It's too easy to escape scrutiny if you're a laboratory that harms animals routinely. It takes PETA to go undercover to get the 24-7 truth. Listen to what an investigator found what High Quality Research in Colorado was doing to dogs and cats. 

Take action. Send a message to one of the lab's biggest client, Colorado State University to end the cruelty.

In 1975, philosopher Peter Singer argued for the end of tyranny by human animals over non-human animals. His book "Animal Liberation," has been an ethical compass for several generations of animal rights activists.

In this conversation with Emil Guillermo, Singer talks about the changes in the last five decades, how his book helped bring about those changes, and how there's still much work to do to convince society that speciesism is wrong. Go to PETA.org for more information.

Dr. John P. Gluck was honored with PETA's Trailblazing Advocacy Award in 2021 for being a shining example of ethics in science.

In this conversation with Emil Guillermo, Dr. Gluck-- a one-time animal experimenter who studied with the infamous Harry Harlow--describes his transformation from an animal experimenter to a compassionate bioethicist committed to a cruelty-free science.

Gluck's book, "Voracious Science and Vulnerable Animals," has become a guide for a new generation of scientists seeking to practice a science aligned with their ethical identity. 

Gluck describes his transition and how he remains haunted by the faces of the animals he experimented on.

Dogs are being reported dead in Michigan and Indiana.  And that's just the ones that get reported.

Don't leave your animal companions out in the cold. Simple tips that will show you care and keep your animals alive. Emil talks with Emily Allen of PETA's CAP program.

If you see an animal out in the cold, contact peta.org. 

See the impact of the cold weather here.

Keep animals indoors. Freezing temperatures spell extra hardship for “backyard dogs,” who often go without adequate food, water, shelter, or veterinary care. If you see animals left outside without shelter from the elements and are unable to help, note their location and alert authorities immediately. (For information regarding what constitutes adequate shelter, click here.)

In cold weather, you can provide birds and other animals with access to water by filling a heavy nonmetal water bowl (tongues can freeze to metal) and breaking the surface ice twice a day. When weather improves, be sure to remove any food offerings to encourage animals to move on to warmer areas.

Anyone who leaves animals outside to suffer in severe weather may be prosecuted.
