PETA ALSO INVESTIGATES CRUELTY CASES, CONDUCTS INVESTIGATIONS, GATHERS EVIDENCE OF LEGAL VIOLATIONS, AND ENGAGES IN INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM AND NEWSGATHERING. IN ADDITION, IT TAKES ACTION TO ENSURE THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS. PANCAKE (SO NAMED BY PETAS FIELD TEAM BECAUSE SHED HAD SO LITTLE INTERACTION WITH HUMANS THAT SHE FLATTENED HERSELF TO THE GROUND UPON THEIR APPROACH) WAS CHAINED FOR YEARS, NEGLECTED, AND FREQUENTLY DEPRIVED OF FOOD AND WATER. AFTER BEING KEPT IN ISOLATION, SHE HAD TO LEARN HOW TO OVERCOME A LIFETIME OF FEAR AND ANXIETY. PANCAKE WAS FOSTERED AND HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY A PATIENT FAMILY DEDICATED TO REHABILITATING HER AND HELPING HER BUILD CONFIDENCE AND START ENJOYING HER LIFE. HER STORY WAS FEATURED IN PEOPLE MAGAZINE AND IN THE WASHINGTON POST MAGAZINE ARTICLE A DOGS LIFE: WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SO CRUEL TO THEIR DOGS? BY TWO-TIME PULITZER PRIZE WINNERS JOURNALIST GENE WEINGARTEN AND PHOTOJOURNALIST MICHAEL S. WILLIAMSON. PETAS ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM VISITED PUERTO RICO WITH THE GOAL OF IMPROVING SEVERAL ANIMAL SHELTERS ON THE ISLAND. THE TEAM HELPED BUILD CATIOS TO GET CATS OUT OF CRAMPED CAGES AND TAUGHT SHELTER STAFF HOW TO INTRODUCE DOGS INTO PLAYGROUPS SAFELY SO THAT THEY COULD ENJOY MORE SPACE, PLAYTIME, AND SOCIALIZATION. FOR SAFETY, ENRICHMENT, AND EXERCISE, THE TEAM BUILT A PUPPY SOCIALIZATION AREA AND REPAIRED OUTDOOR FENCING SO MORE DOGS COULD ENJOY THE YARDS. PETAS MOBILE CLINICS DIVISION ADDED A STATIONARY CLINIC IN ASHLAND, VIRGINIA. THIS CLINIC HAS MUCH MORE SPACE THAN THE MOBILE CLINICS AND CAN DO BLOODWORK AND X-RAYS. A NEW MOBILE CLINIC WAS ALSO ADDED TO THE FLEET IN ORDER TO SERVE MORE LOCATIONS. PETA EXPOSED A MISSOURI PUPPY MILL THAT DENIED CARE TO THIN AND INJURED DOGS AND KEPT OTHERS IN FILTHY CONDITIONS WITHOUT ADEQUATE SHELTER, A TEXAS COUPLE WHO KEPT DYING SUGAR GLIDERS AMONG OTHERS ROTTING REMAINS AND THOUSANDS MORE IN CAGES TEEMING WITH ROACHES, AND A PET TRADE SUPPLIER IN MICHIGAN WHO LEFT 1,500 HAMSTERS CAGED AMID FECES AND THE ROTTING REMAINS OF OTHERS. AFTER A PANDEMIC-RELATED TWO-YEAR HIATUS, PETAS POOCHELLA ADOPTION EVENT RETURNED AND FIVE LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS PARTICIPATED. THE ORGANIZATION WELCOMED THE PUBLIC INTO ITS BEA ARTHUR DOG PARK IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, TO MEET ADOPTABLE DOGS, AND SEVERAL OF THEM, INCLUDING PETA-RESCUED ELEANOR, A FORMER HUNTING DOG, FOUND WONDERFUL HOMES WITH LOVING FAMILIES. AFTER A COMPASSIONATE PERSON CALLED PETA ABOUT EMACIATED SHEEP KEPT IN A BARREN PEN AT A RURAL CONVENIENCE STORE, CASEWORKERS TALKED TO THEIR OWNER, WHO AGREED THAT THEIR NEEDS WERE NOT BEING MET. CAMELLIA AND HER LAMB, MARIGOLD, RECOVERED IN FOSTER CARE AND ARE THRIVING IN A PERMANENT HOME. WHEN A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CONTACTED PETA BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO LEAVE HER ABUSER BUT NOT HER DOGS, THE ORGANIZATION HELPED FIND SAFE PLACES FOR ALL OF THEM. A U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) JUDGE REVOKED THE FEDERAL ANIMAL WELFARE ACT (AWA) LICENSE OF A PENNSYLVANIA GUINEA PIG BREEDER WHOM PETA FOUND DENYING SEVERELY INJURED ANIMALS VETERINARY CARE. AFTER PETA ALERTED LOCAL HUMANE INVESTIGATORS, THE PERPETRATOR WAS CONVICTED OF CRUELTY AND BANNED FROM HAVING ANIMALS FOR TWO YEARS. PETAS UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION INTO AN OHIO BREEDING FACILITY CALLED GREAT PETS DOCUMENTED THAT GUINEA PIGS AND BIRDS WERE DENIED CARE FOR UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS AND PARALYSIS, CRAMMED INTO DARK CAGES AND SMALL PLASTIC TUBS, AND EVEN LEFT TO DIE. ONE FRUSTRATED BIRD WAS KEPT IN A FILTHY CAGE SO SMALL THAT SHE COULDNT EVEN SPREAD HER WINGS. PETA CONTINUES TO URGE PETLAND TO RECONSIDER SELLING ANIMALS FROM THIS ANIMAL FACTORY. PETA LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION INTO A MICHIGAN DOG-BREEDING KENNEL, WHERE THE OWNER SEVERED PUPPIES TAILS AND CUT OFF THEIR DEWCLAWS AS THE PUPPIES SCREAMED IN PAIN. DOZENS OF DOGS PENNED IN SNOW WERE GIVEN NOTHING BUT A FEW HANDFULS OF STRAW PER DILAPIDATED DOGHOUSE, LEAVING THEM SHIVERINGTHE WIND CHILL DROPPED AS LOW AS 1 DEGREEAND THEIR DRINKING WATER FROZE DAILY. AFTER THE LOCAL SHERIFF SAT ON PETAS EVIDENCE FOR A MONTH WITHOUT HELPING THE ANIMALS, STAFF AND ACTIVISTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY CONDUCTED A FOURDAY SIT-IN AT THE SHERIFFS OFFICE. TWO PEACEFUL PROTESTERS WERE ARRESTED. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTERS E-MAILED AND CALLED THE DEPARTMENT. A SHORT WHILE LATER, THE COUNTY SEIZED THE 39 JACK RUSSELL TERRIERS AND SUCCESSFULLY SOUGHT THEIR PERMANENT FORFEITURE IN COURT, AND THEY WERE THEN PLACED FOR ADOPTION. ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION INDUSTRY A GROUNDBREAKING PETA UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION BLEW THE LID OFF NEGLECT, INTENSE CONFINEMENT, SUFFERING, AND DEATH AT ENVIGOS MASSIVE BEAGLE- BREEDING FACILITY IN CUMBERLAND, VIRGINIA. THE COMPANY IS AN INTERNATIONAL SUPPLIER OF ANIMALS FOR USE IN EXPERIMENTS. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, THE EXPOS WAS FOLLOWED BY CITATIONS FOR DOZENS OF VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL ANIMAL WELFARE REGULATIONS, THE EXECUTION OF A SEARCH WARRANT THAT RESULTED IN LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS SEIZURE OF NEARLY 450 DOGS AND PUPPIES IN ACUTE DISTRESS, AND A LEGAL BATTLE BETWEEN ENVIGO AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ). A FEDERAL JUDGE APPROVED THE DOJS PLAN TO TRANSFER ALL APPROXIMATELY 4,000 SURVIVING DOGS FROM ENVIGO TO SHELTERS FOR ADOPTION. THE JUDGE THEN ENTERED A CONSENT DECREE THAT PERMANENTLY BARRED ENVIGO FROM BREEDING AND SELLING DOGS AND EXPERIMENTING ON ANIMALS AT THE FACILITY, WHICH IS CLOSING DOWN. NO MORE DOGS WILL BE BRED OR BORN AT THIS BEAGLE FACTORY FARM. FOLLOWING MORE THAN A DECADE OF INTENSE CAMPAIGNING BY PETA, OTHER PETA ENTITIES, AND GRASSROOTS ACTIVISTS AROUND THE WORLD, AIR FRANCE ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD END ITS TRANSPORT OF MONKEYS TO LABORATORIES AS SOON AS ITS CURRENT CONTRACTS END. PETA ALSO PERSUADED EGYPTAIR TO BAN THE TRANSPORT OF MONKEYS TO LABORATORIES. THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT BANNED THE USE OF LIVE ANIMALS IN TESTING AND SURGICAL VETERINARY TRAININGS IN THE CAPITAL, ISLAMABAD, AND SURROUNDING AREAS AFTER PETA SENT URGENT LETTERS TO THREE COLLEGES IMPLICATED IN GORY VIDEOS SHOWING HORRIFIC SCENES OF REPORTEDLY ABDUCTED DOGS BEING SUBJECTED TO INVASIVE SURGERIES WITHOUT HAVING RECEIVED ANESTHETICS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO SENT LETTERS TO THE RELEVANT PAKISTANI MINISTRIES IN CHARGE OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND VETERINARY TRAININGAND IT MET DIRECTLY WITH THE HEAD OF PRIME MINISTER SHEHBAZ SHARIFS STRATEGIC REFORMS UNIT (SRU) COMMUNICATING PETAS RECOMMENDATIONS AND BROADER ANIMAL TESTING CONCERNS URGING THEM TO EMBRACE HUMANE SIMULATION MODELS AND BAN TRAINING METHODS ON ANIMALS THAT ARENT MEDICALLY NECESSARY AND DONT DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE ANIMALS INVOLVED.

AGV HAD CONDUCTED OR FUNDED AT LEAST 12 CRUEL EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS BETWEEN 2006 AND 2020 IN WHICH NEARLY 900 ANIMALS WERE MUTILATED AND KILLED TO SUPPORT HUMAN HEALTH CLAIMS FOR THE MARKETING OF PRODUCTS SOLD BY THE CORPORATION. FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, NOT A SINGLE ANIMAL WAS KILLED IN SURVIVAL TRAINING DRILLS DURING COBRA GOLD 2022, A MASSIVE JOINT MULTINATIONAL MILITARY EXERCISE HELD IN THAILAND. THIS VICTORY CAME AFTER AN INTENSE CAMPAIGN IN WHICH PETA AND THOUSANDS OF ITS SUPPORTERS URGED THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND THE MARINE CORPS COMMANDANT TO END THE CRUEL BEHAVIOR OF MARINES PARTICIPATING IN THE ANNUAL EXERCISE, WHICH INCLUDED BEHEADING SNAKES AND DRINKING THEIR BLOOD, KILLING CHICKENS WITH THEIR BARE HANDS, EATING LIVE SCORPIONS, AND GUTTING LIVE GECKOS. THE TAIWAN FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (TFDA) FINALIZED A REGULATION THAT REMOVES ANIMAL TESTING AS AN OPTION FOR COMPANIES WANTING TO MAKE BLOOD PRESSURE HEALTH CLAIMS FOR MARKETING THEIR FOOD AND BEVERAGE PRODUCTS TO CONSUMERS. THE TESTING INCLUDED FEEDING CERTAIN FOODS FOR AT LEAST EIGHT WEEKS TO RATS BRED TO DEVELOP HYPERTENSION AND MEASURING THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE RESPONSE USING THE STRESS-INDUCING TAIL-CUFF METHOD. THE TFDA WILL NOW REQUIRE ONLY SAFE AND EFFECTIVE HUMAN TESTS FOR THIS PURPOSE. THIS FOLLOWED PRESSURE FROM PETA THAT INCLUDED THE SUBMISSION OF A DETAILED SCIENTIFIC CRITIQUE AT THE AGENCYS REQUEST AND E-MAILS TO AGENCY OFFICIALS FROM MORE THAN 50,000 SUPPORTERS OPPOSING ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS. FOLLOWING DISCUSSIONS WITH PETA, GRAPE KING BIOTAIWANS LARGEST BIOTECH FERMENTATION HEALTH FOOD COMPANY, KNOWN THERE FOR ITS POPULAR ENERGY DRINKBANNED ANIMAL TESTS NOT EXPLICITLY REQUIRED BY LAW.

THE SOCIETY OF TOXICOLOGY, AN INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION WITH MORE THAN 8,000 MEMBERS, CHOSE DR. CLIPPINGER FOR HER EXCEPTIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF NON-ANIMAL APPROACHES TO TOXICOLOGY TESTING. AFTER YEARS OF EFFORTS BY PETA, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FULLY ACCEPTED NONANIMAL METHODS TO TEST CORROSIVE MATERIALS. THIS UPDATED RULE WILL SPARE RABBITS PAINFUL TESTS IN WHICH POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES ARE APPLIED TO THEIR SHAVED SKIN TO SEE IF BURNS OR OTHER SIGNS OF SKIN DAMAGE DEVELOP. IN A WIN FOR PETAS WORK TO INFORM THE PUBLIC AND HOLD THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON(UW) AND THE WASHINGTON NATIONAL PRIMATE RESEARCH CENTER ACCOUNTABLE, THE KING COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT HELD THAT UW VIOLATED THE STATE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT BY WITHHOLDING RECORDS REVEALING FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL DYSFUNCTION AT THE CENTER AND BY MAINTAINING A POLICY OF DESTROYING PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF PRIMATES. THE 19TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT FOR THE PARISH OF EAST BATON ROUGE RULED THAT LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY MUST TURN OVER RECORDS PETA REQUESTED RELATED TO EXPERIMENTER CHRISTINE LATTINS TAXPAYER-FUNDED EXPERIMENTS ON SPARROWS.

THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF IOWA ISSUED AN ORDER ON MARCH 15 HOLDING THAT THE LAW CRIMINALIZING UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIONS AT FACTORY FARMS, SLAUGHTERHOUSES, AND PUPPY MILLS VIOLATES THE FIRST AMENDMENT. THE STATES APPEAL OF THAT DECISION IS CURRENTLY PENDING. AFTER THE COURT PRELIMINARILY ENJOINED IOWAS SECOND AG-GAG LAW, THE LEGISLATURE PASSED ANOTHER LAW THAT SWITCHED THE STATES STRATEGY FROM CRIMINALIZING UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIONS TO CRIMINALIZING THE USE OF SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY DURING A TRESPASS. THE SAME PLAINTIFFS WHO CHALLENGED THE FIRST TWO LAWS FILED SUIT ON AUGUST 10, 2021, CHALLENGING THIS THIRD LAWS CONSTITUTIONALITY.

IN ADDITION, IT TAKES ACTION TO ENSURE THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS. PANCAKE (SO NAMED BY PETAS FIELD TEAM BECAUSE SHED HAD SO LITTLE INTERACTION WITH HUMANS THAT SHE FLATTENED HERSELF TO THE GROUND UPON THEIR APPROACH) WAS CHAINED FOR YEARS, NEGLECTED, AND FREQUENTLY DEPRIVED OF FOOD AND WATER. AFTER BEING KEPT IN ISOLATION, SHE HAD TO LEARN HOW TO OVERCOME A LIFETIME OF FEAR AND ANXIETY. PANCAKE WAS FOSTERED AND HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY A PATIENT FAMILY DEDICATED TO REHABILITATING HER AND HELPING HER BUILD CONFIDENCE AND START ENJOYING HER LIFE. HER STORY WAS FEATURED IN PEOPLE MAGAZINE AND IN THE WASHINGTON POST MAGAZINE ARTICLE A DOGS LIFE: WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SO CRUEL TO THEIR DOGS? BY TWO-TIME PULITZER PRIZE WINNERS JOURNALIST GENE WEINGARTEN AND PHOTOJOURNALIST MICHAEL S. WILLIAMSON. PETAS ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM VISITED PUERTO RICO WITH THE GOAL OF IMPROVING SEVERAL ANIMAL SHELTERS ON THE ISLAND. THE TEAM HELPED BUILD CATIOS TO GET CATS OUT OF CRAMPED CAGES AND TAUGHT SHELTER STAFF HOW TO INTRODUCE DOGS INTO PLAYGROUPS SAFELY SO THAT THEY COULD ENJOY MORE SPACE, PLAYTIME, AND SOCIALIZATION. FOR SAFETY, ENRICHMENT, AND EXERCISE, THE TEAM BUILT A PUPPY SOCIALIZATION AREA AND REPAIRED OUTDOOR FENCING SO MORE DOGS COULD ENJOY THE YARDS. PETAS MOBILE CLINICS DIVISION ADDED A STATIONARY CLINIC IN ASHLAND, VIRGINIA. THIS CLINIC HAS MUCH MORE SPACE THAN THE MOBILE CLINICS AND CAN DO BLOODWORK AND X-RAYS. A NEW MOBILE CLINIC WAS ALSO ADDED TO THE FLEET IN ORDER TO SERVE MORE LOCATIONS. PETA EXPOSED A MISSOURI PUPPY MILL THAT DENIED CARE TO THIN AND INJURED DOGS AND KEPT OTHERS IN FILTHY CONDITIONS WITHOUT ADEQUATE SHELTER, A TEXAS COUPLE WHO KEPT DYING SUGAR GLIDERS AMONG OTHERS ROTTING REMAINS AND THOUSANDS MORE IN CAGES TEEMING WITH ROACHES, AND A PET TRADE SUPPLIER IN MICHIGAN WHO LEFT 1,500 HAMSTERS CAGED AMID FECES AND THE ROTTING REMAINS OF OTHERS. AFTER A PANDEMIC-RELATED TWO-YEAR HIATUS, PETAS POOCHELLA ADOPTION EVENT RETURNED AND FIVE LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS PARTICIPATED. THE ORGANIZATION WELCOMED THE PUBLIC INTO ITS BEA ARTHUR DOG PARK IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, TO MEET ADOPTABLE DOGS, AND SEVERAL OF THEM, INCLUDING PETA-RESCUED ELEANOR, A FORMER HUNTING DOG, FOUND WONDERFUL HOMES WITH LOVING FAMILIES. AFTER A COMPASSIONATE PERSON CALLED PETA ABOUT EMACIATED SHEEP KEPT IN A BARREN PEN AT A RURAL CONVENIENCE STORE, CASEWORKERS TALKED TO THEIR OWNER, WHO AGREED THAT THEIR NEEDS WERE NOT BEING MET. CAMELLIA AND HER LAMB, MARIGOLD, RECOVERED IN FOSTER CARE AND ARE THRIVING IN A PERMANENT HOME. WHEN A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CONTACTED PETA BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO LEAVE HER ABUSER BUT NOT HER DOGS, THE ORGANIZATION HELPED FIND SAFE PLACES FOR ALL OF THEM. A U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) JUDGE REVOKED THE FEDERAL ANIMAL WELFARE ACT (AWA) LICENSE OF A PENNSYLVANIA GUINEA PIG BREEDER WHOM PETA FOUND DENYING SEVERELY INJURED ANIMALS VETERINARY CARE. AFTER PETA ALERTED LOCAL HUMANE INVESTIGATORS, THE PERPETRATOR WAS CONVICTED OF CRUELTY AND BANNED FROM HAVING ANIMALS FOR TWO YEARS. PETAS UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION INTO AN OHIO BREEDING FACILITY CALLED GREAT PETS DOCUMENTED THAT GUINEA PIGS AND BIRDS WERE DENIED CARE FOR UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS AND PARALYSIS, CRAMMED INTO DARK CAGES AND SMALL PLASTIC TUBS, AND EVEN LEFT TO DIE. ONE FRUSTRATED BIRD WAS KEPT IN A FILTHY CAGE SO SMALL THAT SHE COULDNT EVEN SPREAD HER WINGS. PETA CONTINUES TO URGE PETLAND TO RECONSIDER SELLING ANIMALS FROM THIS ANIMAL FACTORY. PETA LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION INTO A MICHIGAN DOG-BREEDING KENNEL, WHERE THE OWNER SEVERED PUPPIES TAILS AND CUT OFF THEIR DEWCLAWS AS THE PUPPIES SCREAMED IN PAIN. DOZENS OF DOGS PENNED IN SNOW WERE GIVEN NOTHING BUT A FEW HANDFULS OF STRAW PER DILAPIDATED DOGHOUSE, LEAVING THEM SHIVERINGTHE WIND CHILL DROPPED AS LOW AS 1 DEGREEAND THEIR DRINKING WATER FROZE DAILY. AFTER THE LOCAL SHERIFF SAT ON PETAS EVIDENCE FOR A MONTH WITHOUT HELPING THE ANIMALS, STAFF AND ACTIVISTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY CONDUCTED A FOURDAY SIT-IN AT THE SHERIFFS OFFICE. TWO PEACEFUL PROTESTERS WERE ARRESTED. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTERS E-MAILED AND CALLED THE DEPARTMENT. A SHORT WHILE LATER, THE COUNTY SEIZED THE 39 JACK RUSSELL TERRIERS AND SUCCESSFULLY SOUGHT THEIR PERMANENT FORFEITURE IN COURT, AND THEY WERE THEN PLACED FOR ADOPTION. ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION INDUSTRY A GROUNDBREAKING PETA UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION BLEW THE LID OFF NEGLECT, INTENSE CONFINEMENT, SUFFERING, AND DEATH AT ENVIGOS MASSIVE BEAGLE- BREEDING FACILITY IN CUMBERLAND, VIRGINIA. THE COMPANY IS AN INTERNATIONAL SUPPLIER OF ANIMALS FOR USE IN EXPERIMENTS. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, THE EXPOS WAS FOLLOWED BY CITATIONS FOR DOZENS OF VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL ANIMAL WELFARE REGULATIONS, THE EXECUTION OF A SEARCH WARRANT THAT RESULTED IN LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS SEIZURE OF NEARLY 450 DOGS AND PUPPIES IN ACUTE DISTRESS, AND A LEGAL BATTLE BETWEEN ENVIGO AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ). A FEDERAL JUDGE APPROVED THE DOJS PLAN TO TRANSFER ALL APPROXIMATELY 4,000 SURVIVING DOGS FROM ENVIGO TO SHELTERS FOR ADOPTION. THE JUDGE THEN ENTERED A CONSENT DECREE THAT PERMANENTLY BARRED ENVIGO FROM BREEDING AND SELLING DOGS AND EXPERIMENTING ON ANIMALS AT THE FACILITY, WHICH IS CLOSING DOWN. NO MORE DOGS WILL BE BRED OR BORN AT THIS BEAGLE FACTORY FARM. FOLLOWING MORE THAN A DECADE OF INTENSE CAMPAIGNING BY PETA, OTHER PETA ENTITIES, AND GRASSROOTS ACTIVISTS AROUND THE WORLD, AIR FRANCE ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD END ITS TRANSPORT OF MONKEYS TO LABORATORIES AS SOON AS ITS CURRENT CONTRACTS END. PETA ALSO PERSUADED EGYPTAIR TO BAN THE TRANSPORT OF MONKEYS TO LABORATORIES. THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT BANNED THE USE OF LIVE ANIMALS IN TESTING AND SURGICAL VETERINARY TRAININGS IN THE CAPITAL, ISLAMABAD, AND SURROUNDING AREAS AFTER PETA SENT URGENT LETTERS TO THREE COLLEGES IMPLICATED IN GORY VIDEOS SHOWING HORRIFIC SCENES OF REPORTEDLY ABDUCTED DOGS BEING SUBJECTED TO INVASIVE SURGERIES WITHOUT HAVING RECEIVED ANESTHETICS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO SENT LETTERS TO THE RELEVANT PAKISTANI MINISTRIES IN CHARGE OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND VETERINARY TRAININGAND IT MET DIRECTLY WITH THE HEAD OF PRIME MINISTER SHEHBAZ SHARIFS STRATEGIC REFORMS UNIT (SRU) COMMUNICATING PETAS RECOMMENDATIONS AND BROADER ANIMAL TESTING CONCERNS URGING THEM TO EMBRACE HUMANE SIMULATION MODELS AND BAN TRAINING METHODS ON ANIMALS THAT ARENT MEDICALLY NECESSARY AND DONT DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE ANIMALS INVOLVED.

FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, NOT A SINGLE ANIMAL WAS KILLED IN SURVIVAL TRAINING DRILLS DURING COBRA GOLD 2022, A MASSIVE JOINT MULTINATIONAL MILITARY EXERCISE HELD IN THAILAND. THIS VICTORY CAME AFTER AN INTENSE CAMPAIGN IN WHICH PETA AND THOUSANDS OF ITS SUPPORTERS URGED THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND THE MARINE CORPS COMMANDANT TO END THE CRUEL BEHAVIOR OF MARINES PARTICIPATING IN THE ANNUAL EXERCISE, WHICH INCLUDED BEHEADING SNAKES AND DRINKING THEIR BLOOD, KILLING CHICKENS WITH THEIR BARE HANDS, EATING LIVE SCORPIONS, AND GUTTING LIVE GECKOS. THE TAIWAN FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (TFDA) FINALIZED A REGULATION THAT REMOVES ANIMAL TESTING AS AN OPTION FOR COMPANIES WANTING TO MAKE BLOOD PRESSURE HEALTH CLAIMS FOR MARKETING THEIR FOOD AND BEVERAGE PRODUCTS TO CONSUMERS. THE TESTING INCLUDED FEEDING CERTAIN FOODS FOR AT LEAST EIGHT WEEKS TO RATS BRED TO DEVELOP HYPERTENSION AND MEASURING THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE RESPONSE USING THE STRESS-INDUCING TAIL-CUFF METHOD. THE TFDA WILL NOW REQUIRE ONLY SAFE AND EFFECTIVE HUMAN TESTS FOR THIS PURPOSE. THIS FOLLOWED PRESSURE FROM PETA THAT INCLUDED THE SUBMISSION OF A DETAILED SCIENTIFIC CRITIQUE AT THE AGENCYS REQUEST AND E-MAILS TO AGENCY OFFICIALS FROM MORE THAN 50,000 SUPPORTERS OPPOSING ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS.
