, WHICH KILLS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YOUNG OSTRICHES EACH YEAR FOR THEIR SKIN, FEATHERS, AND MEAT, SUPPLYING SKINS TO HERMS, PRADA, LOUIS VUITTON, AND OTHER TOP EUROPEAN FASHION HOUSES. PETAS EXPOS REVEALED THAT YOUNG BIRDS ARE IMPRISONED ON BARREN DIRT FEEDLOTS AND THAT SOME OF THEIR FEATHERS ARE PAINFULLY PLUCKED, INCLUDING THE DAY BEFORE SLAUGHTER. AT THE SLAUGHTERHOUSES, WORKERS YANKED TERRIFIED OSTRICHES INTO STUN BOXES, ELECTRICALLY STUNNED THEM, TURNED THEM UPSIDE DOWN, AND SLIT THEIR THROATS. THE BIRDS NEXT IN LINE WATCHED HELPLESSLY AS THEIR FLOCK MATES WERE KILLED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. AS A RESULT OF THE EXPOS, GLOBAL BRANDS GROUP BANNED OSTRICH-DERIVED MATERIALS FROM ITS CONTROLLED BRANDS, WHICH INCLUDE JUICY COUTURE, FRYE, JONES NEW YORK, JENNIFER LOPEZ, AND DAVID BECKHAM, AMONG MANY OTHERS. ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION INDUSTRY AS A RESULT OF PETAS EFFORTS, CANADA WILL NO LONGER TEST PESTICIDES ON DOGS, WHILE INDIA IS REDUCING THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS USED IN PESTICIDE TESTING, HAS STOPPED REQUIRING THAT DRUGS BE RETESTED ON ANIMALS IF THEYVE ALREADY BEEN TESTED AND APPROVED IN OTHER COUNTRIES, AND HAS APPROVED A NEW NON-ANIMAL METHOD FOR PREDICTING SKIN ALLERGIES. THANKS TO DECADES OF HARD WORK BY PETA, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS WILL BE SPARED ABUSE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE LANDMARK FRANK R. LAUTENBERG CHEMICAL SAFETY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY ACT, WHICH REQUIRES THAT NON-ANIMAL TESTING METHODS BE DEVELOPED, PRIORITIZED, AND USED BEFORE TOXICITY TESTS ON ANIMALS ARE CONSIDERED. PETA INFORMED UNIVERSITIES THAT SANTA CRUZ BIOTECHNOLOGY (SCBT)A BIOTECH FIRM THAT SUPPLIES ANIMAL-DERIVED ANTIBODIES TO LABORATORIES AROUND THE WORLDHAS BEEN REPEATEDLY CITED FOR FAILING TO TREAT SEVERELY ILL OR INJURED GOATS,PREVENTING THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) FROM INSPECTING ANIMALS, AND REPEATEDLY DENYING THE EXISTENCE OF A FACILITY THAT HOUSED MORE THAN 800 GOATS. AS A RESULT, ONE INSTITUTION DROPPED THE CRUEL COMPANY, AND THE USDA ANNOUNCED THAT SCBT MUST PAY A WHOPPING 3.5 MILLION PENALTY (THE LARGEST FINE IN USDA HISTORY) AND STOP USING ANIMALS TO MAKE ANTIBODIES. IN ADDITION, SCIENTISTS FROM THE PETA INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE CONSORTIUM LTD. AND PETAS REGULATORY TESTING DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN BUSY TRAVELING TO MEETINGS, ATTENDING CONFERENCES, HOLDING SEMINARS, LEADING PROJECTS, AND PUBLISHING ARTICLES TO SHOW THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AS WELL AS INDUSTRY AND REGULATORY AGENCIES HOW TO REPLACE ANIMAL TESTS WITH NON-ANIMAL METHODS. ANIMALS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY A PETA EYEWITNESS CAPTURED VIDEO FOOTAGE SHOWING THAT THE OWNER AND DIRECTOR OF THE BOWMANVILLE ZOO, MICHAEL HACKENBERGER, VICIOUSLY WHIPPED A TIGER UP TO 19 TIMES ON HIS FACE, BODY, AND LEGS WHILE HE LAY COWERING ON HIS BACK. THE BEATING WAS SO SEVERE THAT HE EMPTIED HIS ANAL SACS OUT OF FEAR. PETA TURNED OVER ITS EVIDENCE TO THE ONTARIO SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, WHICH HAS CHARGED HACKENBERGER WITH FIVE COUNTS OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A JAIL SENTENCE AND A LIFETIME BAN ON OWNING OR WORKING WITH ANIMALS. SOON AFTERWARD, THE ZOO ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD CLOSE ITS DOORS AFTER NEARLY 100 YEARS IN BUSINESS AND BLAMED PETAS EXPOS FOR THE DROP IN ATTENDANCE OVER THE PAST YEAR. PETA ALSO RESCUED DOZENS OF ANIMALS FROM OTHER ROADSIDE ZOOS, INCLUDING A BEAR NAMED SWEET BABY, WHO WAS EMACIATED AND HOUSED INSIDE A TINY CAGE IN A BARN, AND TOOTIE, A CHIMPANZEE WHO HAD SPENT THE PREVIOUS 20 YEARS OF HIS LIFE IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. IN RESPONSE TO PETAS 2013 INVESTIGATION OF HORSE-RACING TRAINER STEVE ASMUSSEN, WHICH EXPOSED THE CHRONIC OVERUSE OF MEDICATIONS TO KEEP SORE AND INJURED HORSES RACING, THE NEW YORK STATE GAMING COMMISSION CONFIRMED MUCH OF WHAT PETA HAD DOCUMENTED AND FINED HIM 10,000. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE COMMISSION IS PROPOSING NEW REGULATIONS TO PREVENT SUCH ABUSES BY STATE TRAINERS AND VETERINARIANS, AND A DIALOG HAS BEEN OPENED BETWEEN PETA, RACING ORGANIZATIONS, AND TRACK OWNERS REGARDING MEASURES TO IMPROVE HORSES LIVES. PETA ALSO RESCUED ABUSED THOROUGHBRED CHARLIES QUEST AND RETIRED HIM TO A FARM OPERATED BY A PETA SUPPORTER. WHILE HE CONTINUES TO BE EVALUATED AND TREATED FOR THE MANY SERIOUS, CHRONIC INJURIES HES SUSTAINED THROUGH THE YEARS, HIS RACING DAYS ARE THANKFULLY OVER. COMPANION-ANIMAL ISSUES A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND PETA EXPOS REVEALED SEVERE CROWDING, NEGLECT, AND A MASSIVE DEATH TOLL AT BRELEAN CORPORATION, A SUPPLIER OF HERMIT CRABS TO PETSMART, PETCO, AND BEACH SOUVENIR SHOPS. PETAS EYEWITNESS FOUND THAT WILD-CAUGHT HERMIT CRABS WERE DUMPED INTO PENS, BEFORE WORKERS CRACKED OPEN THEIR SHELLS WITH A MANUAL LEVER PRESS TO FORCE THEM INTO PAINTED SHELLS. HERMIT CRABS CAN LIVE FOR DECADES IN THEIR SEASHORE HOMES, BUT AT BRELEAN, HUNDREDS WERE FOUND DEAD EVERY DAY. WITHIN DAYS OF THE RELEASE, PETSMART STATED THAT ITS SUPPLIER HAD ENDED ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH BRELEAN. PETA ALSO INVESTIGATED AND EXPOSED THE ABUSIVE AND FILTHY CONDITIONS THAT ANIMALS WERE MADE TO ENDURE AT REPTILES BY MACK AND HOLMES FARM, TWO MASSIVE ANIMAL MILLS THAT SUPPLY PETSMART AND OTHER BIG-BOX PET STORE CHAINS NATIONWIDE. BECAUSE OF PETAS EFFORTS, LARRY, A 5-YEAR-OLD SHIH TZU WHO WAS FILTHY, MATTED, SEVERELY WEAKENED BY ANEMIA, MALNOURISHED, AND SUFFERING FROM EAR AND URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS, AND NERO, AN EMACIATED PUG-BEAGLE MIX FORCED TO LIVE IN A MUD PIT WITH A HEAVY CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK, WERE RESCUED AND ADOPTED INTO NEW LOVING HOMES. IN ADDITION, A NORTH CAROLINA MAN WHO ALLEGEDLY STARVED HIS DOG NIGHT TRAIN TO DEATH, LEAVING THE BODY STILL CHAINED INSIDE A BARREL USED FOR SHELTER, WAS CHARGED WITH CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. PETA WAS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING CONVICTIONS FOR A NUMBER OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS AROUND THE NATION WHO ABUSED OR NEGLECTED ANIMALS. PETAS COMMUNITY ANIMAL PROJECT, WHICH OFFERS ANIMALS IN THE HAMPTON ROADS AREA OF VIRGINIA HANDS-ON CARE, RESPONDED TO MORE THAN 2,300 CALLS FOR ASSISTANCE AND HELPED MORE THAN 2,500 ANIMALS. IT ALSO BUILT AND DELIVERED MORE THAN 300 FREE DOGHOUSESBRINGING THE TOTAL NUMBER DISTRIBUTED SINCE THE PROGRAM STARTED TO MORE THAN 6,500AND BAGGED 1,675 BALES OF STRAW, PROVIDING DOGS FORCED TO LIVE OUTDOORS WITH WARM, DRY SHELTER.

IN ORDER TO HELP EVEN MORE ANIMALS, PETA ADDED A FOURTH STATE-OF-THE ART CLINIC TO THE FLEET AS WELL AS A THIRD FULL-TIME VETERINARIAN AND EXPANDED THE AREA THAT THE CLINICS SERVE. FINALLY, PETA SUPPORTED OUTREACH AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA; TEAMED UP WITH A NEWPORT NEWS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FOOD DRIVE TO OFFER FREE SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES; PARTNERED WITH TWO VIRGINIA SHELTERS TO PROVIDE FREE MONTHLY CLINICS; AND HELD TWO VERY SUCCESSFUL MULTI-SHELTER DOG ADOPT-A-THONS. AND AFTER WAVERLY, A SMALL TOWN IN VIRGINIA, WAS DEVASTATED BY A TORNADO, PETA SENT A FIELDWORK CREW OUT TO DELIVER SOME MUCH-NEEDED ANIMAL SUPPLIES. THE TOWN EXPRESSED ITS GRATITUDE BY PRESENTING THE ORGANIZATION WITH A CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION SIGNED BY THE MAYOR.
