Celebrating the holidays by making tasty food with your loved ones is normal and fun. Here’s what’s not normal: Paying for pigs to be held in constant confinement and then slaughtered at just six months old for a holiday ham. https://lnkd.in/gzF_s2am #PETA #Vegan #GoVegan #NotOurstoEat #AnimalRights #AnimalWelfare #Activism #AnimalActivism #Animals

About us
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) entities have more than 9 million members and supporters globally, and PETA U.S. is the largest animal rights organization in the world. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, in the food industry, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of rodents, birds, and other animals who are often considered “pests” as well as cruelty to domesticated animals. PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns. PETA Foundation was founded in 1993 as an organization that helps PETA run, and includes departments like IT, Development, and Interactive Media. PETA and the PETA Foundation are two separate organizations but work very closely together. Looking for a career in animal rights?

The start of Hanukkah—aka “The Festival of Lights”— is right around the corner, and we’re here to help make it a compassionate celebration. Jewish tradition emphasizes treating animals with kindness. The Jewish concept of tza’ar ba’alei chayim even explains that humans should never cause other animals pain, as all animals have the capacity to love and suffer and have families and friends of their own. So, wanna make your Hanukkah meaningful and animal-friendly? Check out these three super-easy tips. https://lnkd.in/e-qvBGGq #Hanukkah #holiday #celebrate #FestivalOfLights #compassion #tradition #animals #kindness #love #family #AnimalFriendly #tips #CrueltyFree #traditions

In a dream come true for PETA honorary director Pamela Anderson and the tens of thousands of PETA supporters who took action, Le Marineland d’Antibes (Marineland France) will finally close its doors on January 5, 2025! This massive news comes after years of campaigning by PETA and other animal protection associations, including protests at the park, petitions, letters, exposés, and more. Actions included Pamela Anderson posing naked in a bathtub reminiscent of the tiny tanks in which the animals are housed, prompting influencers to pose in their bathtubs during the COVID-19 lockdown. French YouTube star Greg Guillotin also made a statement by sitting in a fishbowl for another ad campaign. An action alert garnered support from almost 50,000 PETA France supporters, proving how much we can achieve when we raise our voices together! https://lnkd.in/eEke5CXX #victory #major #DreamComeTrue #advocate #support #animals #campaigns #action #activist #ad #celebrate #AnimalRights #AnimalLiberation

Pamela Rosaire and her husband, Roger Zoppe, haven’t used chimpanzees in a traveling circus act in close to a decade, because audiences no longer want to see primates paraded around by a rope noose, forced to wear degrading costumes, and compelled to do backflips on horseback. Circuses that use wild animals are falling by the wayside, yet the Rosaire-Zoppe chimpanzee act has clung to this shameful part of its history by refusing to allow these long-suffering individuals to retire. Before it’s too late for the few chimpanzees who remain in Rosaire and Zoppe’s possession, please ask the couple to work with the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance to find these primates a permanent home at an accredited sanctuary where they would have the opportunity to socialize with other chimpanzees and receive expert veterinary care, have space to roam, and enjoy a choice of complex enrichment activities. https://lnkd.in/eHrqem6J #chimpanzee #sanctuary #animals #animalrights #veterinarian #animalcare #notyourentertainment #PETA #takeaction

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 3162—also known as “the California Oppose Cruelty to Octopuses (OCTO) Act”—into law. PETA endorsed the bill in its early stages, and groups including Social Compassion in Legislation and the Animal Legal Defense Fund worked hard to garner support for it. The OCTO Act will make it illegal for anyone in California to engage in the aquaculture, or farming, of octopuses meant for human consumption. It will also ban business owners and operators from knowingly selling octopuses who came from octopus farms. https://lnkd.in/ePs6vjyW #california #octopus #law #bill #protect #advocate #activist #AnimalRights #AnimalLiberation #protection #GoVegan #LiveVegan #animals

A string of violent and cruel crimes against cats left alone outside—including poisonings, shootings, burnings, and beatings—is plaguing the U.S. That’s why PETA’s asking everyone to keep cats where they belong: safe inside.

Backed by PETA’s Global Compassion Fund, PETA fieldworkers returned to the “zona irregular” neighborhood of Avante, Mexico. With some help from our friends Direccion de Protecion y Bienstar Animal, Planned Pethood International, and the veterinarians who came all the way from Brazil and Cuba to help, the free spay-a-thon sterilized a whopping 324 dogs and cats in just one weekend. We received a certificate of appreciation from the Mayor of Cancun for our collaboration in helping to end the companion animal homelessness crisis. https://lnkd.in/gjMMJKGK #PETA #Mexico #SpayandNeuter #AdoptDontShop #Animals #AnimalWelfare #AnimalRights

The holiday season is a time to offer others kindness, compassion, and charity. A perfect way to embody those values is to speak up for the animals killed for holiday meals. Turkeys are gentle animals who enjoy having their feathers stroked and listening to music, with which they will often loudly sing along! Yet millions of turkeys are cruelly bred and raised specifically for the holiday season before being violently slaughtered. https://lnkd.in/dCvCiG9B #turkeys #holidays #HolidaySeason #HolidayMeals #animals #cruelty #abuse #TakeAction #advocate #activist #AnimalRights #AnimalLiberation #LiveVegan
