BREAKING: Following our undercover investigation, @USDA released a new report citing dog breeder Envigo for 13 new & repeat violations of the Animal Welfare Act.

This is what goes on at the dog factory farm that breeds beagles to be experimented on and killed in labs. The @USDA inspection found a puppy and dogs trapped in Envigo’s barren cages who were deprived of veterinary care for an eye infection, crusted and oozing sores on paws, and other eye and foot ailments.

But the horrors don’t stop there.

Our brand new investigation reveals how workers dragged, kicked, slammed, & chased animals before selling them to the highest bidder at an exotic animal auction.

What we found was extremely disturbing. peta.vg/3cac Exotic animal auctions sell animals like they’re objects.

They peddle living beings to the highest bidder, who sometimes take them for slaughter or use them in so-called “canned hunts.”

A truck carrying 100 monkeys to a lab crashed, resulting in crates of monkeys flying out & three escaped monkeys who were found & killed.

From putting humans at risk of disease, to torturing & killing monkeys, this crash epitomizes everything wrong with animal experiments. The monkeys were already in danger before being locked in tiny crates & stranded on a highway in subfreezing temperatures.

Because monkeys can carry pathogens lethal to humans, this is now a PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE as well.

‼️ HAPPENING NOW ‼️ PETA activists are sitting in and refusing to leave the @HHSGov in protest of Elisabeth Murray’s cruel monkey lab.

Millions of tax payer dollars are wasted on these useless experiments in which monkeys are scared with fake spiders and snakes. @HHSGov UPDATE: Police are confiscating phones and several peaceful protesters have been arrested!

Despicable.
 
Despite “banning” all crash tests on animals decades ago, PETA has just caught @Ford red-handed paying for them. 
 
At least 27 pigs were killed and their bodies were HUNG BY WIRES through their SPINES and slammed by a high-impact pendulum. peta.vg/390m If @Ford doesn’t come clean about its dirty deeds—and soon—it’d better prepare for a customer exodus and a consumer fraud lawsuit.
 
The car company needs to get back in its lane and renew its ban on car crash tests on animals immediately.

From breeding monkeys next to a toxic waste site to letting them to die of thirst, the gruesome conditions at @UW’s National Primate Research Center & breeding mill violate animal welfare laws & threaten public health.

This is what PETA uncovered in a new exposé. Image As just reported in The Arizona Republic, PETA researchers & scientists spent months combing through TENS OF THOUSANDS of university & federal records & talking to multiple industry insiders to uncover the truth about WaNPRC.

Words can create a more inclusive world, or perpetuate oppression.

Calling someone an animal as an insult reinforces the myth that humans are superior to other animals & justified in violating them.

Stand up for justice by rejecting supremacist language. Anti-animal slurs degrade animals by applying negative human traits to certain species.

Perpetuating the idea that animals are sly, dirty, or heartless desensitizes the public and normalizes violence against other animals.
