990 PART III LN 4A	PETA CALLED SHOPPERS AND LAW-ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES' ATTENTION TO THE ILLEGAL SUFFERING OF A DOWNED COW WHO WAS REPEATEDLY ELECTROSHOCKED AND STRUCK IN IDAHO AS WELL AS THE LATEST INCIDENT INVOLVING A COW WHO WAS FOUND CONSCIOUS WHILE HANGING UPSIDE DOWN ON A SOUTH DAKOTA KILL FLOOR. PETA EXPOSED EGREGIOUS SUFFERING IN NORTH DAKOTA, WHERE A COW WAS HOISTED UPSIDE DOWN AND CRYING OUT AS A WORKER SLASHED HER THROAT AND LEFT HER TO SLOWLY BLEED TO DEATH. PETA HIGHLIGHTED THE PROLONGED DEATHS OF CATTLE IN SLAUGHTERHOUSES IN MAINE AND MISSOURI. MEAT INDUSTRY WORKERS SPRAYED COWS WITH SCALDING-HOT WATER IN FLORIDA, BEAT PIGS IN MICHIGAN, AND FATALLY DENIED PIGS FOOD AND WATER FOR MORE THAN 35 HOURS WHILE HAULING THEM THROUGH EXTREME TEMPERATURES IN IDAHO. PETA REVEALED THAT A NEW JERSEY MAN LIFTED A CROWBAR ABOVE HIS HEAD AND STRUCK A LAMB SO HARD THAT A FEDERAL INSPECTOR COULD HEAR THE IMPACT OF THE STRIKE. PROSECUTORS ARE INVESTIGATING. ANIMALS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY PETA LAUNCHED AN UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION INTO ATLANTA FILM ANIMALS A COMPANY THAT TRAINS AND PROVIDES ANIMALS FOR THE FILM, TELEVISION, AND ADVERTISING INDUSTRIES WHICH REVEALED THAT WORKERS WAREHOUSED ANIMALS IN COLD, BARREN CAGES; VIRTUALLY STARVED THEM TO MAKE THEM EASIER TO TRAIN; AND DENIED SICK ANIMALS VETERINARY CARE. AFTER THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER BROKE THE STORY, THE USDA AND LOCAL LAW-ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES OPENED INVESTIGATIONS. THE STARZ SERIES BMF AGREED TO STOP USING ALL ANIMALS AND SWITCH TO USING PROPS INSTEAD AFTER A WHISTLEBLOWER COMPLAINED TO PETA THAT A DEAD CHICKEN WAS DECAPITATED ON THE SET AND THAT THE PRODUCTION STILL PLANNED TO USE A DEAD DEER AND FILM A VIOLENT SCENE WITH A HORSE PRESENT. THE VIRGINIA OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND STATE POLICE EXECUTED A SEARCH WARRANT AT NATURAL BRIDGE ZOO, WHICH HAS LONG BEEN THE SUBJECT OF PETA'S COMPLAINTS TO LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL AGENCIES. NEARLY 100 ANIMALS OF 17 SPECIES WERE SEIZED INCLUDING BIRDS, REPTILES, MONKEYS, AND LEMURS AND IN MARCH, A JURY DETERMINED THAT 71 OF THOSE ANIMALS WOULD REMAIN IN THE CUSTODY OF THE GOVERNMENT. PETA INVESTIGATORS RESCUED A FILTHY, MALNOURISHED THOROUGHBRED MARE JUST YARDS AWAY FROM AND MOMENTS BEFORE SHE WAS TO ENTER THE LARGEST HORSE SLAUGHTERHOUSE IN SOUTH KOREA. MY ELUSIVE DREAM WAS BORN IN THE U.S., USED FOR RACING FOR A SHORT TIME, AND THEN USED FOR BREEDING. SHE WAS SOLD TO THE SOUTH KOREAN RACING INDUSTRY, WHICH CONTINUED TO BREED HER UNTIL IT HAD NO FURTHER USE FOR HER. PETA ARRANGED FOR THE MARE TO BE FLOWN BACK HOME TO THE U.S. SHE NOW LIVES ON HUNDREDS OF ACRES ON A FLORIDA FARM WITH OTHER HORSES FORMERLY USED FOR RACING, SOME OF WHOM WERE ALSO RESCUED. PROSECUTORS IN GEORGIA CHARGED SIX JOCKEYS WITH CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AND A BOOKIE WITH FELONY COMMERCIAL GAMBLING BASED ON EVIDENCE GATHERED IN PETA'S GROUNDBREAKING UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION INTO UNREGULATED QUARTER HORSE RACES AT TWO "BUSH TRACKS" IN THAT STATE. PETA'S INVESTIGATORS CAPTURED FOOTAGE OF RAMPANT DOPING OF HORSES, INCLUDING INJECTIONS OF COCAINE, METHAMPHETAMINE, AND RITALIN; JOCKEYS USING ELECTROSHOCK DEVICES AND WHIPPING HORSES RELENTLESSLY; AND GRUESOME AND FATAL INJURIES TO HORSES AND JOCKEYS. CALIFORNIA BECAME THE FIRST STATE IN THE NATION TO BAN ITS LICENSEES FROM ANY INVOLVEMENT IN UNREGULATED QUARTER HORSE RACES. THIS FOLLOWS PETA'S PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE TO THE CALIFORNIA HORSE RACING BOARD, WHICH THEN PASSED THE GROUNDBREAKING REGULATION TO PREVENT JOCKEYS, TRAINERS, AND OWNERS FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR EVEN ATTENDING UNREGULATED RACES. PETA SUBMITTED COMPLAINTS, WITH SUPPORTING EVIDENCE, TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE TEXAS ANIMAL HEALTH COMMISSION ABOUT ISSUES AT UNREGULATED BUSH TRACKS IN THE STATE. THESE AGENCIES THEN CONDUCTED AN UNANNOUNCED INVESTIGATION INTO A BUSH TRACK IN HEREFORD, TEXAS, TO INSPECT ANIMAL DISEASE PAPERWORK, AFTER WHICH THE PARTICIPANTS LEFT AND THE RACES WERE CANCELED. AFTER A COMPLAINT FROM PETA, NEW YORK STATE POLICE ARRESTED A HARNESS RACING TRAINER FOR ALLEGEDLY BEATING A HORSE SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE ANIMAL HAD TO BE EUTHANIZED. THE TRAINER WAS REPORTEDLY ANGRY AT THE HORSE, FINISH LINE, FOR ACCIDENTALLY STEPPING ON HIS FOOT. HE'S BEEN CHARGED WITH INTERFERENCE WITH OR INJURY TO CERTAIN DOMESTIC ANIMALS AND CRIMINAL MISCHIEF IN THE SECOND DEGREE, BOTH FELONIES. A MAN WAS SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS IN PRISON AFTER PLEADING GUILTY TO SETTING FIRE TO A BARN AT THE TIOGA DOWNS HARNESS RACING TRACK IN NEW YORK AND BURNING MORE THAN TWO DOZEN HORSES AND A CAT ALIVE. PETA APPEALED TO THE TIOGA COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO CHARGE THE MAN FOR EACH OF THE ANIMALS KILLED AND NOT JUST WITH A SINGLE COUNT OF ARSON AND ASSAULT. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AGREED AND HANDED DOWN A 105-COUNT INDICTMENT. FOLLOWING A COMPLAINT FROM PETA, THE RULING BODY OF INTERNATIONAL EQUESTRIAN SPORTS ISSUED A RARE YELLOW CARD WARNING TO BRAZILIAN TEAM MEMBER CARLOS PARRO. PETA ALERTED THE OFFICIALS AFTER RECEIVING PHOTOS OF PARRO ON THE OLYMPIC GROUNDS JUST DAYS BEFORE THE COMPETITION PULLING HIS HORSE'S HEAD INTO A PAINFUL, EXAGGERATED POSITION A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS. PETA CONTINUED TO KEEP THESE ONGOING VIOLATIONS AND ABUSE IN THE HEADLINES LEADING UP TO OUR RENEWED CALL FOR THE ELIMINATION OF HORSES, WHO ARE UNWILLING PARTICIPANTS, FROM THE OLYMPIC GAMES. WORKING WITH SCRIPPS NEWS, PETA RELEASED EXCLUSIVE VIDEO FOOTAGE REVEALING HOW VERY YOUNG, INEXPERIENCED THOROUGHBREDS, WHOSE BODIES ARE STILL FRAGILE, ARE FORCED TO SPRINT AT TOP SPEED JUST TO DRIVE UP SALES PRICES AT AUCTION. THE RARE FOOTAGE OF A 2-YEAR-OLD HORSE'S INJURY AND EUTHANASIA ON THE TRACK WAS VIEWED MORE THAN 2 MILLION TIMES ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THE FOUNDER OF THE NATIONAL THOROUGHBRED ALLIANCE, A LEADING RACEHORSE OWNER, VOWED THAT HE WOULD NO LONGER BUY THESE JUVENILE HORSES AT AUCTIONS AND THAT HIS ORGANIZATION WOULD WORK TO END THE DEADLY SPRINTS. OTHER CAMPAIGNS THE NEW YORK POST BROKE PETA'S UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION INTO THE VETERINARIANS' BLOOD BANK, A CRUDE OPERATION THAT PERPETUALLY CONFINES NEARLY 900 DOGS AND CATS AND SELLS THEIR BLOOD TO VETERINARY CLINICS. PETA'S INVESTIGATOR FOUND THAT WORKERS BLED ANIMALS EVERY THREE WEEKS EVEN WHEN THEY WERE ELDERLY, EMACIATED, AND SICK WITH BONE CANCER. A MANAGER OFFERED WORKERS $200 FOR EACH CAT THEY BROUGHT TO THE FACILITY. THIS WORKER AND OTHERS ACQUIRED CATS FROM ONLINE ADS AND FACEBOOK POSTS SEEKING A GOOD HOME FOR THEM. LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATED. AFTER PETA'S UNDERCOVER EXPOS, PEACEFUL PROTESTS, AND E-MAILS FROM MORE THAN 50,000 PETA SUPPORTERS, BLUEPEARL PET HOSPITAL AND VCA ANIMAL HOSPITALS CUT TIES WITH THE BLOOD BANK. PETVET CARE CENTERS WHICH OPERATES MORE THAN 450 VETERINARY CLINICS NATIONWIDE ALSO CUT TIES WITH IT. AFTER THE INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH FAILED TO ACT ON ANY OF THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED BY PETA'S DAMNING INVESTIGATION, PETA SENT PERSONALIZED LETTERS TO ALL 150 MEMBERS OF THE INDIANA STATE LEGISLATURE AND REQUESTED THAT THEY INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO REGULATE THE BLOOD BANKING INDUSTRY. SEVERAL LEGISLATORS WROTE BACK WITH POSITIVE RESPONSES AND ARE CONSIDERING ADDRESSING THE ISSUE DURING THE 2025 LEGISLATIVE SESSION. FOLLOWING PETA'S 2018 INVESTIGATION AND THE HARD-FOUGHT PASSAGE OF A LANDMARK CALIFORNIA BILL TO PHASE OUT THE OPERATION OF BUSINESSES THAT KEEP DOGS PERPETUALLY CAGED FOR THEIR BLOOD, HEMOPETA CAPTIVE-CANINE BLOOD BANK NEAR LOS ANGELES SHUT DOWN. PETA'S UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT ANIMALS AT ISAIAH 11 MINISTRY A SELF-PROCLAIMED "RESCUE" WERE LEFT TO SUFFER FROM SEVERE INFECTIONS, WOUNDS, AND MORE AND THAT DEAD ANIMALS WERE LEFT TO ROT. BASED ON OUR EVIDENCE, LOCAL AUTHORITIES OPENED A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO ITS OWNER. PETA STAFF TRAVELED TO INDIANA TO HELP THE KOSCIUSKO COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE REMOVE ALL ANIMALS FROM THE FACILITY, AND PETA SECURED PLACEMENT AT REPUTABLE SANCTUARIES FOR VARIOUS FARMED ANIMALS. PETA IS PUSHING THE COUNTY PROSECUTOR TO ENSURE THAT THIS HOARDER IS BARRED FROM POSSESSING ANY ANIMALS. AFTER PETA'S 2019 INVESTIGATION INTO THE WORLD'S LARGEST PRIVATELY OWNED ALPACA FARM REVEALED THAT ANIMALS WERE CUT UP AND LEFT WITH BLOODY WOUNDS, WHICH WERE SEWN UP WITHOUT ADEQUATE PAIN RELIEF AMONG OTHER VIOLENT ACTS OF ABUSE PERUVIAN AUTHORITIES CHARGED FIVE SHEARERS WITH CRUELTY TO DOMESTIC ANIMALS, A HISTORIC FIRST IN THE ALPACA INDUSTRY. PETA EXPOSED AMERICAN OSTRICH FARMS, WHERE A WHISTLEBLOWER REPORTED THAT BIRDS WERE BEATEN AND FROZE TO DEATH IN THE MUDDY PENS WHERE OSTRICHES ARE CONFINED DURING THE HARSH IDAHO WINTER. LOCAL GROCERS THAT HAD SOLD THE BIRDS' FLESH QUICKLY DISTANCED THEMSELVES FROM THE FARM. PETA LATER CONNECTED SEVERAL WHISTLEBLOWERS WITH REPORTERS TO FURTHER EXPOSE THE SYSTEMIC CRUELTY TO BIRDS THEY WITNESSED AT THIS FACILITY.
990 PART III LN 4A	AFTER PETA MET WITH A PROSECUTOR IN TAIWAN ABOUT THE CRUELTY OF OVER-OCEAN PIGEON RACES THERE, THE OFFICIAL LED A RAID OF A PIGEON-RACING CLUB FOR SUSPECTED ILLEGAL GAMBLING AND CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, SEIZING CASH, COMPUTERS, AND OTHER EQUIPMENT AND RESCUING 734 PIGEONS WHO HAD BEEN LOADED INTO CRATES FOR A DEADLY OVER-OCEAN RACE. AFTER PETA PROVIDED DETAILED DATA ABOUT THE EXTREMELY LOW NUMBER OF BIRDS WHO SURVIVED THE SPRING PIGEON RACES, THE PROSECUTOR LED ANOTHER TASK FORCE THAT BUSTED A PIGEON CLUB ON THE EVE OF THE START OF THE SUMMER RACES. THEY ARRESTED SEVEN PEOPLE AND SEIZED COMPUTERS, BANK ACCOUNTS, AND GAMBLING PARAPHERNALIA IN THE SECOND SUCH RAID IN A YEAR.
990 PART III LN 4C	AS MANY AS 18 SHEEP EACH YEAR IN ALBANIA WILL NO LONGER BE CUT APART AND KILLED IN MEDICAL TRAINING COURSES, THANKS TO PETA'S DONATION OF TWO STATE-OF-THE-ART TRAUMAMAN SURGICAL SIMULATORS TO ALBANIA'S ADVANCED TRAUMA LIFE SUPPORT (ATLS) NATIONAL PROGRAM. THIS BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF COUNTRIES THAT HAVE ENDED THE CRUDE USE OF LIVE DOGS, PIGS, GOATS, AND SHEEP FOR ATLS MEDICAL TRAINING TO 23, FOLLOWING PETA'S DONATIONS OF 124 TRAUMAMAN SIMULATORS, WORTH MORE THAN $3 MILLION, SINCE 2012. CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES' PLAN TO BUILD A PROPOSED MONKEY FACILITY ON ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LAND IN BRAZORIA, TEXAS, WAS CANCELED AFTER A CAMPAIGN BY PETA AND HUNDREDS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS WHO OBJECTED TO THE FACILITY. CHARLES RIVER, A MAJOR CONTRACT RESEARCH ORGANIZATION, FACES INVESTIGATIONS BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES INTO ALLEGED ILLEGAL SMUGGLING OF LONG-TAILED MACAQUES, AN ENDANGERED SPECIES, FROM ASIA TO SELL TO U.S. RESEARCH LABORATORIES. FOLLOWING PRESSURE FROM PETA, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SOUTHWESTERN MEDICAL CENTER ENDED THE USE OF LIVE ANIMALS FOR INVASIVE MEDICAL PROCEDURES IN ITS OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY PHYSICIAN RESIDENCY TRAINING PROGRAM. AFTER PETA ALERTED LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO THE HORRIFIC DEATHS OF 47 MONKEYS AT FUNDACIN INSTITUTO DE INMUNOLOGA DE COLOMBIA, A MONKEY TORTURE FACILITY, THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE LABORATORY. EVIDENCE GATHERED BY PETA SHOWS THAT MONKEYS WERE DENIED VETERINARY CARE AND CHOKED TO DEATH OR DIED FROM HEART ATTACKS, SEPSIS, TETANUS, HEATSTROKE, HYPOTHERMIA, AND OTHER CONDITIONS. AFTER PETA EXPOSED A SOUTH AMERICAN RESEARCH GROUP'S MISTREATMENT OF MONKEYS AND GOT THE FACILITY SHUT DOWN, A COLOMBIAN ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCY FOUND MALARIA EXPERIMENTERS AND OWNERS OF THE NIH-FUNDED CAUCASECO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH CENTER AND MALARIA VACCINE AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER RESPONSIBLE FOR LACKING THE REQUIRED PERMITS TO CAPTURE, CONFINE, AND EXPERIMENT ON MONKEYS. EXPERIMENTERS SOCRATES HERRERA AND MYRIAM AREVALO WERE FINED MORE THAN $281,000. THE RULING ALSO ESTABLISHED THAT "ANIMAL MISTREATMENT" HAD BEEN COMMITTED, AND THE AGENCY HAS FULL CUSTODY OF THE MONKEYS WHO WERE RESCUED FROM HERRERA'S AND AREVALO'S PRIMATE FACILITY (FUNDACION CENTRO DE PRIMATES) IN FEBRUARY 2023. SINCE ANIMAL MISTREATMENT IS A CRIME WHOSE INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION ARE NOT WITHIN THE AGENCY'S JURISDICTION, PETA EXPECTS THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF COLOMBIA TO FILE CRIMINAL CHARGES. AFTER PETA SHARED WITH UNIVERSIDAD DEL VALLE (UNIVALLE) OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE OF THE SCIENTIFIC INVALIDITY AND CRUELTY OF THE FORCED SWIM TEST IN WHICH RATS, MICE, OR OTHER SMALL ANIMALS ARE DROPPED INTO INESCAPABLE BEAKERS FILLED WITH WATER AND FORCED TO SWIM FOR THEIR LIVES UNIVALLE DECIDED TO BAN THE EXPERIMENT. UNIVALLE, THE MOST IMPORTANT RESEARCH INSTITUTION IN SOUTHWEST COLOMBIA, IS AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHER UNIVERSITIES IN LATIN AMERICA TO FOLLOW. IT IS NOW ILLEGAL TO CONDUCT NEW FORCED SWIM TESTS ON ANIMALS IN NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA. THIS ACTION FOLLOWS PETA'S WORK WITH LOCAL ACTIVIST GROUPS AND EXPERTISE OUR SCIENTISTS PROVIDED TO OFFICIALS. ANIMALS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY A COALITION OF ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING PETA, FILED A FEDERAL LAWSUIT SUCCESSFULLY CHALLENGING NORTH CAROLINA'S "AG-GAG" LAW, WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO STIFLE AND PUNISH THE FREE SPEECH OF WHISTLEBLOWERS WHO TRY TO INVESTIGATE AGRICULTURAL BUSINESSES IN THE STATE. BECAUSE THE COURTS AGREED THAT THE COALITION HAD PROVED THAT THE LAW COULD NOT BE CONSTITUTIONALLY APPLIED TO THEIR INVESTIGATIVE AND NEWSGATHERING ACTIVITY, THE COALITION WAS ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT OF THE FEES INCURRED TO SUCCESSFULLY PROSECUTE THE CLAIM. IN MAY 2024, THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA AWARDED THE COALITION OF PLAINTIFFS $884,987 FOR LEGAL FEES. FOLLOWING PRESSURE FROM PETA, ALASKA AIRLINES, DELTA AIR LINES, JETBLUE AIRWAYS, AND UNITED AIRLINES CONFIRMED THAT THEY'VE ADDED A VEGAN CREAMER TO FLIGHTS. AFTER PETA PUSHED OSCAR MAYER TO INTRODUCE VEGAN HOT DOGS FOR YEARS, INCLUDING BY PURCHASING STOCK AND ASKING QUESTIONS IN SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS, HAVING ACTIVISTS IN PIG COSTUMES FOLLOW WIENERMOBILES AROUND, AND PUTTING OUT AN ACTION ALERT, E-MAIL ALERTS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THAT CONVINCED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PETA SUPPORTERS TO CONTACT THE COMPANY, THE BRAND RELEASED VEGAN HOT DOGS AND SAUSAGES IN 2024. DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, PANDA EXPRESS IS DOING ANOTHER TEST RUN OF BEYOND THE ORIGINAL ORANGE CHICKEN IN RESTAURANTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. PETA ENCOURAGED THE CHAIN TO DO SO VIA ACTION ALERTS, DEMOS, AND GIVEAWAYS. FOLLOWING DISCUSSIONS WITH PETA FRANCE AND INTENSE PRESSURE FROM PETA ENTITY SUPPORTERS, GLOBAL SUPERMARKET GIANT CARREFOUR CUT TIES WITH ITS SUPPLIER IN INDONESIA AND IS ENDING ITS SALE OF FROG LEGS FROM THE COUNTRY. PETA LAUNCHED ITS "DON'T TAKE MY CHEESE" SUPER BOWL AD STARRING EDIE FALCO, WHICH PLAYED AHEAD OF THE GAME AND GOT OVER AN ESTIMATED 197,000 IMPRESSIONS ALONG WITH EXTENSIVE MEDIA PICKUP. PETA ALSO RELEASED A COMPANION VIDEO TO THE AD ONLINE WITH EDIE SPEAKING PASSIONATELY ABOUT WHY SHE SPEAKS UP FOR MOTHER COWS. PETA POSTED ITS 2023 TOP FIVE VEGAN-FRIENDLY NFL STADIUMS, TOO. PETA LAUNCHED A NEW TV AD CALLED "SAY CHEESE," POINTING OUT THAT PETA AND GEN ALPHA ARE SAYING "NO" TO THE OLD TRADITION OF SAYING "CHEESE" BEFORE A PHOTO. IT'S GOTTEN NEARLY A MILLION VIEWS ONLINE AND COUNTING. PETA ASKED THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS HOCKEY TEAM TO DITCH ITS DAIRY SPONSORSHIP AHEAD OF NEXT SEASON FOR ANIMALS, THE PLAYERS' HEALTH, AND THE MELTING ICE CAPS. PETA'S "HELL ON WHEELS" PIG AND CHICKEN TRUCKS DROVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. PETA'S POWERFUL VISUALS PAIRED WITH THE SOUNDS OF ACTUAL SLAUGHTERHOUSE AUDIO CAPTURED HEADLINES AND ENGAGED THOUSANDS OF SPECTATORS. AFTER A CHICKEN TRANSPORT TRUCK CRASHED IN RURAL WESTERN SOUTH CAROLINA, PETA MOBILIZED ADVOCATES TO GO OUT AND SEARCH FOR SURVIVING CHICKENS WHO HAD HIDDEN FROM THE CLEANUP CREWS. SURVIVORS WERE TAKEN TO A SANCTUARY FOR MEDICAL CARE. PETA DISTRIBUTED THOUSANDS OF COPIES OF ITS NEW "GUIDE TO TRULY SUSTAINABLE EATING" TO COMBAT RAMPANT GREENWASHING, INCLUDING "REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE." THE BOOKLET IS AVAILABLE IN PRINT OR A DOWNLOADABLE DIGITAL VERSION. PETA SENT A FUN, PUN-LADEN PITCH WITH A CEASE-AND-DESIST LETTER FROM ITS ATTORNEYS TO JASON BATEMAN, TELLING HIM TO STOP MISLEADING HIS PODCAST LISTENERS WITH ADS FROM ORGANIC VALLEY. PETA WROTE A LETTER TO WILL ARNETT ABOUT SIMILAR PROMOTIONS FOR HAPPY EGG CO. ON THE PODCAST AND ARE WORKING ON REGULATORY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE COMPANY'S MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENTS. PETA'S "I'M ME, NOT MEAT" MEMORIAL BILLBOARD WAS PLACED IN OVER A DOZEN CITIES ACROSS THE U.S. AND CANADA TO HELP BRING THE ANIMAL RIGHTS MESSAGE INTO THE OFTEN UNDERREPORTED NEWS STORIES OF CRASHES OF TRUCKS CARRYING ANIMALS USED FOR THEIR FLESH, EGGS, OR MILK. PETA OFFERED A $5,000 REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE ARREST AND CONVICTION OF THE PERSON OR PEOPLE WHO HAD SET THE ROCK ISLAND LIVESTOCK AUCTION BARN IN ILLINOIS ON FIRE WHILE COWS WERE INSIDE. ONE COW DIED IN THE FIRE, ONE ESCAPED, AND ABOUT 25 MORE WERE RELOCATED TO SAFETY. THREE SUSPECTS WERE ARRESTED ON ANIMAL TORTURE CHARGES A FEW DAYS LATER. PETA CALLED FOR A SEX STRIKE AGAINST MEN ON THE HEELS OF A NEW STUDY SHOWING THAT MEN EAT MORE MEAT THAN WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD, THEREFORE CONTRIBUTING MORE TO THE CLIMATE CATASTROPHE. PETA ALSO PUT OUT AN AD THAT SAYS, "DON'T GIVE A F**K. MEAT IS LINKED TO IMPOTENCE AND CLOGS OTHER ARTERIES, TOO." PETA'S "SEA THINGS DIFFERENTLY" OPTICAL ILLUSION AD RAN IN MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, JUST IN TIME FOR THE OPENING OF STONE CRAB SEASON AND THE SOUTH BEACH SEAFOOD FESTIVAL. PETA ALSO HELD A VEGAN SEAFOOD GIVEAWAY NEARBY, WHERE ATTENDEES HAD A CHANCE TO GRAB A PACKET OF GOOD CATCH VEGAN TUNA WHILE THEY CHECKED OUT PETA'S SHIFTING MESSAGE THAT SHOWS A "FISHMONGER ALTERNATELY HOLDING THE CORPSE OF A FISH AND THE CORPSE OF A CAT IN THEIR HANDS. AFTER HASBRO AND MERLIN ENTERTAINMENTS ANNOUNCED PLANS FOR A NEW PEPPA PIG THEME PARK IN DALLAS, PETA URGED THE CORPORATIONS TO MAKE THE UPCOMING PARK FULLY VEGAN. THE APPEAL INSPIRED OVER 17,000 SUPPORTERS TO JOIN THE CAUSE. PETA SECURED 350 VEGAN COOKBOOK DONATIONS FROM PUBLISHERS FOR ITS ANNUAL CONGRESSIONAL VEGGIE DOG LUNCH ON CAPITOL HILL IN WASHINGTON, D.C., SO THAT STAFF COULD PASS OUT BOOKS PROMOTING ETHICAL, HEALTHY, AND DELICIOUS EATING TO THE STAFF AT THE CENTER OF U.S. POLITICS.
990 PART III LN 4C	ASHLEY JACKSON ACTOR, ACTIVIST, AND DAUGHTER OF THE REVEREND JESSE JACKSON JOINED PETA TO LAUNCH OUR NATIONWIDE FOOD JUSTICE CAMPAIGN AT THE HISTORIC METROPOLITAN AME CHURCH IN WASHINGTON, D.C. PETA HANDED OUT ALMOST 200 FREE VEGAN MEALS AND BAGS PACKED WITH FRESH GROCERIES TO ATTENDEES. THE EVENT AND CAMPAIGN CALLING ON GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO STOP PROPPING UP THE MEAT, EGG, AND DAIRY INDUSTRIES WITH TAXPAYERS' MONEY AND INSTEAD, REDIRECT THOSE FUNDS TO SUBSIDIZE INCENTIVES FOR GROCERS IN FOOD DESERTS TO STOCK FRESH VEGETABLES, FRUITS, AND OTHER HEALTHY, HUMANE VEGAN FOODS WAS WIDELY COVERED. ANIMALS IN THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY AFTER RECEIVING INFORMATION FROM PETA ABOUT THE CRUEL WAYS SNAKES, CROCODILES, AND OTHER REPTILES ARE KILLED FOR THEIR SKIN IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY, UPSCALE BRAND TORY BURCH CONFIRMED THAT IT WILL NO LONGER USE REPTILE SKINS. AFTER HEARING FROM PETA THAT GOATS IN THE CASHMERE INDUSTRY SCREAM IN PAIN AND FEAR AS THEY'RE TIED DOWN AND THEIR HAIR IS TORN OUT, VF CORPORATION WHICH OWNS TIMBERLAND, THE NORTH FACE, VANS, DICKIES, SUPREME, JANSPORT, AND OTHER BRANDS CONFIRMED THAT NO NEW PRODUCTS IN DEVELOPMENT CONTAIN CASHMERE. OUTDOOR RETAILER KRIMSON KLOVER MADE THE RESPONSIBLE DECISION TO REPLACE ALL DOWN WITH RECYCLED POLYESTER. AFTER LEARNING FROM PETA ABOUT THE CRUEL WAYS BIRDS ARE RAISED AND KILLED FOR THEIR FEATHERS, FASHION AND ACCESSORIES RETAILER CLAIRE'S PLEDGED THAT IT WILL NO LONGER BUY FEATHERS FOR ITS PRODUCTS. APPLE DROPPED THE USE OF LEATHER IN ALL OF ITS PRODUCTS AFTER A PUSH FROM PETA. PETA WROTE TO GREATERGOOD, A RETAILER AND FUNDRAISER FOR ITS NONPROFIT ARM, REGARDING ITS MISLEADING CLAIMS THAT THE PRODUCTS IT SELLS ARE MADE FROM "100% VERIFIED AND CRUELTY FREE WOOL," "[H]UMANELY GATHERED ALPACA WOOL, AND "CRUELTY-FREE" SILK, WHEN NO SUCH PRODUCTS MEET THESE CRITERIA. AT PETA'S REQUEST, THE COMPANY REMOVED THESE CLAIMS FROM ITS WEBSITE. FOLLOWING MULTIPLE LETTERS FROM PETA AND AN INVESTIGATIVE VIDEO NARRATED BY BRYAN ADAMS, THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES (CAF) CONFIRMED THAT IT WILL TEST FAUX BEAR FUR ECOPEL SHOULD THE NEED FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE BEARSKIN CAPS ARISE. PETA WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES TO REMOVE BEARSKIN CAPS FROM ITS CEREMONIAL UNIFORMS ENTIRELY, BUT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT STEP FORWARD. PETA ENTITIES LAUNCHED THE FIRST-EVER WORLDWIDE VEGAN CAR INTERIORS SURVEY TO HELP CONSCIENTIOUS CONSUMERS LOOKING FOR CRUELTY-FREE AUTOMOBILES. PETA CALLED ON AUDI, LEXUS, NISSAN, AND SUBARU TO OFFER VEGAN CAR INTERIORS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. FOLLOWING MULTIPLE INVESTIGATIONS AND YEARS OF CAMPAIGNING BY PETA ENTITIES INCLUDING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF E-MAILS FROM PETA SUPPORTERS AFRICAN UNION LEADERS HAVE APPROVED A BAN THAT MAKES THE SLAUGHTER OF DONKEYS FOR THEIR SKIN ILLEGAL ACROSS THE ENTIRE CONTINENT FOR THE NEXT 15 YEARS. THE MORATORIUM IS A MAJOR BLOW TO THE CHINESE EJIAO INDUSTRY, WHICH RELIES HEAVILY ON IMPORTS OF DONKEY SKINS FROM AFRICA TO FUEL ITSELF, AND WILL PREVENT MILLIONS OF DONKEYS FROM ENDURING PAINFUL, TERRIFYING DEATHS. DESPITE ATTEMPTS FROM THE CITY'S PUBLIC ART COMMISSION TO PREVENT PETA FROM EXERCISING ITS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, PETA'S "E(N)D SHEARIN'" SHEEP STATUE WAS INSTALLED INSIDE THE CITY HALL ANNEX IN SAN ANGELO, TEXAS A CITY FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE "WOOL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD." THE STATUE'S ARTWORK, DESIGNED BY NEW YORKER CARTOONIST HARRY BLISS, DEPICTS IMAGES OF PROTESTING SHEEP HOLDING SIGNS THAT READ, "I'M SOMEONE, NOT A SWEATER AND "I LOVE MY FAMILY DEEPLY." ANIMALS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY A LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY PETA AND CONCERNED CITIZENS AGAINST NOTORIOUS ROADSIDE OUTFIT WACCATEE ZOO IN SOUTH CAROLINA REACHED A SETTLEMENT ENSURING THE PERMANENT CLOSURE OF THE FACILITY, BANNING THE OPERATORS FROM OWNING OR EXHIBITING "EXOTIC" ANIMALS IN THE FUTURE (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FREE-ROAMING PEACOCKS CURRENTLY ON THE FACILITY PROPERTY), AND IMPOSING STRICT LIMITATIONS ON ITS OWNERSHIP OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. THE SETTLEMENT CAME EXACTLY THREE MONTHS AFTER PETA RESCUED NINE CAPTIVE ANIMALS FROM WACCATEE WHO WERE THEN TRANSFERRED TO THE WILD ANIMAL REFUGE IN COLORADO. PETA IS MAKING EFFORTS TO RESCUE SEVERAL ADDITIONAL ANIMALS AND TRANSFER THEM TO SANCTUARIES BEFORE FORMALLY CONCLUDING THE LAWSUIT. AFTER PETA ALERTED THE USDA TO ITS UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION SHOWING A BEAR COUNTRY U.S.A. SUPERVISOR KICKING CUBS AND WORKERS ADMITTING TO USING FIREWORKS TO SCARE MOTHER BEARS OUT OF THEIR DENS SO THAT THEY COULD SNATCH THE CUBS TO PUT THEM ON DISPLAY, THE AGENCY CITED THE ROADSIDE ZOO FOR CAUSING "TRAUMA, BEHAVIORAL STRESS, PHYSICAL HARM, OR UNNECESSARY DISCOMFORT" TO BEARS. IN ADDITION, THE AGENCY CITED IT FOR ALLOWING LYNX TO REPEATEDLY ESCAPE FROM AN ENCLOSURE. THE U.S. OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION ALSO INVESTIGATED AND ISSUED THE FACILITY A HAZARD ALERT WARNING, FINDING THAT CONDITIONS THERE WERE LIKELY TO CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS PHYSICAL HARM TO EMPLOYEES WHO ENTERED ENCLOSURES TO ABDUCT BABY BEAR CUBS FROM THEIR ANGUISHED MOTHERS. FOLLOWING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM PETA TO VARIOUS FEDERAL AND STATE AUTHORITIES DETAILING EGREGIOUS ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES AND NUMEROUS INJURIES TO CUSTOMERS AT SEAQUEST TRUMBULL IN CONNECTICUT, THE NOTORIOUS SHOPPING MALL PETTING ZOO CLOSED. AFTER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM PETA, SEAQUEST LITTLETON IN COLORADO ALSO CLOSED ITS DOORS AND NEW JERSEY FISH & WILDLIFE SENT SEAQUEST WOODBRIDGE A 32-PAGE NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS LISTING DOZENS OF EXAMPLES OF ANIMALS WHO WERE DISEASED, INJURED, OR MISTREATED. THE AGENCY ORDERED SEAQUEST WOODBRIDGE TO IMMEDIATELY CHANGE ITS PRACTICES, INCLUDING BY CEASING ALL UNAUTHORIZED INTERACTIONS, AND TO PAY A $2,500 PENALTY OR RISK INCURRING SUBSTANTIAL FINES AND LOSING ITS PERMITS AND ANIMALS. IN A RARE MOVE BY THE USDA AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ), "EXOTIC"-ANIMAL DEALER ZACHERY KEELER, OWNER OF EVEN KEEL EXOTICS IN MICHIGAN, WAS STRIPPED OF HIS LICENSE TO EXHIBIT ANIMALS, HAD OVER 140 ANIMALS SEIZED BY THE FEDS, AND AGREED NEVER TO POSSESS ENDANGERED RING-TAILED LEMURS IN THE FUTURE. PETA HAD PREVIOUSLY REPORTED EVEN KEEL EXOTICS FOR ROUGHLY HANDLING A CAPYBARA FOR A NEWS STORY, AND THIS ISSUE WAS INCLUDED AMONG THE ALLEGED VIOLATIONS IN THE DOJ'S CASE. FOLLOWING AN ALERT FROM PETA, THE USDA CITED ROADSIDE ZOO LINVILLA ORCHARDS IN PENNSYLVANIA FOR OVER 15 VIOLATIONS OF THE AWA, INCLUDING FOR FILTHY CONDITIONS AND IMPROPER CARE OF NEARLY 350 BIRDS, AND ISSUED IT AN OFFICIAL WARNING. TIGER KING VILLAIN AND MYRTLE BEACH SAFARI OPERATOR BHAGAVAN "DOC" ANTLE WAS CONVICTED IN VIRGINIA OF TWO COUNTS OF WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING AND TWO COUNTS OF CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING UNDER STATE LAW. THE LONGTIME PETA TARGET WAS ALSO GIVEN A $10,000 FINE, A TWO-YEAR SUSPENDED SENTENCE, FIVE YEARS OF PROBATION, AND A FIVE-YEAR BAN ON WORKING WITH, TRADING, POSSESSING, OR ENGAGING IN OTHER ACTIVITIES WITH NON-NATIVE "EXOTIC" WILDLIFE. THE USDA REVOKED THE LICENSE OF THOMAS EDMONDS, OPERATOR OF THE NOTORIOUS ROADSIDE ZOO WALNUT PRAIRIE WILDSIDE IN ILLINOIS, PERMANENTLY BANNING HIM FROM EXHIBITING ANIMALS REGULATED BY THE AWA, AND FINED HIM $25,100. EDMONDS HAD RACKED UP MORE THAN 65 ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF THE AWA OVER FOUR YEARS, AND MANY OF THE CITATIONS WERE ISSUED AFTER PETA REPEATEDLY ALERTED THE USDA TO ONGOING AND SERIOUS CONCERNS AT HIS FACILITY. FOLLOWING MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR INVESTIGATIONS FROM PETA, THE USDA ISSUED TIGER EXHIBITOR LISA LOPEZ, OPERATOR OF ALL THINGS WILD, A $16,000 CIVIL PENALTY FOR ILLEGALLY EXHIBITING TIGERS WITHOUT A LICENSE AND OFFERING DANGEROUS PUBLIC FEEDING OPPORTUNITIES AT THE ALABAMA AND GEORGIA STATE FAIRS IN 2020. FOLLOWING REPORTS REVEALING THAT ORGAN GRINDER MONKEY EXHIBITORS FEATURED AT THE SANDUSKY COUNTY FAIR IN OHIO HAD RACKED UP NUMEROUS VIOLATIONS OF THE AWA, INCLUDING MULTIPLE INCIDENTS IN WHICH CHILDREN WERE BITTEN BY A MONKEY, PETA SENT A LETTER TO FAIR ORGANIZERS, URGING THEM TO END THE USE OF MONKEYS IN FAIR EXHIBITS. AFTER PETA'S LETTER GOT THE ATTENTION OF LOCAL MEDIA, AN ORGANIZER REPORTEDLY CONFIRMED THAT THE ORGAN GRINDER EXHIBITS WOULD NOT BE INVITED TO RETURN TO ANY FUTURE FAIRS. AFTER LEARNING FROM PETA THAT CAPUCHIN MONKEYS EXPERIENCE FEAR AND ANXIETY WHEN STRAPPED TO DOGS AND FORCED TO RACE AT HIGH SPEEDS IN EXPLOITATIVE EVENTS LIKE THE "BANANA DERBY," AMUSEMENT EVENT COORDINATOR AND AVON, OHIO, SUMMER FESTIVAL HOST KEVAWORKS TOLD US THAT IT "VALUES THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS AND PLEDGED THAT IT WILL NO LONGER BOOK THE NOTORIOUS SPECTACLE AT ANY EVENT IT MANAGES IN THE FUTURE.
990 PART III LN 4C	FOLLOWING A YEARS LONG PETA CAMPAIGN THAT INCLUDED SEVERAL LAWSUITS, CELEBRITY ADS, LETTERS TO COUNTY OFFICIALS, AND NUMEROUS RALLIES, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY ANNOUNCED THAT, DUE TO "NUMEROUS AND SIGNIFICANT VIOLATIONS," THE COUNTY HAD TERMINATED THE MIAMI SEAQUARIUM'S LEASE. THIS WAS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE COUNTY, AT PETA'S URGING, INCORPORATED A PROVISION TO THE LEASE REQUIRING THAT THE FACILITY REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AWA, WHICH IT REPEATEDLY FAILED TO DO. FOUR PARROTS WHO WERE SUFFERING AT THE SEAQUARIUM WERE MOVED TO THE PEACEABLE PRIMATE SANCTUARY IN INDIANA TO RECEIVE PROPER CARE, HEALTHY FOOD, AND APPROPRIATE SOCIAL HOUSING. PETA IS HELPING TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BIRDS' SPACIOUS NEW ENCLOSURES. PETA SENT REQUESTS TO THE USDA AND RIVERSIDE COUNTY OFFICIALS URGING THEM TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION AGAINST WYLD JUNGLE, AN ILLEGAL ROADSIDE ZOO IN CALIFORNIA RUN BY MICHAEL HOLSTONA SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER WITH A HISTORY OF VIOLATING STATE WILDLIFE LAWS. PETA POINTED OUT THAT HOLSTON WAS EXHIBITING "EXOTIC" ANIMALS WITHOUT A FEDERAL LICENSE AND OPERATING IN VIOLATION OF LOCAL COUNTY ZONING LAWS. FOLLOWING THE COMPLAINTS AND MEDIA ATTENTION, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, ISSUED WYLD JUNGLE A CEASE-AND-DESIST ORDER. AFTER PETA NOTIFIED THE USDA THAT AN ELDERLY ELEPHANT NAMED VIOLA ESCAPED FROM JORDAN WORLD CIRCUS WHILE IN BUTTE, MONTANA, FOR A PERFORMANCE, THE AGENCY CITED HER EXHIBITOR, THE NOTORIOUS CARSON & BARNES CIRCUS, FOR NOT PROPERLY SECURING HER AND FAILING TO PROTECT HER FROM POTENTIAL INJURY. VIOLA HAD ESCAPED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE IN 2010 AND 2014. FOLLOWING A PETA CAMPAIGN, HALLMARK, THE WORLD'S LARGEST GREETING CARD COMPANY, HAS STOPPED PRODUCING AND SELLING CARDS FEATURING UNNATURAL AND DEGRADING IMAGES OF YOUNG CHIMPANZEES TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR MOTHERS - DEPICTIONS THAT ARE KNOWN TO HINDER CONSERVATION EFFORTS. THE ACTION COMES AFTER PETA HELD LIVELY DEMONSTRATIONS NEAR THE COMPANY'S HEADQUARTERS, RAN CREATIVE ADS, AND ENLISTED THE HELP OF CELEBRITIES, INCLUDING JUDY GREER, TO WRITE HEARTFELT LETTERS - AND PETA SUPPORTERS SENT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF E-MAILS TO THE CARD COMPANY, WHICH ALSO FACED PRESSURE FROM DRUGSTORES THAT HAD STOPPED SELLING THESE CARDS. HALLMARK WAS THE LAST MAJOR CARD MANUFACTURER STILL SELLING CARDS WITH EXPLOITATIVE IMAGES OF GREAT APES. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, PETA DISRUPTED A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE PREMIERE, TWISTERS, FOR STAGING A RODEO SCENE WITH HORSES AND GLAMORIZING THE BLOOD SPORT. THE PROTEST CAME ONLY AS A LAST RESORT AFTER PETA WROTE TO UNIVERSAL PICTURES, THE FILM'S DIRECTOR, AND ITS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BUT HEARD NOTHING BACK. WITHIN 48 HOURS, VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE DISRUPTION HAD GONE VIRAL, WITH 6.5 MILLION VIEWS AND WIDESPREAD MEDIA COVERAGE. JUST A FEW HOURS AFTER LAUNCH, PETA'S ACTION ALERT URGING THE STUDIO TO STOP EXPLOITING ANIMALS FOR ITS PRODUCTIONS HAD NEARLY 20,000 SUPPORTERS. AFTER PETA RELEASED AN UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION REVEALING THAT ANHEUSER-BUSCH INBEV WAS CUTTING OFF THE TAILBONES OF THE ICONIC BUDWEISER CLYDESDALES AND LAUNCHED AN INTENSE CAMPAIGN, THE COMPANY ANNOUNCED THAT IT WAS ENDING THE CRUEL AMPUTATION PRACTICE, WHICH IT HAD SUBJECTED HORSES TO FOR DECADES. PETA CONTACTED MULTNOMAH COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES ASKING THE AGENCY TO INVESTIGATE THE PORTLAND PICKLES - AN OREGON COLLEGIATE SUMMER BASEBALL TEAM- FOR HOSTING "ANIMAL APPRECIATION NIGHT AND ALLOWING AN ALLIGATOR TO BE DISPLAYED IN APPARENT VIOLATION OF A LOCAL ORDINANCE. IN RESPONSE, THE AGENCY SENT THE BASEBALL TEAM AND NEWPORT DISCOVERY ZOO (THE EXHIBITOR THAT HAD APPARENTLY SUPPLIED THE ALLIGATOR) A LETTER WARNING AGAINST INCLUDING DANGEROUS OR "EXOTIC" ANIMALS AT FUTURE EVENTS. PETA'S PRESENCE IN ALASKA CALLING FOR AN END TO THE IDITAROD COULD NOT BE MISSED AT THE RACE'S MUSHERS BANQUET GALA, THE CEREMONIAL START, AND THE RESTART. AFTER HEARING FROM PETA AND OVER 60,000 OF PETA MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS, AMERICAN PISTACHIO GROWERS DROPPED ITS SPONSORSHIP OF NOTORIOUS IDITAROD MUSHER DALLAS SEAVEY. KRABLOONIK DOGSLEDDING IN COLORADO, ONCE THE LARGEST OPERATION OF ITS KIND IN THE COUNTRY, OFFICIALLY SHUT DOWN. THANKS TO DEDICATED, COMPASSIONATE RESIDENTS AND LOCAL PETA SUPPORTERS, THE TOWN OF SNOWMASS VILLAGE WAS MADE MORE AWARE OF ENTRENCHED ABUSE OF DOGS AND MOVED TO EVICT THE SHADY FACILITY. UNIVERSOUL CIRCUS WENT ANIMAL-FREE AFTER DECADES OF EXPLOITING ELEPHANTS, TIGERS, ZEBRAS, CAMELS, AND OTHER ANIMALS IN CRUEL ACTS. THIS VICTORY FOLLOWED A MAJOR PETA CAMPAIGN THAT INCLUDED E-MAILS FROM OVER 100,000 SUPPORTERS, DOZENS OF PROTESTS, AND HELP FROM CELEBRITIES LIKE TLC'S CHILLI. THE HADI SHRINE ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL NO LONGER EXPLOIT ELEPHANTS IN ITS CIRCUS FOLLOWING MORE THAN 250,000 E-MAILS FROM PETA SUPPORTERS, EYE-CATCHING PROTESTS AT CIRCUS SHOWS AND SHRINE EVENTS, AND DROPPED SPONSORSHIPS. THE 2024 YAARAB SHRINE CIRCUS DIDN'T EXPLOIT ELEPHANTS OR ANY OTHER WILD ANIMALS. OTHER CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AFTER DESIGNER JUN TAKAHASHI SENT TERRARIUM DRESSES THAT INCLUDED LIVE CAPTIVE BUTTERFLIES DOWN THE RUNWAY AT PARIS FASHION WEEK, PETA URGED THE FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF UNDERCOVER NEVER TO DO SO AGAIN AND HE KINDLY AGREED, WRITING IN A HEARTFELT LETTER TO US THAT HE REGRETS TRAPPING BUTTERFLIES, WHO SHOULD "FLY FREELY IN THE SKY, AND PROMISING "NEVER TO USE BUTTERFLIES OR LIVING ANIMALS IN MY CREATIONS." WHEN THEY HEARD FROM PETA THAT ENDANGERED MACAQUES ARE CHAINED, WHIPPED, AND FORCED INTO A LIFETIME OF LABOR PICKING COCONUTS IN THAILAND, COCONUT MILK PRODUCER CHEF'S CHOICE FOODS MANUFACTURER CO. STOPPED SOURCING COCONUTS FROM FARMS IN THAILAND AND SWITCHED TO IMPORTING THEM FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. IT MAKES THE BRANDS CHEF'S CHOICE AND NATURE'S CHARM, BOTH OF WHICH ARE SOLD THROUGHOUT THE U.S. PETA ASKED THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES TO SUPPLEMENT ITS MESSAGE ABOUT HUMANELY KILLING TEGUS-LIZARDS WHO AREN'T NATIVE TO GEORGIA-AND THE AGENCY IMPLEMENTED PETA'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND ADDED CONTENT AND RESOURCES ON ITS WEBSITE TO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC WITH MORE GUIDANCE. AFTER LEARNING FROM PETA THAT BREATHING-IMPAIRED BREEDS (BIBS)-INCLUDING BULLDOGS, PUGS, BOXERS, AND OTHER FLAT-FACED DOGS-SUFFER FROM DEVASTATING HEALTH CONDITIONS, RITE AID STOPPED SELLING GREETING CARDS FEATURING THEM AT ITS MORE THAN 2,100 STORES NATIONWIDE. AND AFTER DISCUSSIONS WITH PETA, WIEDEN+KENNEDY - ONE OF THE LARGEST INDEPENDENT AD AGENCIES IN THE WORLD-COMMITTED TO LEAVING IMAGES OF BIBS OUT OF ITS ADS. PETA'S ABDUCTION TOUR LANDED AT 16 SCHOOLS TO "ABDUCT" MORE THAN 900 STUDENTS INTO A VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCE THAT SHOWS THEM WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR ANIMALS IN LABORATORIES. TOUR STOPS INCLUDED HIGH-PROFILE UNIVERSITIES SUCH AS YALE, PRINCETON, MIT, BROWN, AND JOHNS HOPKINS. PETA ALSO BROUGHT ABDUCTION TO THE PETA EXHIBIT AT THE SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST MEDIA CONVENTION IN AUSTIN, TEXAS. PROFESSIONALS AND CREATIVES AROUND THE WORLD WERE IMPRESSED BY THE EXHIBIT, USING WORDS LIKE "STRONG," "POWERFUL, AND "THOUGHT-PROVOKING." PETA BROUGHT TO LIFE THE PETA2 "YOUR SIGN TO SAVE ANIMALS" CAMPAIGN AT MUSIC EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE U.S. ATTENDEES WERE INVITED TO SPIN A ZODIAC WHEEL TO DISCOVER THEIR ASTROLOGICAL CONSTELLATION AND HOW THEY SHOULD HELP ANIMALS ACCORDING TO THE STARS. PETA'S "CUT OUT DISSECTION" CAMPAIGN FEATURES EVERYTHING A STUDENT NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT ANIMAL DISSECTION AND HOW TO GET IT OUT OF THEIR SCHOOL. TEACHKIND SCIENCE, PETA'S HUMANE SCIENCE EDUCATION DIVISION, DONATED NEARLY 1,500 EMIND ACCOUNTS AND 600 SYNFROGS TO HELP SCHOOLS REPLACE ARCHAIC ANIMAL DISSECTION WITH SUPERIOR, MODERN, HUMANE TEACHING METHODS. PETA2'S REWARDS PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN FALL 2023, ALLOWING YOUNG PEOPLE TO TAKE ACTION FOR ANIMALS ON PETA2.COM, EARN POINTS, AND TURN THEM INTO FREE ANIMAL RIGHTS MERCH TO SPREAD THE WORD IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND AT SCHOOL. TEACHKIND RELEASED ITS FIRST KIDS' BOOK, UNLOCKING THE ANIMAL WORLD: INCREDIBLE FACTS AND HOW KIDS CAN BE SUPERHEROES FOR ANIMALS, BY INGRID NEWKIRK. PETA MAILED THOUSANDS OF COPIES TO PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN STATES INCLUDING CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, AND TEXAS THE STATES WHERE PETA SEES THE MOST YOUTH-COMMITTED CRUELTY-TO-ANIMALS CASES, AHEAD OF SUMMER READING PROGRAMS. AFTER A STRING OF UNSOLVED DOG ABUSE CASES IN THE YAKIMA, WASHINGTON, AREA, TEACHKIND OFFERED TO SEND BUNDLES OF EMPATHY-BUILDING BOOKS AND RESOURCES TO ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT. THE SUPERINTENDENT ACCEPTED THE OFFER, SAYING: "YAKIMA SCHOOL DISTRICT VALUES THE IMPORTANCE OF NURTURING COMPASSION AND EMPATHY IN OUR STUDENTS. WE GRATEFULLY ACCEPT PETA'S BOOK DONATION AS A TOOL TO REINFORCE VALUES AND BELIEFS WITHIN PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY."
990 PART III LN 4C	THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA DEALT A BLOW TO THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (L.A. METRO) REGARDING PETA'S SUCCESSFUL FIRST AMENDMENT LAWSUIT AGAINST THE TRANSIT AGENCY. PETA FILED THE LAWSUIT AFTER L.A. METRO REJECTED ADS FEATURING A SIMPLE PLEA TO SHOW KINDNESS TO ANIMALS BY GOING VEGAN (WITH NO GRAPHIC IMAGERY). THE COURT FOUND ASPECTS OF L.A. METRO'S ADVERTISEMENT POLICY "UNREASONABLE," "UNCONSTITUTIONAL, AND "VIEWPOINT DISCRIMINATORY." IT ISSUED AN INJUNCTION TO PREVENT L.A. METRO FROM ENFORCING THESE UNCONSTITUTIONAL POLICIES, WHICH INCLUDED A STIPULATION PROHIBITING ADS FOR NONCOMMERCIAL SPEECH UNLESS THE AD WAS SPONSORED BY A GOVERNMENT AGENCY. THE INJUNCTION PROMPTED L.A. METRO TO REVISE ITS POLICY TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, REMOVE THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY EXCEPTION, AND IT THEN FILED A MOTION TO VACATE THE INJUNCTION. AFTER EXTENSIVE BRIEFING, THE COURT DENIED L.A. METRO'S REQUEST. AS A RESULT AND PER THE PARTIES' AGREEMENT, THE U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT ALSO DISMISSED A PENDING APPEAL FROM L.A. METRO AS MOOT. IN JUNE 2024, THE DISTRICT COURT AWARDED PETA $250,815 PLUS INTEREST TO COVER COSTS AND FEES. SOUTHWEST WYOMING REGIONAL AIRPORT APPARENTLY HAD NO ADVERTISING GUIDELINES WHEN PETA FIRST INQUIRED ABOUT RUNNING AN AD ENCOURAGING TRAVELERS TO CHOOSE VEGAN LUGGAGE. BUT RATHER THAN ALLOWING THE AD TO RUN, THE AIRPORT, AS ALLEGED IN A PETA LAWSUIT, SCRAMBLED TO CREATE A SET OF POLICY GUIDELINES TO ATTEMPT TO JUSTIFY REJECTING IT. PETA'S LAWSUIT, FILED IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT OF WYOMING, ALLEGES THAT THE AIRPORT'S NEWFOUND "POLICY" IS BEING APPLIED IN A DISCRIMINATORY MATTER AND IS BOTH UNCONSTITUTIONALLY VAGUE AND INHERENTLY VIEWPOINT-DISCRIMINATORY, IN VIOLATION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT. PETA SUPPORTS ITS ALLEGATIONS, IN PART, BY CLAIMING THAT THE AIRPORT HAS HISTORICALLY PROMOTED THE SALE OF GUNS AND SHOOTING SUPPLIES AS WELL AS RODEOS, HUNTING, AND OTHER INDUSTRIES THAT KILL ANIMALS. THE LAWSUIT ALSO QUOTES AIRPORT DIRECTOR DEVON BRUBAKER, WHO REMARKED DURING A RECORDED BOARD MEETING THAT HE THOUGHT THE CONTENT OF THE PETA AD WAS "LESS THAN APPROPRIATE FOR A FAMILY ENVIRONMENT." PETA SUBMITTED A SHAREHOLDER RESOLUTION TO CHALLENGE WHOLE FOODS' CLAIMS THAT IT LEADS THE INDUSTRY IN "RESPONSIBLE SOURCING," BECAUSE IT CONTINUES TO SELL THAI COCONUT MILK INCLUDING THROUGH ITS OWN 365 BRAND DESPITE HAVING RECEIVED AMPLE EVIDENCE OF WIDESPREAD CRUELTY IN THE THAI COCONUT MILK INDUSTRY, AS REVEALED IN PETA ASIA'S PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS. PETA LAUNCHED AN ACTION ALERT AGAINST OCEANIA CRUISES, WHICH OFFERS EXCURSION TOURS TO KO SAMUI, THAILAND, WHERE GUESTS CAN SEE EXPLOITED MONKEYS FORCED TO PICK COCONUTS. WITHIN 24 HOURS OF ITS GOING LIVE, 15,000 SUPPORTERS HAD ALREADY SENT A LETTER TO THE COMPANY TO EXPRESS THEIR OUTRAGE AND DEMAND THAT IT STOP THESE EXCURSIONS. THAT NUMBER QUICKLY CLIMBED UP AND OVER 50,000. GERMAN GROCERY STORE CHAIN LIDL MOVED ITS SUPPLY CHAIN OUTSIDE OF THAILAND AND APPLIED THIS TO ALL ITS STORES, INCLUDING THOSE IN THE U.S. PETA LAUNCHED ITS POWERFUL PLATFORM, "EVERY ANIMAL IS SOMEONE," ALONG WITH ITS NEW EMPATHY KITS, ONE OF WHICH WAS SENT TO MARK ZUCKERBERG AFTER HE ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS RAISING COWS FOR SLAUGHTER ON HIS HAWAII RANCH. PETA SENT ANOTHER TO NEW YORK CITY MAYOR ERIC ADAMS AFTER HE DISCUSSED HIS "HATRED" FOR RATS. PETA WORKED WITH CALIFORNIA REP. TED LIEU'S OFFICE TO INTRODUCE THE GLUE TRAP PROHIBITION ACT. IT SEEKS TO BAN THE USE AND SALE OF GLUE TRAPS, WHICH PERMANENTLY DISABLE, INJURE, AND KILL COUNTLESS ANIMALS EVERY SINGLE YEAR. SINCE THE BILL'S INTRODUCTION IN JANUARY 2024, PETA HAS COLLECTED ENDORSEMENTS FROM 125 ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY AND THE BILL HAS INSPIRED ELECTED OFFICIALS AT THE STATE AND CITY LEVELS TO PURSUE THEIR OWN GLUE TRAP BANS. THE OJAI CITY COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO BAN THE USE AND SALE OF ALL GLUE TRAPS FROM THE CALIFORNIA CITY. OJAI IS NOW THE SECOND CITY IN THE COUNTRY, AFTER WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, TO BAN THESE CRUEL DEVICES. PETA INITIATED THE ORDINANCE, WORKED CLOSELY WITH CITY STAFF, AND GAVE A PRESENTATION TO THE COUNCIL BEFORE THEIR VOTE. PETA WORKED WITH LOCAL ACTIVISTS AND A STATE REPRESENTATIVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE TO INTRODUCE AND BUILD SUPPORT FOR A BILL THAT WOULD BAN THE USE AND SALE OF GLUE TRAPS ACROSS THE STATE. THE BILL IS IN "INTERIM STUDY" FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION. PETA WORKED WITH NEW HAMPSHIRE REP. ELLEN READ ON H.B. 1102, A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND BILL THAT WOULD HAVE BANNED THE BREEDING AND SALE OF BRACHYCEPHALIC DOGS AND CATS AS WELL AS ANY OTHER ANIMAL BRED TO HAVE PAINFUL DEFORMITIES. WHILE THE BILL WAS EVENTUALLY TABLED, 140 STATE REPRESENTATIVES VOTED TO CONTINUE DISCUSSION OF THE BILL AND IT'S EXPECTED TO BE REINTRODUCED IN THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

PETA ALSO INVESTIGATES CRUELTY CASES, CONDUCTS INVESTIGATIONS, GATHERS EVIDENCE OF LEGAL VIOLATIONS, AND TAKES ACTION TO ENSURE THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS. PETA FIELDWORKERS ARE OUT EVERY DAY IN IMPOVERISHED REGIONS WHERE DOGS ARE OFTEN CHAINED OR PENNED OUTDOORS. PETA'S OUTREACH ISN'T LIMITED TO THE CONTINENTAL U.S. PETA'S MOBILE SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS STERILIZED 11,879 ANIMALS IN FISCAL YEAR 2024. THE CLINICS COMPLETED 998 OF THESE SURGERIES ON PIT BULLS AND 3,181 SURGERIES FOR FREE OR AT HALF THE USUAL COST OR LESS.PETA'S ANNUAL MULTISHELTER ADOPTION EVENT, POOCHELLA, WAS WELL-ATTENDED BY THE PUBLIC AND ELECTED OFFICIALS.

IN ADDITION, FIELDWORKERS CANVASSED THE AREA, DELIVERED 25 DOGHOUSES TO DOGS WHO HAD INADEQUATE OR NO SHELTER AT ALL, ARRANGED VETERINARY CARE FOR AILING ANIMALS, CHECKED IN ON CHAINED DOGS THEY VISITED WHEN LAST IN THE AREA, AND FOUND DOZENS OF CHAINED AND PENNED DOGS WHOSE LIVES THEY HAD IMPROVED.AFTER TALKS WITH PETA, THE TOWN OF RICH SQUARE, NORTH CAROLINA, UNANIMOUSLY PASSED A BAN ON UNATTENDED CHAINING. THE ORDINANCE ALSO REQUIRES THAT GUARDIANS PROVIDE ADEQUATE FOOD, WATER, SHELTER, AND VETERINARY CARE. IT WENT INTO EFFECT ON OCTOBER 1, 2024. PETA COORDINATED WITH OFFICIALS IN EAST EARL, PENNSYLVANIA, TO NEGOTIATE THE SURRENDER OF 19 DOGS, WHO WERE RELEGATED TO A COLD GARAGE OR LEFT IN AN OUTDOOR PEN WITHOUT SHELTER.IN FAIRFIELD, CONNECTICUT, PETA PUSHED FOR VIGOROUS PROSECUTION OF ACCUSED SERIAL CAT KILLER RAYMOND NEUBERGER, WHO WAS SENTENCED TO PRISON TIME, PROBATION, AND A LIFETIME BAN ON OWNING ANIMALS.

PETA ASKED THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO ENSURE THAT HE RECEIVE THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE, UNDERGO A PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION, AND BE PROHIBITED FROM OWNING ANIMALS IF CONVICTED. PETA CONTINUED TO PRESS OFFICIALS TO ACT AFTER A FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, POLICE OFFICER WAS RECORDED PUNCHING A K-9 REPEATEDLY AND YANKING HIM OFF THE GROUND BY HIS COLLAR. WHEN POLICE TOOK NO FURTHER ACTION PUBLICLY AGAINST THE OFFICER AND FAILED TO ENSURE THE DOG'S SAFETY, PETA DEMONSTRATED OUTSIDE THE AGENCY'S HEADQUARTERS AND PETA WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON.IN WINDSOR, NORTH CAROLINA, PETA WORKED WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO CONFISCATE DAVE, A YOUNG PUPPY KEPT CHAINED OUTSIDE AND SUFFERING FROM A HORRIFIC FLEA INFESTATION AS WELL AS INTERNAL PARASITES, ANEMIA, AND MANGE.

FOLLOWING RELEASE OF THE VIDEO FOOTAGE, WHICH TRIGGERED LOCAL OUTRAGE, POLICE TRACKED DOWN AND CHARGED THE WOMAN WITH CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION INDUSTRYIN A HISTORIC PLEA AGREEMENT FOLLOWING PETA'S 2021 UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION, ENVIGO PLEADED GUILTY TO A CRIMINAL CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY TO VIOLATE THE AWA AND A FELONY CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY TO VIOLATE THE FEDERAL CLEAN WATER ACT. THESE FIRST-EVER FEDERAL CONVICTIONS OF A SUPPLIER OF ANIMALS FOR EXPERIMENTATION LEAVE ENVIGO FACING MORE THAN $35 MILLION IN PENALTIES, INCLUDING A $22 MILLION FINE. PETA'S INVESTIGATOR TIPPED OFF THE GOVERNMENT TO MANY OF THE VIOLATIONS CITED IN THE DOJ'S FILINGS, INCLUDING THAT ENVIGO STAFF KILLED CONSCIOUS PUPPIES VIA EXCRUCIATING INJECTIONS INTO THE HEART, ADVISED OTHER EMPLOYEES TO WITHHOLD FOOD FROM NURSING MOTHER DOGS, FALSELY TOLD INSPECTORS THAT THE DOGS WERE BEING FED EVERY DAY, AND FALSIFIED RECORDS.PETA SUCCESSFULLY WORKED WITH VIRGINIA LEGISLATORS TO PASS TWO IMPORTANT BILLS. AN ANIMAL TESTING TRANSPARENCY BILL CREATED A TASK FORCE TO IDENTIFY DEFICIENCIES AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AT PUBLICLY FUNDED ANIMAL TESTING FACILITIES IN THE STATE. THE TASK FORCE WILL EXAMINE FACILITIES' VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS AS WELL AS DETAILS ABOUT HOW AND HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE EXPERIMENTED ON, INCLUDING SPECIES PROTECTED BY THE AWA, SUCH AS DOGS, CATS, AND PRIMATES, AS WELL AS THOSE NOT COVERED, INCLUDING BIRDS, RATS, AND MICE. A BAN ON THE USE OF BULLHOOKS, A PAINFUL TOOL USED TO CONTROL ELEPHANTS, WAS ALSO PASSED.ANIMALS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRYBASED ON EVIDENCE GATHERED DURING PETA'S UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION INTO PLAINVILLE FARMS, EIGHT MORE FORMER WORKERS WERE CONVICTED OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS IN PENNSYLVANIA. EVEN THOUGH THE COMPANY CLAIMS THAT TURKEYS ARE "HUMANELY RAISED" IN A "STRESS-FREE ENVIRONMENT," PETA'S INVESTIGATOR FILMED WORKERS THERE REPEATEDLY KICKING AND THROWING TURKEYS. NINE OF THE MEN WERE SENTENCED TO PROBATION, DURING WHICH TIME THEY WILL BE PROHIBITED FROM WORKING WITH ANIMALS. FOLLOWING A WHISTLEBLOWER TIP THAT ANIMALS SUFFERED IN FILTHY CONDITIONS AT THE ONTARIO WATER BUFFALO COMPANY, PETA INVESTIGATED AND FOUND SYSTEMIC ANIMAL SUFFERING THERE. CANADIAN PROVINCIAL OFFICIALS CLAIMED TO HAVE INVESTIGATED THE COMPANY, BUT A FOLLOW-UP VISIT TO THE FARM FOUND THAT ANIMALS WERE STILL BEING KEPT AMID FECES AND SWARMED BY FLIES. PETA'S FINDINGS LED THE OPERATOR'S MAIN CUSTOMER, A CHEESEMAKER, TO CUT TIES WITH THE FARM.PETA WORKED WITH A WHISTLEBLOWER TO EXPOSE LONE STAR ORGANIC DAIRY IN TEXAS, WHERE A COW WAS FOUND TREADING WEAKLY IN A 14-FOOT-DEEP PIT OF FECES AND URINE. DEAD COWS AND CALVES WERE STREWN ACROSS THE GROUND IN THE FARM'S "CEMETERY." HORIZON ORGANIC, THE LARGEST SUPPLIER OF ORGANIC MILK IN NORTH AMERICA, SUSPENDED SOURCING MILK FROM THE FARM AFTER HEARING FROM PETA. THE VISUALS PROVIDED BY THE WHISTLEBLOWER REMIND CONSUMERS THAT ORGANIC" IS JUST ANOTHER MEANINGLESS BUZZWORD THAT HAS NO BEARING ON ANIMAL WELFARE.PETA CONTINUES TO UNCOVER AND SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC STORIES OF ANIMALS WHOSE SUFFERING AND VIOLENT DEATHS AT SLAUGHTERHOUSES WOULD OTHERWISE GO UNTOLD, WITH NO ONE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.PETA EXPOSED THAT NEARLY 2,000 CHICKENS WERE BURNED ALIVE ON TRUCKS BOUND FOR A LOUISIANA SLAUGHTERHOUSE, THAT THOUSANDS OF CHICKENS DIED ON TRUCKS IN MISSOURI, THAT CATTLE SUFFOCATED IN SOUTH DAKOTA, THAT WORKERS REPEATEDLY SHOT A STEER IN THE HEAD AND CUT HIS THROAT WHILE HE WAS STILL CONSCIOUS IN PENNSYLVANIA, THAT A CHICKEN WAS PUNCHED, THAT A COW'S SPINAL CORD WAS HACKED INTO WHILE SHE WAS STILL CONSCIOUS, AND THAT A LAME STEER WAS WHIPPED FOR 20 MINUTES.

	PUBLIC OUTREACH AND INFORMATIONPETA CONDUCTS INFORMATIONAL CAMPAIGNS AND PUBLISHES MATERIALS FOR CHILDREN, HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND EDUCATORS AS WELL AS FACTSHEETS, BOOKLETS, FLYERS, POSTERS, AND A MAGAZINE CALLED PETA GLOBAL FOR SUPPORTERS AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. PETA'S CAMPAIGNS WHICH REACH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND RECEIVE EXTENSIVE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA COVERAGE INVOLVE RENOWNED CELEBRITIES, INTERACTIVE SOCIAL NETWORKING, WEBSITE FEATURES, BLOG POSTS, AND PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS, WHICH ARE TYPICALLY PLACED FOR FREE IN HIGH-EXPOSURE OUTLETS.IN FISCAL YEAR 2024, PETA SECURED FREE ADVERTISING SPACE WORTH NEARLY $4.4 MILLION AND LOGGED OVER 100,000 INTERACTIONS WITH THE MEDIA VIA NEWS RELEASES, LETTERS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND RADIO, TV, PRINT, AND ONLINE INTERVIEWS.

	INTERNATIONAL GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGNSPETA ORGANIZES CAMPAIGNS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE ABUSE AND KILLING OF ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION, FOOD, CLOTHING, AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES, AMONG OTHER TYPES OF CRUELTY. IN 2024, PETA ORGANIZED AND LED 1,317 DEMONSTRATIONS AND SENT OUT MILLIONS OF LETTERS THROUGH ONLINE ADVOCACY CAMPAIGNS TO URGE COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE CHANGES THAT BENEFIT ANIMALS.ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION INDUSTRYTHE U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT RULED THAT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH) VIOLATED THE FIRST AMENDMENT BY BLOCKING CRITICISM OF ANIMAL TESTING. ITS DECISION CAME IN RESPONSE TO A LAWSUIT BROUGHT ON BEHALF OF PETA AND AN INDIVIDUAL PLAINTIFF BY LAWYERS AT THE FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT ANIMAL PROTECTION, THE KNIGHT FIRST AMENDMENT INSTITUTE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, AND THE ANIMAL LEGAL DEFENSE FUND. IT SAYS THAT NIH'S CURRENT AND PAST BLOCKING OF KEYWORDS INCLUDING "MONKEY(S)," "CATS," "MOUSE," "EXPERIMENT," "TESTING," "PETA," "TORTURE, AND "REVOLTING"ON ITS SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES IS ILLEGAL. THIS LANDMARK DECISION REINFORCES THAT NIH CAN NO LONGER DISTORT PUBLIC DISCOURSE OVER ITS WORK BY CENSORING CRITICS OF CRUEL, POINTLESS EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS. AS THE COURT EXPLAINED, ALLOWING NIH TO BLOCK "WORDS RELATED TO ANIMAL TESTING AS CATEGORICALLY OFF-TOPIC DEFIES COMMON SENSE."THE CITES ANIMALS COMMITTEE, WHICH SETS INTERNATIONAL POLICY FOR THE TRADE IN WILD ANIMALS, HAS DECIDED TO MAINTAIN ADDITIONAL SCRUTINY OF ENDANGERED MONKEYS EXPORTED FROM CAMBODIA, THE PHILIPPINES, AND VIETNAM RATHER THAN DROPPING THESE ANIMALS OFF THE LIST. THIS WILL HELP KEEP THESE ANIMALS OUT OF U.S. LABORATORIES. PETA HAD REVIEWED DOCUMENTS FROM THESE COUNTRIES AND SUBMITTED ANALYSES RAISING LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY OF THE COUNTRIES' CLAIMS ABOUT THEIR SUCCESS WITH CAPTIVE BREEDING. PETA ALSO PETITIONED THE U.S. FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE TO LIST THESE ANIMALS AS ENDANGERED UNDER THE FEDERAL ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE THEM WITH ADDITIONAL PROTECTION.THE LOUISIANA SUPREME COURT RULED IN PETA'S FAVOR AND ORDERED THAT LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY (LSU) CAN'T KEEP PUBLIC RECORDS ABOUT CHRISTINE LATTIN'S DEADLY EXPERIMENTS ON SPARROWS HIDDEN. THE UNIVERSITY HAD FOUGHT PETA TO KEEP LATTIN'S RECORDS SECRET SINCE 2019, SAYING THAT IT HAD NO RECORDS OR OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE RECORDS THAT IT DID HAVE. AFTER PETA WON BOTH AT TRIAL AND BEFORE THE LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, LSU APPEALED TO THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE STATE, WHICH AFFIRMED THE DECISIONS OF BOTH LOWER COURTS, FINDING THAT LSU MUST PRODUCE THE RECORDS INCLUDING VIDEOS OF LATTIN'S EXPERIMENTS THAT PETA HAD REQUESTED. IN ADDITION, LSU PAID PETA ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS AWARDED BY THE TRIAL COURT IN THE AMOUNT OF $73,501.THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF GENERAL MEDICAL SCIENCES, PART OF THE NIH, ANNOUNCED AT A RECENT CONFERENCE THAT IT WOULD STOP FUNDING THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF SEPSIS EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS AND INSTEAD SHIFT RESOURCES TOWARD SUPERIOR, HUMAN-RELEVANT METHODS. THE MOVE FOLLOWS YEARS OF PRESSURE FROM PETA AND ITS ONGOING LAWSUIT CHALLENGING THE AGENCY'S CONTINUED FUNDING OF FAILED SEPSIS EXPERIMENTS ON MICE AND OTHER ANIMALS. THIS LAWSUIT IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND TO CHALLENGE AN ENTIRE AREA OF RESEARCH.AFTER PRESSURE AND COMPLAINTS FROM PETA, A SLEEP FRAGMENTATION EXPERIMENT THAT UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST EXPERIMENTER AGNES LACREUSE HAD MOVED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN MADISON'S WISCONSIN NATIONAL PRIMATE RESEARCH CENTER WAS HALTED. UW-MADISON HAD RECEIVED APPROVAL TO SUBJECT 32 MARMOSETS TO 24 NIGHTS, OVER TWO MONTHS, OF LOUD, BLARING NOISES TO WAKE THEM REPEATEDLY. INSTEAD, SIX MARMOSET MONKEYS WERE DEPRIVED OF SLEEP FOR JUST ONE NIGHT.AFTER PETA PROVIDED THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON BOARD OF REGENTS WITH EVIDENCE OF DIRECTOR MICHELE BASSO'S FAILINGS AND CALLED FOR HER DISMISSAL, SHE WAS REMOVED AS DIRECTOR OF THE WASHINGTON NATIONAL PRIMATE RESEARCH CENTER (WANPRC). BASSO, WHO HAS LONG HISTORY OF UTTER DISREGARD FOR THE MONKEYS SHE EXPERIMENTS ON, HAD BOTCHED SURGICAL IMPLANTS IN THE SKULLS OF MONKEYS AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL ANIMAL WELFARE LAWS. LAWMAKERS IN WASHINGTON STATE INTRODUCED A BILL THAT WOULD REQUIRE TRANSPARENCY AT THE PUBLICLY FUNDED WANPRC, WHICH HAS RECEIVED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS IN THE PAST 10 YEARS ALONE. THE PRIMATE ACT WOULD HAVE REQUIRED THAT THE WANPRC PUBLISH DATA ANNUALLY ON THE NUMBER AND SPECIES OF PRIMATES IN ITS FACILITIES, HOW THEY'RE USED IN EXPERIMENTATION, INJURIES AND DEATHS, UNINTENDED INFECTIONS AND ILLNESSES, VIOLATIONS OF THE FEDERAL ANIMAL WELFARE ACT (AWA), PUBLIC FUNDING RECEIVED, AND THE COMPOSITION OF OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES AND BOARDS. THE BILL FOLLOWED PETA'S CAMPAIGNS AND LAWSUITS AND GAINED NINE COSPONSORS ON ITS FIRST DAY. WHILE IT ULTIMATELY DID NOT PASS IN THIS SESSION, IT WAS THE FIRST ACT OF THE WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATURE CHALLENGING THE PRIMATE CENTER AND WILL LIKELY BE REINTRODUCED.THE U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT GRANTED PETA A VICTORY IN ITS APPEAL OF A RULING FROM THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON THAT PERMITTED MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON INSTITUTIONAL ANIMAL CARE AND USE COMMITTEE TO HAVE THEIR NAMES REDACTED IN PUBLIC RECORDS RESPONSES. PETA'S SCIENCE ADVANCEMENT & OUTREACH DIVISION, IN COLLABORATION WITH A MULTIORGANIZATIONAL GROUP OF RESEARCHERS AND ADVOCATES, WON THE LUSH PRIZE, THE LARGEST AWARD OFFERED WITHIN THE ANIMAL-FREE RESEARCH COMMUNITY, IN MAJOR SCIENCE COLLABORATION. THE COVETED BIANNUAL PRIZE IS INTERNATIONALLY COMPETITIVE AND RECOGNIZES THE MOST PROMISING COLLABORATIONS THAT ARE WORKING TO DEVELOP AND PROMOTE ALTERNATIVES TO ANIMAL TESTING. PETA'S GROUP TRIUMPHED OVER TWO FIERCE COMPETITORS, SECURING A PRESTIGIOUS CENTER-STAGE SPOTLIGHT ON ITS WORK TO ADVANCE NON-ANIMAL RESEARCH METHODS.PETA'S COMPLAINT TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) RESULTED IN A $1,000 PENALTY AGAINST HAINAN AIRLINES AFTER CONFIRMING ITS ALLEGATION THAT THE COMPANY HAD VIOLATED FEDERAL LAW IN AUGUST 2022 BY FLYING 720 MONKEYS MORE THAN 8,000 MILES FROM CAMBODIA TO CHICAGO WITHOUT BEING REGISTERED WITH THE AGENCY AS REQUIRED. PETA HAS SINCE CONFIRMED THAT HAINAN AIRLINES STILL HAS NO REGISTRATION AND APPEARS TO BE OUT OF THE MONKEY-TRANSPORT INDUSTRY.LOCAL RESIDENTS IN BAINBRIDGE, GEORGIA, FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY GOVERNMENT AND MULTIPLE COUNTY AGENCIES THAT VOTED, IN VIOLATION OF GEORGIA'S OPEN MEETINGS ACT, TO APPROVE A PLAN WHICH INCLUDED $58 MILLION IN TAX ABATEMENTS TO BUILD THE LARGEST MONKEY-BREEDING FACILITY IN THE U.S. THE PLANNED FACILITY WOULD IMPORT, BREED, AND WAREHOUSE MONKEYS DESTINED TO BE POISONED, MUTILATED, AND KILLED IN POINTLESS LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS, RISKING THE SPREAD OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND DEGRADING THE ENVIRONMENT.ACCORDING TO THE LAWSUIT, THE AGENCIES FAILED TO PUBLISH NOTICES OR AGENDAS, RECORD THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF THEIR MEMBERS, AND IDENTIFY INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS WHO VOTED TO APPROVE THE PROJECT, ALONG WITH VIOLATING THE ACT IN OTHER WAYS. LOCAL RESIDENTS HAVE ALSO FILED A NUISANCE LAWSUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY FOR THE HARM THAT WOULD COME TO THEM IF THE FACILITY IS BUILT.MORE THAN 24,000 PETA SUPPORTERS EMAILED AGENCY OFFICIALS AT THE TAIWAN FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION TO FINALIZE REGULATIONS THAT REMOVES ANIMAL TESTING AS AN OPTION FOR COMPANIES WANTING TO MAKE HUMAN IRON HEALTH CLAIMS FOR MARKETING THEIR FOOD AND BEVERAGE PRODUCTS. THE TESTING INCLUDED FEEDING BABY RATS AN IRON-DEFICIENT DIET TO INDUCE ANEMIA AND THEN FEEDING THEM A TEST FOOD, AFTER WHICH THEIR BLOOD WAS REPEATEDLY TAKEN. THE AGENCY NOW REQUIRES ONLY SAFE AND EFFECTIVE HUMAN TESTS FOR THIS PURPOSE. RECOMMENDATIONS FORMALLY AND REPEATEDLY MADE BY PETA, SOME NEARLY VERBATIM, WERE INCLUDED IN THE NIH APPROVING A PLAN TO INVEST IN AND STUDY ANIMAL-FREE, HUMAN-RELEVANT RESEARCH METHODS. THE PROGRAM IS EXPECTED TO FUND $35 MILLION TO $40 MILLION A YEAR TO "SIGNIFICANTLY ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN HEALTH AND DISEASE."AFTER THE MILITARY HEARD FROM PETA, A U.S. ARMY FUNDED BRAIN DAMAGE EXPERIMENT ON FERRETS ENDED MORE THAN SIX MONTHS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AT MICHIGAN'S WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY. FERRETS WILL NO LONGER BE PURPOSELY BOMBARDED WITH RADIO WAVES, KILLED, AND DISSECTED IN THIS GRUESOME EXPERIMENT. PETA IS URGING THE ARMY TO STOP SUBJECTING ANY SPECIES TO CRUDE AND POINTLESS WEAPON-WOUNDING TESTS AND SWITCH TO ANIMAL-FREE METHODS THAT ARE ACTUALLY RELEVANT TO HUMAN HEALTH.
