It’s time to tell Congress to DEFUND these inhumane labs!

PETA has a suggestion for saving $90 million per year from the federal budget: Cut funding from the seven National Primate Research Centers. Save monkeys, save money. Win-Win.

For more than 60 years, the 7 National Primate Research Centers, where monkeys have been scalded to death, electroshocked, infected with viruses, caged for life, and killed, have used billions of fed dollars on failed experiments, all for nothing.

The deaths of Lady & Ryder are not accidents—they’re the inevitable result of forcing horses into traffic, endless exhaustion, extreme weather, and immense stress. 📍NYC: BAN carriage rides & pass Ryder’s Law.

How many horses will be injured or DIE before NYC bans this cruelty? 😡. Yesterday’s disgraceful Central Park incident proves that as long as horse-drawn carriages remain on the streets, both horses and humans will keep paying the price.

These sightseekers were taken for more than just a ride. A pair of horse carriage passengers were forced to jump out of a speeding buggy in Central Park after its horse got spooked and ran wild...

In August, a horse collapsed & died, & another ran frantically in Central Park. Actor & New Yorker, Edie Falco, knew she had to help ban horse carriages in NYC. She sent a letter to urge NYC's council to pass Ryder's Law, which has been blocked for years. Thanks for speaking up!

Think “free-range” eggs are kind? You’ve been sold a humane washing lie. Companies use feel-good labels to hide the truth — keeping hens in cramped sheds and killing male chicks because they don’t lay eggs 🐔💔🐥.There’s no humane way to consume animals ❌.

Hundreds of brands have moved on from fur, yet Roberta Weissburg Leathers remains Pittsburgh’s last holdout, profiting from cruelty. With bans spreading worldwide, it’s time for this Steel City shop to ditch fur!. Tell them to DROP FUR NOW!

Did you know that monkeys, just like him, are being tormented in cruel experiments around the globe?. @NIH is funding some of these labs, with little to no oversight, allowing lab staff to neglect & abuse the animals they're torturing 💔 #InternationalPrimateDay

“Owning” a monkey means taking them away from their family and everything that’s natural to them. Stop exploiting them, Madeline & Méline, monkeys belong in the wild, not in your videos! #InternationalPrimateDay

“…When we use love & compassion as our guiding principles, we can create, develop, & implement systems of change that are beneficial to all sentient beings. ” 👏. We’ll never forget the inspiring speech Joaquin Phoenix delivered during his Best Actor speech at the Oscars ♥️.
An emotional Joaquin Phoenix concludes his acceptance speech by remembering his brother River Phoenix: "When he was 17, my brother wrote this lyric. He said, 'Run to the rescue with love—and peace will follow.'" #Oscars

Cora and Turnip were torn away from their mothers and kept in a bleak basement at a primate research center in Wisconsin. For them and others, speak out now.

This #InternationalPrimateDay, remember them:. 💔 A baby monkey left bloodied in a barren cage.💔 A mother clinging to her child, powerless to protect them against experimenters. This is how monkeys imprisoned in the seven national primate research centers suffer.

Imagine you were strapped down and electroshocked until you ejaculated, just so someone could use your semen?! That’s how males are targeted in the meat and dairy industries.
