| 990 PART III LN 4C | PETA'S GIANT UNICORNS SHARED MORE THAN 1,000 SLICES OF VEGAN CHEESE PIZZA OUTSIDE DOMINO'S RESTAURANTS FROM CALIFORNIA TO TENNESSEE PART OF OUR CAMPAIGN URGING THE WORLD'S LARGEST PIZZA CHAIN TO OFFER VEGAN CHEESE AT ITS 7,000-PLUS STORES. BILLBOARDS SUPPORTING THIS CAMPAIGN IN ATLANTA AND DENVER CAPTURED NATIONAL MEDIA ATTENTION, AND AN AD IN THE DENVER AREA WAS SEEN BY MORE THAN 62 MILLION PEOPLE. A DIGITAL BILLBOARD ADVOCATING EMPATHY FOR CHICKENS AND PIGS STOOD IN TIMES SQUARE FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR, REACHING MORE THAN 12.1 MILLION VIEWERS, AND 4.2 MILLION TRAVELERS SAW OUR POWERFUL ADS URGING COMPASSION FOR FISH ACROSS 32 DIGITAL SCREENS AT SEATTLE-TACOMA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. EVEN MORE VIEWERS CONNECTED WITH OUR MESSAGE ONLINE. PETA AND PETA LATINO'S VEGAN-CENTERED SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT RECEIVED MORE THAN 100 MILLION VIEWS IN 2025, INCLUDING A VIRAL "ELEPHANT" FILET POST WITH OVER 10 MILLION VIEWS AND A MEMORIAL DAY DOG BBQ DEMO VIDEO WITH OVER 90 MILLION. WE ALSO FULFILLED 92,800 REQUESTS FOR VEGAN STARTER KITS THIS YEAR, GIVING PEOPLE THE TOOLS TO SPARE ALMOST 19,000,000 ANIMALS A YEAR AND HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE PLANET AND THEMSELVES. THOUSANDS MORE JOINED OUR 3-WEEK VEGAN CHALLENGE AND EXPLORED VEGAN EATING WITH OUR LIBRARY OF MOUTHWATERING RECIPES. ANIMALS' SKIN, HAIR, FEATHERS, AND FUR BELONG TO THEM, NOT US. THAT'S WHY IN 2025, PETA PUSHED THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY TO EVOLVE BEYOND ABUSING TENS OF MILLIONS OF LIVING, FEELING BEINGS FOR SWEATERS, SHOES, AND ACCESSORIES. OUR WORK MOVED GLOBAL E-COMMERCE GIANT SHEIN TO EXPAND ITS BAN ON FUR AND WILD-ANIMAL SKINS TO INCLUDE THIRD-PARTY SELLERS AND PROHIBIT THE SALE OF EXOTIC FEATHERS, ANIMAL TRAPS, AND TAXIDERMY TO ITS MORE THAN 25 MILLION ACTIVE USERS IN THE U.S. VON MAUR, MAX MARA, AND FAMED MUSICIAN DRAKE'S BRAND, OCTOBER'S VERY OWN, ALL AGREED TO STOP SELLING FUR, WHILE FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS BANNED FUR IN ITS RETAIL STORE. AFTER YEARS OF PRESSURE FROM PETA, CONDE NAST FINALLY ENDED FUR PROMOTIONS TO AN ESTIMATED 11 MILLION MONTHLY READERS IN THE U.S. OF MAGAZINES INCLUDING VOGUE, VANITY FAIR, GQ, ALLURE, AND GLAMOUR. THEY WERE SOON FOLLOWED BY HEARST, WHOSE OWN BAN ON FUR WILL BE NOTICED BY MORE THAN 70 MILLION MONTHLY READERS ACROSS HARPER'S BAZAAR, ELLE, ESQUIRE, SEVENTEEN, AND COSMOPOLITAN. POPULAR MALL RETAILER ZUMIEZ, WHICH OPERATES 728 STORES, DROPPED MOHAIR AND CASHMERE. TAILORED BRANDS, WHICH HAS MORE THAN 1,000 STORES ACROSS ALL BRANDS, INCLUDING LEADING MENSWEAR RETAILER MEN'S WEARHOUSE COMMITTED TO ENDING SALES OF SHOES MADE FROM ALLIGATOR, OSTRICH, AND OTHER WILD ANIMALS. WE URGED THE NFL TO SWITCH TO SYNTHETIC BALLS AFTER OUR UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION FILMED AT A SLAUGHTERHOUSE THAT SUPPLIES LEATHER FOR WILSON'S OFFICIAL NFL FOOTBALLS REVEALED TERRIFIED COWS WATCHING AND TRYING TO ESCAPE AS OTHERS ARE BEING SHOT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND DISMEMBERED IN FRONT OF THEMALL IN VIOLATION OF INDUSTRY AND VETERINARY GUIDELINES. AT LEAST 70,000 COWS ARE KILLED ANNUALLY IN THE PRODUCTION OF WILSON FOOTBALLS, AND IN 2024, THE COMPANY OPENED A NEW FACTORY, NEARLY DOUBLING ITS CAPACITY. IN NEW ZEALAND, PETA ASIA DOCUMENTED SHEARERS KICKING, STOMPING, AND INJURING SHEEP ON 11 ZQ-CERTIFIED WOOL FARMS SUPPLYING BRANDS LIKE ALLBIRDS AND SMARTWOOL. AFTER THE RELEASE OF A NEW PETA ASIA INVESTIGATION REVEALED RABBITS CONFINED TO TINY CAGES AND WORKERS VIOLENTLY SHEARING OFF THEIR HAIR, MORE THAN 33,000 PETA ENTITY SUPPORTERS LENT THEIR VOICES TO PETA'S CALL FOR GWYNETH PALTROW TO STOP SELLING ANGORA THROUGH HER GOOP BRAND. JUST DAYS LATER, THE COMPANY REMOVED ALL ANGORA FROM ITS WEBSITE AND JOINED THE MORE THAN 425 RETAILERS AROUND THE WORLD THAT ARE ANGORA-FREE. THROUGH OUR CREATIVE AND CLEVER CAMPAIGNS, WE EXPOSED THE CRUELTY OF THE ANIMAL SKINS INDUSTRY TO MILLIONS OF VIEWERS. OUR SUPER BOWL TV AD SERIES GENERATED 5.8 MILLION IMPRESSIONS, AS "MINDFUL MOBSTERS" CALLED OUT THE VIOLENT ANIMAL-SKIN AND WOOL RACKETS, AND A SATIRICAL "DIY BIRKIN BAG" TUTORIAL HIGHLIGHTED THE MISERY BEHIND CROCODILE-SKIN BAGS, EARNING OVER 1 MILLION VIEWS. AHEAD OF BLACK FRIDAY, PETA STAGED "FREE THE ANIMALS" FRIDAY DEMONSTRATIONS IN 33 CITIES. OUR ROBO-CALF CHARLI XC COW DREW ATTENTION IN LAS VEGAS, NEW YORK, AND SALT LAKE CITY EARNING NATIONAL MEDIA COVERAGE AND A SHOUTOUT TO STEPHEN COLBERT'S MORE THAN 2 MILLION DAILY VIEWERS. CELEBRITIES, INCLUDING CAYLEE COWAN, TORREY DEVITTO, DULCE MARIA, AND SOFIA SISNIEGA, JOINED OUR CALL TO EMBRACE CRUELTY-FREE STYLE THAT DOESN'T HARM ANIMALS. PETA SCORED A LEGAL VICTORY FOR FREE SPEECH AFTER A FIRST AMENDMENT LAWSUIT LED SOUTHWEST WYOMING REGIONAL AIRPORT TO AGREE TO RUN OUR ANTI-LEATHER AD ON THE SAME TERMS AS OTHER ADVERTISERS. THE AD ENCOURAGING TRAVELERS TO CHOOSE VEGAN LUGGAGE GREETED MORE THAN 3 MILLION PASSENGERS NATIONWIDE OVER THE LONG MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. |
