PETA PUBLISHES FACTSHEETS, BOOKLETS, FLIERS, POSTERS, AND A MAGAZINE CALLED PETA GLOBAL FOR THE PUBLIC AND THEIR SUPPORTERS. PETA'S CAMPAIGNS-WHICH REACH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND RECEIVE EXTENSIVE MEDIA COVERAGE-INVOLVE RENOWNED CELEBRITIES, INTERACTIVE SOCIAL NETWORKING, WEBSITE FEATURES, BLOG POSTS, AND PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS (PSAS), WHICH ARE TYPICALLY PLACED FOR FREE IN HIGH EXPOSURE OUTLETS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, PETA SECURED FREE ADVERTISING SPACE WORTH 680,858 AND LOGGED MORE THAN 4,200 INTERACTIONS WITH THE MEDIA, INCLUDING RADIO, TV, AND PRINT INTERVIEWS. PETA'S WEBSITES RECEIVED MORE THAN 91 MILLION PAGE- VIEWS, THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS RECEIVED OVER 2 BILLION IMPRESSIONS, AND VIDEOS WERE VIEWED OVER 498 MILLION TIMES. 10487457 2084196 INTERNATIONAL GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGNS PETA ORGANIZES CAMPAIGNS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE ABUSE AND KILLING OF ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION, FOOD, CLOTHING, AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES, AMONG OTHER INSTANCES IN WHICH THEY'RE TREATED CRUELLY. IN 2019, PETA ORGANIZED AND LED MORE THAN 3,400 DEMONSTRATIONS AND SENT OUT MILLIONS OF LETTERS THROUGH PETA'S ONLINE ADVOCACY CAMPAIGNS TO URGE COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE CHANGES THAT BENEFIT ANIMALS. TEACHKIND, PETA'S HUMANE EDUCATION DIVISION, PARTNERED WITH A SCHOOL DISTRICT IN RURAL MISSISSIPPI TO TRAIN TEACHERS IN HUMANE EDUCATION AND HELP THEM IMPLEMENT THEIR "SHARE THE WORLD" PROGRAM IN CLASSROOMS TO FOSTER EMPATHY FOR ALL SENTIENT BEINGS. PETA'S YOUTH DIVISION, PETA FUTURE, GAVE VEGAN DEMONSTRATIONS TO OVER 1,000 STUDENTS AND TOURED ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WITH CARLY THE LIFE-SIZE- ANIMATRONIC COW TO TEACH MORE THAN 13,000 CHILDREN HOW COWS SUFFER IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY AND DISTRIBUTE FREE VEGAN ICE CREAM. PETA FUTURE ALSO WORKED WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT CLUBS THROUGHOUT THE NATION TO HOLD TABLING EVENTS ON ISSUES INCLUDING SHOPPING CRUELTY-FREE, DISSECTION- CHOICE POLICIES, AND GETTING MORE VEGAN OPTIONS IN SCHOOL CAFETERIAS. AS PART OF THE HIGH SCHOOL NATION TOUR, PETA FUTURE BROUGHT THEIR "COMPASSION IS MAGICAL" MESSAGE TO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELDS ACROSS THE U.S. AND DISTRIBUTED OVER 100,000 COPIES OF THEIR "GUIDE TO GOING VEGAN," LOTS OF VEGAN FOOD SAMPLES, AND OTHER PRO-ANIMAL MATERIALS. PETA FUTURE'S CAMPUS REP NETWORK-THE LARGEST STUDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM OF ANY ANIMAL PROTECTION ORGANIZATION-HELPED STUDENTS TAKE NEARLY 1,400 ACTIONS FOR ANIMALS AT MORE THAN 100 COLLEGES. FOR EXAMPLE, THE REPS SCREENED ANIMAL RIGHTS FILMS, PROTESTED OUTSIDE CAMPUS LABORATORIES, CAMPAIGNED TO END SEAWORLD TICKET SALES, AND HOSTED VEGAN FOOD AND DRINK GIVEAWAYS. ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION INDUSTRY AFTER HEARING FROM PETA AND THEIR INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATES, PHARMACEUTICAL GIANTS BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM, ROCHE PHARMACEUTICALS, JOHNSON & JOHNSON, ABBVIE INC., AND DUTCH INGREDIENT MANUFACTURER DSM NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS ENDED THEIR USE OF THE CRUEL FORCED SWIM TEST, IN WHICH SMALL ANIMALS ARE DROPPED INTO INESCAPABLE BEAKERS OF WATER AND MUST FRANTICALLY SWIM TO KEEP FROM DROWNING. PETA PERSUADED DOZENS OF FOOD AND DRINK COMPANIES TO STOP ALL TESTS ON ANIMALS NOT REQUIRED BY LAW-MANY OF WHICH INVOLVED HARMFUL AND DEADLY PROCEDURES-AND/OR IMPLEMENT POLICIES AGAINST FUNDING OR CONDUCTING SUCH TESTS. SOME OF THESE COMPANIES INCLUDE THE HERSHEY COMPANY, LINDT & SPRNGLI, THE KELLOGG COMPANY, MCCAIN FOODS, THE CAMPBELL SOUP COMPANY, NISSIN FOODS HOLDINGS CO. (THE OWNER OF TOP RAMEN), SUNTORY HOLDINGS (WHOSE BRANDS INCLUDE JIM BEAM, MAKER'S MARK, CRUZAN RUM, AND HORNITOS TEQUILA), KIRIN HOLDINGS CO., AND THE MOLSON COORS BREWING COMPANY. TWO MAJOR PERSONAL-CARE BRANDS JOINED PETA'S BEAUTY WITHOUT BUNNIES LIST OF CRUELTY-FREE COMPANIES AFTER YEARS OF WORKING WITH US: PROCTER & GAMBLE'S ICONIC HERBAL ESSENCES BRAND AND DOVE-ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY AVAILABLE PERSONAL-CARE PRODUCT BRANDS IN THE WORLD. FOLLOWING TALKS WITH PETA, CINCINNATI CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER WILL NO LONGER USE ANIMALS DURING ITS ANNUAL PEDIATRIC FLEXIBLE BRONCHOSCOPY POSTGRADUATE COURSE. THIS WILL PREVENT CABLES FROM BEING INSERTED INTO THE THROATS AND LUNGS OF HUNDREDS OF LIVE CATS, MANY OF WHOM WOULD SUFFER FROM POSSIBLY PAINFUL AND SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS, INCLUDING RESPIRATORY DISTRESS AND CARDIAC ARREST. FOLLOWING A TWO-YEAR PETA CAMPAIGN TO END TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY'S CRUEL CANINE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY EXPERIMENTS, THE SCHOOL STOPPED BREEDING GOLDEN RETRIEVERS AND OTHER DOGS TO DEVELOP THE DEADLY DISEASE. PETA'S DETERMINED EFFORTS INCLUDED NUMEROUS BOLD PROTESTS, THREE LAWSUITS, A COMPLAINT TO THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL, MOBILE BILLBOARDS AND ADVERTISEMENTS, TV COMMERCIALS, SUCCESSFUL STUDENT PETITIONS, A BULK DELIVERY OF MORE THAN 40,000 POSTCARDS FROM PETA SUPPORTERS, MEDIA COVERAGE IN MAJOR OUTLETS, AND SUPPORT FROM MORE THAN 500 PHYSICIANS, SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS, AND CELEBRITIES, INCLUDING PAUL MCCARTNEY. FOR THE FIRST TIME, PETA TABLED AT BEAUTYCON-THE MASSIVE BEAUTY AND LIFESTYLE CONVENTION-IN BOTH NEW YORK CITY AND LOS ANGELES. MORE THAN 5,200 ATTENDEES SIGNED UP TO RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PETA AND PLEDGED TO SHOP CRUELTY-FREE. ANIMALS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY TO PROMOTE VEGAN EATING, PETA HELD MANY CREATIVE DEMONSTRATIONS AND PLACED BILLBOARDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY-INCLUDING IN STATES WHERE MILLIONS OF ANIMALS USED FOR FOOD DIED IN THE FLOODING CAUSED BY HURRICANE FLORENCE; AN "I'M ME, NOT MEAT" LOBSTER AD IN ADVANCE OF THE MAINE LOBSTER FESTIVAL; AND BILLBOARDS IN MEMORY OF THE THOUSANDS OF COWS, PIGS, CHICKENS, AND LOBSTERS WHO WERE INJURED OR KILLED IN TRANSPORT TRUCK CRASHES. FOR THANKSGIVING, PETA ARRANGED A DONATION OF 100 TOFURKY ROASTS FOR THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS TO DISTRIBUTE TO FAMILIES IN NEED, COORDINATED THE RESCUE OF 16 TURKEYS FROM A SLAUGHTERHOUSE, AND DONATED HUNDREDS OF POUNDS OF VEGAN FOODS TO A CHARITY AFTER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TOOK THEIR VEGAN "PERSUASION PLEDGE." FOR NATIONAL BURGER MONTH (MAY) AND NATIONAL HOT DOG MONTH (JULY), PETA RANKED THE TOP 10 VEGAN BURGERS AND THE TOP 10 VEGAN HOT DOGS, RESPECTIVELY, FROM RESTAURANTS AROUND THE COUNTRY. AFTER PETA ALERTED LAW ENFORCEMENT IN NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, TO A PLANNED ILLEGAL FOIE GRAS DINNER EVENT, IT WAS CANCELED. AND THANKS TO PETA'S PUSHING, SHAKE SHACK CANCELED PLANS TO SERVE FOIE GRAS AT A SPECIAL ONE-DAY EVENT AT ONE OF ITS LOCATIONS. FOLLOWING TALKS AND URGING FROM PETA, CHOBANI ADDED VEGAN YOGURTS, CARL'S JR. AND DEL TACO ADDED BEYOND MEAT PRODUCTS TO THEIR MENUS NATIONWIDE, AND BASKIN-ROBBINS RELEASED ITS FIRST VEGAN ICE CREAM FLAVORS. ANIMALS IN THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY FOLLOWING A STRONG, MONTHS-LONG PUSH BY PETA THAT INCLUDED THEIR ATTENDANCE AT MULTIPLE COMMITTEE MEETINGS, THE LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO BAN THE MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF FUR CITYWIDE. PETA ALSO STRONGLY SUPPORTED NEW YORK CITY'S PROPOSED BAN ON SELLING FUR- WITH OP-EDS BY ANJELICA HUSTON AND TIM GUNN, SUPPORT FROM MORRISSEY, DEMONSTRATIONS OF STEEL-JAW TRAPS, AND MORE. A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE BLOCKED CALIFORNIA'S SCHEDULED BAN ON IMPORTING AND SELLING CROCODILE AND ALLIGATOR SKINS AFTER JANUARY 1, 2020, FAILED, FOLLOWING WORK BY PETA. AFTER YEARS OF PETA PRESSURE, NUMEROUS DESIGNERS AND BRANDS BANNED FUR, INCLUDING PRADA, BURBERRY (WHICH ALSO BANNED ANGORA), DIANE VON FURSTENBERG (WHICH ALSO BANNED ANGORA AND EXOTIC SKINS), CHANEL (WHICH ALSO BANNED EXOTIC SKINS), COACH, AND JEAN PAUL GAULTIER (WHO ADMITTED THAT THE WAYS IN WHICH ANIMALS ARE KILLED FOR THEIR FUR ARE "DEPLORABLE"). IN LIGHT OF THEIR GROUNDBREAKING MOHAIR EXPOS, MORE THAN 330 BRANDS WORLDWIDE-INCLUDING RESTORATION HARDWARE, WILLIAMS SONOMA, BROOKS BROTHERS, AND RALPH LAUREN-HAVE BANNED THE MATERIAL. MULTIPLE COMPANIES BANNED BADGER HAIR FOLLOWING PETA'S VIDEO EXPOS OF CHINA'S BADGER-BRUSH INDUSTRY, INCLUDING PROCTER & GAMBLE'S THE ART OF SHAVING LINE, THE NEW YORK SHAVING COMPANY, BEAU BRUMMELL, AND CASWELL- MASSEY. IN RESPONSE TO THEIR QUESTION AT TESLA'S ANNUAL MEETING, CEO ELON MUSK CONFIRMED THAT THE COMPANY WILL REPLACE THE ANIMAL LEATHER THAT IT CURRENTLY USES FOR THE STEERING WHEELS OF ITS MODEL 3 WITH VEGAN MATERIAL- AND THAT ITS MODEL Y WILL BE FULLY VEGAN. IN OTHER VICTORIES FOR PETA'S FASHION CAMPAIGN, VICTORIA BECKHAM AND AHOLD DELHAIZE PLEDGED TO STOP USING EXOTIC SKINS, H&M BANNED "CONVENTIONAL" CASHMERE (THE ONLY KIND IT SELLS) FOLLOWING A MEETING WITH PETA, AND AFTER PETA INFORMED AVOCADO GREEN MATTRESS ABOUT SHOCKING, SYSTEMIC CRUELTY IN THE WOOL INDUSTRY, THE COMPANY ADDED A VEGAN MATTRESS TO ITS PREVIOUSLY ALL-WOOL LINE. PETA KEPT THE PRESSURE ON CANADA GOOSE TO STOP USING FUR AND DOWN FEATHERS WITH DOZENS OF PROTESTS THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA, INCLUDING A FUR CRAWL, DIE-INS, AND OTHER CREATIVE VISUALS. PETA PLACED AN ENORMOUS WALLSCAPE BILLBOARD NEAR CANADA GOOSE'S FLAGSHIP STORE IN CHICAGO, RELEASED BILL MAHER'S "NEW RULES" VIDEO SLAMMING THE COMPANY FOR USING FUR AND DOWN FEATHERS, AND ORGANIZED MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE CANADA GOOSE VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING-DURING WHICH MODEL AND ACTOR IRELAND BASINGER-BALDWIN DEMANDED TO KNOW WHY THE COMPANY CONTINUES TO USE COYOTE FUR AND DOWN FEATHERS DESPITE KNOWING HOW ANIMALS SUFFER FOR THEM. PETA'S MULTIFACETED CAMPAIGN URGING FOREVER 21 TO BAN WOOL INCLUDED PROTESTS AT CHAIN LOCATIONS AROUND THE WORLD, OP-EDS PRINTED IN MULTIPLE NEWSPAPERS, AND OVER 60 COMPELLING ADS ON BILLBOARDS, BUSES, AND TAXIS ACROSS THE U.S., INCLUDING A "WOOL: THE NAKED TRUTH" BILLBOARD STARRING SUPERMODEL AND ACTOR JOANNA KRUPA IN TIMES SQUARE NEAR NEW YORK CITY'S LARGEST FOREVER 21 STORE. PETA COLLABORATED WITH MENSWEAR DESIGNER STEPHEN F ON A VEGAN, ECO-FRIENDLY MEN'S COLLECTION, AND THE EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE COUNCIL OF FASHION DESIGNERS OF AMERICA ASKED PETA TO SPEAK AT ITS ANNUAL FASHION EDUCATION SUMMIT, WHICH DREW 100 FASHION PROFESSORS FROM 19190505 721994 420217 RESEARCH, INVESTIGATIONS, AND RESCUES RECEIVING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO ANIMAL ABUSE AND NEGLECT EACH WEEK, PETA WORKS TO RESCUE ABUSED, NEGLECTED, AND AT-RISK ANIMALS AND TO ORGANIZE CARE FOR THEM. PETA ALSO INVESTIGATES CRUELTY CASES, CONDUCTS INVESTIGATIONS, GATHERS EVIDENCE OF LEGAL VIOLATIONS, AND TAKES ACTIONS TO ENSURE THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS. ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION INDUSTRY THROUGH THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT, PETA OBTAINED AND RELEASED VIDEO FOOTAGE REVEALING CRUEL AND SCIENTIFICALLY WORTHLESS PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS CONDUCTED ON MICE AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH (NIMH). THESE INCLUDE THE WIDELY DISCREDITED FORCED SWIM TEST, THE TAIL SUSPENSION TEST (IN WHICH MICE ARE HUNG UPSIDE DOWN BY THEIR TAILS), THE FOOT SHOCK TEST (IN WHICH MICE OR RATS ARE LOCKED INSIDE A CHAMBER WITH AN ELECTRIFIED GRID FLOOR AND SHOCKED), AND THE SOCIAL DEFEAT TEST (IN WHICH ANIMALS ARE PUT IN A SITUATION THAT COMPELS ONE TO ATTACK ANOTHER REPEATEDLY). PETA WROTE TO NIMH DIRECTOR JOSHUA GORDON DEMANDING THAT THE INSTITUTE STOP CONDUCTING AND FUNDING THESE TESTS AND REDIRECT FUNDS TO SUPERIOR, NON-ANIMAL RESEARCH METHODS THAT BENEFIT HUMANS. WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS IS UNDER INVESTIGATION AFTER A WHISTLEBLOWER INFORMED PETA OF ALLEGED NEGLECT, INCOMPETENCE, AND INDIFFERENCE TOWARD ANIMALS IN THE SCHOOL'S LABORATORIES, INCLUDING INSTANCES IN WHICH AN EXPERIMENTER PLAYED ON HIS PHONE AS A DOG WHO'D BEEN USED IN AN EXPERIMENTAL SURGERY HOWLED IN PAIN AND MICE WERE LEFT TO DROWN OR DIE OF HYPOTHERMIA AS THEIR FAULTY AND LEAKY WATER BOTTLES FLOODED THEIR CAGES. PETA FILED FORMAL COMPLAINTS CALLING ON THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION AND THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH'S OFFICE OF LABORATORY ANIMAL WELFARE TO INVESTIGATE. AFTER YEARS OF PUSHING FROM PETA, THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS APPROVED TWO MORE NON-ANIMAL METHODS FOR TESTING COSMETICS PRODUCTS IN CHINA: THE DIRECT PEPTIDE REACTION ASSAY FOR SKIN SENSITIZATION AND THE SHORT TIME EXPOSURE ASSAY FOR EYE IRRITATION. THESE METHODS WILL SPARE COUNTLESS ANIMALS THE AGONY OF SUBSTANCES BEING APPLIED TO THEIR EYES AND RUBBED ONTO THEIR SKIN. THIS MAJOR PROGRESS IS THANKS TO THE GROUNDBREAKING WORK OF THE EXPERT SCIENTISTS AND REGULATORY SPECIALISTS AT THE INSTITUTE FOR IN VITRO SCIENCES (IIVS), TO WHOM PETA GAVE INITIAL FUNDING TO PROVIDE CHINESE SCIENTISTS AND OFFICIALS WITH TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN USING MODERN, NON-ANIMAL METHODS. IN A PUSH FOR TRANSPARENCY ABOUT EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS, PETA FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS-AMHERST AFTER IT REFUSED TO RELEASE VIDEO RECORDS OF EXPERIMENTS ON MONKEYS DESPITE BEING INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY THE STATE. THE SCHOOL SETTLED, AGREEING TO PROVIDE PETA WITH ALL OF ITS VIDEOS OF PRIMATE EXPERIMENTS FROM A 17-YEAR STUDY EXAMINING WHY AND HOW MONKEYS CONFINED TO LABORATORY CAGES ENGAGE IN SELF-MUTILATION. TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY ALSO AGREED TO SETTLE TWO PETA LAWSUITS BY TURNING OVER PUBLIC RECORDS ABOUT THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF DOGS USED IN CRUEL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY EXPERIMENTS AS WELL AS INFORMATION ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE LABORATORY. THE PETA INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE CONSORTIUM LTD. (THE "SCIENCE CONSORTIUM"), OF WHICH PETA IS A MEMBER, CO-ORGANIZED A WORKSHOP AT WHICH GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY RESEARCHERS BRAINSTORMED THE BEST WAY TO REPLACE THE USE OF RABBITS AND HORSESHOE CRABS IN PAINFUL TESTS FOR FEVER-CAUSING CONTAMINANTS. THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM ALSO SPONSORED AND PRESENTED INFORMATION AT A WORKSHOP TO REPLACE THE KILLING OF AN ESTIMATED 50,000 TO 70,000 MICE EACH YEAR IN RABIES VACCINE TESTS. THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM PRESENTED SEVERAL EARLY-CAREER SCIENTIST AWARDS TO INNOVATIVE YOUNG RESEARCHERS ADVANCING NON-ANIMAL APPROACHES. THESE INCLUDE ONE TO A TOXICOLOGIST DEVELOPING A 3-DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF THE HUMAN LIVER TO REPLACE THE USE OF RATS IN LIVER-TOXICITY TESTING, ONE TO A RESEARCHER FROM ARGENTINA TO ATTEND A PRESTIGIOUS TOXICOLOGY WORKSHOP WHERE SHE RECEIVED TRAINING TO HELP HER ESTABLISH THE FIRST LABORATORY IN HER COUNTRY DEDICATED TO PROMOTING NON-ANIMAL TESTS, AND ONE TO A PH.D. STUDENT FROM THE NOVA UNIVERSITY OF LISBON TO ATTEND THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION'S JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE'S SUMMER SCHOOL?PROGRAM ON NON-ANIMAL TESTS. TEAMING UP WITH BIOTECH COMPANY EPITHELIX, THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM AWARDED INNOVATIVE RESEARCHERS WITH 10,000 WORTH OF FREE 3-DIMENSIONAL MODELS OF THE HUMAN RESPIRATORY TRACT. THESE MODELS, WHICH ARE MADE FROM HUMAN CELLS, CAN BE USED TO TEST COSMETICS, PHARMACEUTICALS, INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS, PESTICIDES, AND HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS WITHOUT USING ANIMALS. TO PREVENT RATS FROM BEING TRAPPED IN NARROW TUBES AND FORCED TO INHALE TOXIC SUBSTANCES FOR HOURS BEFORE BEING KILLED, THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM DONATED 50,000 IN EQUIPMENT TO IIVS. THE EQUIPMENT CAN BE USED TO TEST THE EFFECTS OF SUBSTANCES ON THE LUNGS AND YIELDS MORE HUMAN-RELEVANT RESULTS THAN THE USE OF RATS. THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM ORGANIZED A WEBINAR TO TRAIN TAIWANESE REGULATORS ON USING ANIMAL-FREE METHODS TO TEST FOR SKIN IRRITATION INSTEAD OF SMEARING TOXIC CHEMICALS ONTO ANIMALS' SKIN. MORE THAN 160 GOVERNMENT SCIENTISTS ATTENDED THE FREE WEBINAR, AND OTHER TAIWANESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN ATTENDING FUTURE WEBINARS. SEVERAL HUNDRED SCIENTISTS ALSO TUNED IN TO A WEBINAR PRESENTED BY THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM AND AN AGROCHEMICAL COMPANY ON TESTING THE EFFECTS OF CHEMICALS ON HUMAN LUNGS WITHOUT USING ANIMALS. AND THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM WORKED WITH THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) AND THE PHYSICIANS COMMITTEE FOR RESPONSIBLE MEDICINE TO ORGANIZE A SERIES OF WEBINARS ON NEW APPROACHES FOR TESTING CHEMICALS WITHOUT USING ANIMALS, REACHING HUNDREDS OF SCIENTISTS AND GOVERNMENT REGULATORS. THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL SOCIETY OF TOXICOLOGY CONFERENCE-THE LARGEST TOXICOLOGY CONFERENCE IN THE WORLD-AND WAS RECOGNIZED FOR A PAPER THAT IT HAD CO-AUTHORED ON TESTING THE EFFECTS OF INHALED SUBSTANCES ON THE LUNGS WITHOUT USING ANIMALS. COLLABORATING WITH THE EPA, THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM PUBLISHED A PAPER SHOWING THAT THE AGENCY CAN CONFIDENTLY ASSESS THE RISK OF PESTICIDES TO THE ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT POISONING BIRDS IN A CRUEL TEST. THIS TEST INVOLVES FEEDING BIRDS PESTICIDE-LACED FOOD FOR DAYS AND THEN MONITORING THEM FOR DISTRESS OR DEATH. THE EPA IS EXPECTED TO USE THE PAPER'S FINDINGS TO ALLOW COMPANIES TO SUBMIT A WAIVER FOR THIS TEST, SPARING HUNDREDS OF MALLARDS AND QUAILS EACH YEAR. PETA ALSO ADVOCATED FOR THE CALIFORNIA CRUELTY-FREE COSMETICS ACT, WHICH WAS PASSED AFTER A DEDICATED CAMPAIGN. ANIMALS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY A PETA EYEWITNESS EXPOS OF REITZ DAIRY FARM-A NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, FARM THAT KEPT APPROXIMATELY 300 ADULT COWS AND SCORES OF CALVES-REVEALED THAT COWS BEING MILKED WERE DENIED CARE FOR PAINFUL GRAPEFRUIT-SIZE MASSES THAT OOZED BLOOD AND PUS, WERE STRUCK OVER AND OVER ON THEIR SENSITIVE UDDERS, AND WERE FOUND LYING DEAD IN MANURE. A PETA EYEWITNESS INVESTIGATION INTO A FILTHY EGG FACTORY FARM NEAR SULPHUR, OKLAHOMA, THAT SUPPLIED EGGS TO COMPANIES INCLUDING THE KROGER CO.-WHICH SOLD THEM AS KROGER-BRAND EGGS-REVEALED THAT NEARLY 8,000 HENS SUFFERED AND DIED IN JULY AND AUGUST 2018, WHEN TEMPERATURES IN THE FARM'S SHEDS REACHED 106 DEGREES. OVER SEVERAL DAYS IN EARLY AUGUST, WORKERS YANKED MORE THAN 49,000 UNWANTED HENS OUT OF THEIR CAGES, BEAT THEIR HEADS AGAINST METAL BOXES, STUFFED THEM INSIDE THE BOXES, AND THEN CRUDELY GASSED THEM WITH CARBON DIOXIDE, WHICH CAN CAUSE EXTREME PAIN. COUNTLESS HENS SURVIVED THE ABUSE AND WERE THEN DUMPED INTO TRUCKS, SO THEY WERE BEATEN AGAIN WITH A PIECE OF WOOD OR SLAMMED AGAINST THE TRUCKS. THOSE WHO REMAINED ALIVE WERE LEFT TO DIE SLOWLY AND IN AGONY. IN A LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY PETA AND OTHERS, THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF IOWA STRUCK DOWN THE STATE'S "AG-GAG" LAW, WHICH CRIMINALIZED UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIONS OF FACTORY FARMS AND SLAUGHTERHOUSES. THE COURT AGREED THAT IT WAS AN UNLAWFUL RESTRICTION ON SPEECH AND VIOLATED THE FIRST AMENDMENT. IOWA IS NOW THE THIRD STATE, FOLLOWING UTAH AND IDAHO, WHOSE ATTEMPT TO PUNISH WITNESSES WHO EXPOSE ILLEGAL AND INHUMANE CONDUCT ON FACTORY FARMS WAS RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL. ANIMALS IN THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY PETA EXPOSED A SHEEP FARM IN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, REVEALING THAT THE FARM MANAGER AND WORKERS MUTILATED TERRIFIED LAMBS IN ASSEMBLY-LINE FASHION. AN EYEWITNESS WORKED FOR A SHEEP-SHEARING CONTRACTOR IN NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, AND FOUND THAT WORKERS STRUCK GENTLE, FRIGHTENED SHEEP IN THE FACE WITH SHARP METAL CLIPPERS-SHOWING, YET AGAIN, THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HUMANELY PRODUCED WOOL. ANIMALS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY A FEDERAL JUDGE FOR THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND ISSUED A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND RULING ON PETA'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, FINDING THAT TRI-STATE ZOOLOGICAL PARK'S FAILURE TO PROVIDE A NOW-DECEASED TIGER NAMED CAYENNE WITH ADEQUATE VETERINARY CARE HARMED HE 421266 CRUELTY-FREE MERCHANDISE PROGRAM PETA ENCOURAGES AND FACILITATES CRUELTY-FREE LIVING BY LETTING COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT AVAILABLE CONSUMER PRODUCTS-SUCH AS COSMETICS AND HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS THAT AREN'T TESTED ON ANIMALS, ANIMAL-CARE PRODUCTS, AND ANIMAL RIGHTS T-SHIRTS-INFORMATIONAL VIDEOS AND BOOKS, ANIMAL RESCUE EQUIPMENT, AND CAMPAIGN MATERIALS. SOME OF THESE ITEMS ARE SOLD ONLINE THROUGH THE PETA MALL AND THE PETA SHOP.

PETA PUBLISHES FACTSHEETS, BOOKLETS, FLIERS, POSTERS, AND A MAGAZINE CALLED PETA GLOBAL FOR THE PUBLIC AND THEIR SUPPORTERS. PETA'S CAMPAIGNS-WHICH REACH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND RECEIVE EXTENSIVE MEDIA COVERAGE-INVOLVE RENOWNED CELEBRITIES, INTERACTIVE SOCIAL NETWORKING, WEBSITE FEATURES, BLOG POSTS, AND PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS (PSAS), WHICH ARE TYPICALLY PLACED FOR FREE IN HIGH EXPOSURE OUTLETS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, PETA SECURED FREE ADVERTISING SPACE WORTH 680,858 AND LOGGED MORE THAN 4,200 INTERACTIONS WITH THE MEDIA, INCLUDING RADIO, TV, AND PRINT INTERVIEWS. PETA'S WEBSITES RECEIVED MORE THAN 91 MILLION PAGE- VIEWS, THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS RECEIVED OVER 2 BILLION IMPRESSIONS, AND VIDEOS WERE VIEWED OVER 498 MILLION TIMES. FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B INTERNATIONAL GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGNS PETA ORGANIZES CAMPAIGNS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE ABUSE AND KILLING OF ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION, FOOD, CLOTHING, AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES, AMONG OTHER INSTANCES IN WHICH THEY'RE TREATED CRUELLY. IN 2019, PETA ORGANIZED AND LED MORE THAN 3,400 DEMONSTRATIONS AND SENT OUT MILLIONS OF LETTERS THROUGH PETA'S ONLINE ADVOCACY CAMPAIGNS TO URGE COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE CHANGES THAT BENEFIT ANIMALS. TEACHKIND, PETA'S HUMANE EDUCATION DIVISION, PARTNERED WITH A SCHOOL DISTRICT IN RURAL MISSISSIPPI TO TRAIN TEACHERS IN HUMANE EDUCATION AND HELP THEM IMPLEMENT THEIR "SHARE THE WORLD" PROGRAM IN CLASSROOMS TO FOSTER EMPATHY FOR ALL SENTIENT BEINGS. PETA'S YOUTH DIVISION, PETA FUTURE, GAVE VEGAN DEMONSTRATIONS TO OVER 1,000 STUDENTS AND TOURED ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WITH CARLY THE LIFE-SIZE- ANIMATRONIC COW TO TEACH MORE THAN 13,000 CHILDREN HOW COWS SUFFER IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY AND DISTRIBUTE FREE VEGAN ICE CREAM. PETA FUTURE ALSO WORKED WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT CLUBS THROUGHOUT THE NATION TO HOLD TABLING EVENTS ON ISSUES INCLUDING SHOPPING CRUELTY-FREE, DISSECTION- CHOICE POLICIES, AND GETTING MORE VEGAN OPTIONS IN SCHOOL CAFETERIAS. AS PART OF THE HIGH SCHOOL NATION TOUR, PETA FUTURE BROUGHT THEIR "COMPASSION IS MAGICAL" MESSAGE TO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELDS ACROSS THE U.S. AND DISTRIBUTED OVER 100,000 COPIES OF THEIR "GUIDE TO GOING VEGAN," LOTS OF VEGAN FOOD SAMPLES, AND OTHER PRO-ANIMAL MATERIALS. PETA FUTURE'S CAMPUS REP NETWORK-THE LARGEST STUDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM OF ANY ANIMAL PROTECTION ORGANIZATION-HELPED STUDENTS TAKE NEARLY 1,400 ACTIONS FOR ANIMALS AT MORE THAN 100 COLLEGES. FOR EXAMPLE, THE REPS SCREENED ANIMAL RIGHTS FILMS, PROTESTED OUTSIDE CAMPUS LABORATORIES, CAMPAIGNED TO END SEAWORLD TICKET SALES, AND HOSTED VEGAN FOOD AND DRINK GIVEAWAYS. ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION INDUSTRY AFTER HEARING FROM PETA AND THEIR INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATES, PHARMACEUTICAL GIANTS BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM, ROCHE PHARMACEUTICALS, JOHNSON & JOHNSON, ABBVIE INC., AND DUTCH INGREDIENT MANUFACTURER DSM NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS ENDED THEIR USE OF THE CRUEL FORCED SWIM TEST, IN WHICH SMALL ANIMALS ARE DROPPED INTO INESCAPABLE BEAKERS OF WATER AND MUST FRANTICALLY SWIM TO KEEP FROM DROWNING. PETA PERSUADED DOZENS OF FOOD AND DRINK COMPANIES TO STOP ALL TESTS ON ANIMALS NOT REQUIRED BY LAW-MANY OF WHICH INVOLVED HARMFUL AND DEADLY PROCEDURES-AND/OR IMPLEMENT POLICIES AGAINST FUNDING OR CONDUCTING SUCH TESTS. SOME OF THESE COMPANIES INCLUDE THE HERSHEY COMPANY, LINDT & SPRNGLI, THE KELLOGG COMPANY, MCCAIN FOODS, THE CAMPBELL SOUP COMPANY, NISSIN FOODS HOLDINGS CO. (THE OWNER OF TOP RAMEN), SUNTORY HOLDINGS (WHOSE BRANDS INCLUDE JIM BEAM, MAKER'S MARK, CRUZAN RUM, AND HORNITOS TEQUILA), KIRIN HOLDINGS CO., AND THE MOLSON COORS BREWING COMPANY. TWO MAJOR PERSONAL-CARE BRANDS JOINED PETA'S BEAUTY WITHOUT BUNNIES LIST OF CRUELTY-FREE COMPANIES AFTER YEARS OF WORKING WITH US: PROCTER & GAMBLE'S ICONIC HERBAL ESSENCES BRAND AND DOVE-ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY AVAILABLE PERSONAL-CARE PRODUCT BRANDS IN THE WORLD. FOLLOWING TALKS WITH PETA, CINCINNATI CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER WILL NO LONGER USE ANIMALS DURING ITS ANNUAL PEDIATRIC FLEXIBLE BRONCHOSCOPY POSTGRADUATE COURSE. THIS WILL PREVENT CABLES FROM BEING INSERTED INTO THE THROATS AND LUNGS OF HUNDREDS OF LIVE CATS, MANY OF WHOM WOULD SUFFER FROM POSSIBLY PAINFUL AND SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS, INCLUDING RESPIRATORY DISTRESS AND CARDIAC ARREST. FOLLOWING A TWO-YEAR PETA CAMPAIGN TO END TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY'S CRUEL CANINE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY EXPERIMENTS, THE SCHOOL STOPPED BREEDING GOLDEN RETRIEVERS AND OTHER DOGS TO DEVELOP THE DEADLY DISEASE. PETA'S DETERMINED EFFORTS INCLUDED NUMEROUS BOLD PROTESTS, THREE LAWSUITS, A COMPLAINT TO THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL, MOBILE BILLBOARDS AND ADVERTISEMENTS, TV COMMERCIALS, SUCCESSFUL STUDENT PETITIONS, A BULK DELIVERY OF MORE THAN 40,000 POSTCARDS FROM PETA SUPPORTERS, MEDIA COVERAGE IN MAJOR OUTLETS, AND SUPPORT FROM MORE THAN 500 PHYSICIANS, SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS, AND CELEBRITIES, INCLUDING PAUL MCCARTNEY. FOR THE FIRST TIME, PETA TABLED AT BEAUTYCON-THE MASSIVE BEAUTY AND LIFESTYLE CONVENTION-IN BOTH NEW YORK CITY AND LOS ANGELES. MORE THAN 5,200 ATTENDEES SIGNED UP TO RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PETA AND PLEDGED TO SHOP CRUELTY-FREE. ANIMALS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY TO PROMOTE VEGAN EATING, PETA HELD MANY CREATIVE DEMONSTRATIONS AND PLACED BILLBOARDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY-INCLUDING IN STATES WHERE MILLIONS OF ANIMALS USED FOR FOOD DIED IN THE FLOODING CAUSED BY HURRICANE FLORENCE; AN "I'M ME, NOT MEAT" LOBSTER AD IN ADVANCE OF THE MAINE LOBSTER FESTIVAL; AND BILLBOARDS IN MEMORY OF THE THOUSANDS OF COWS, PIGS, CHICKENS, AND LOBSTERS WHO WERE INJURED OR KILLED IN TRANSPORT TRUCK CRASHES. FOR THANKSGIVING, PETA ARRANGED A DONATION OF 100 TOFURKY ROASTS FOR THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS TO DISTRIBUTE TO FAMILIES IN NEED, COORDINATED THE RESCUE OF 16 TURKEYS FROM A SLAUGHTERHOUSE, AND DONATED HUNDREDS OF POUNDS OF VEGAN FOODS TO A CHARITY AFTER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TOOK THEIR VEGAN "PERSUASION PLEDGE." FOR NATIONAL BURGER MONTH (MAY) AND NATIONAL HOT DOG MONTH (JULY), PETA RANKED THE TOP 10 VEGAN BURGERS AND THE TOP 10 VEGAN HOT DOGS, RESPECTIVELY, FROM RESTAURANTS AROUND THE COUNTRY. AFTER PETA ALERTED LAW ENFORCEMENT IN NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, TO A PLANNED ILLEGAL FOIE GRAS DINNER EVENT, IT WAS CANCELED. AND THANKS TO PETA'S PUSHING, SHAKE SHACK CANCELED PLANS TO SERVE FOIE GRAS AT A SPECIAL ONE-DAY EVENT AT ONE OF ITS LOCATIONS. FOLLOWING TALKS AND URGING FROM PETA, CHOBANI ADDED VEGAN YOGURTS, CARL'S JR. AND DEL TACO ADDED BEYOND MEAT PRODUCTS TO THEIR MENUS NATIONWIDE, AND BASKIN-ROBBINS RELEASED ITS FIRST VEGAN ICE CREAM FLAVORS. ANIMALS IN THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY FOLLOWING A STRONG, MONTHS-LONG PUSH BY PETA THAT INCLUDED THEIR ATTENDANCE AT MULTIPLE COMMITTEE MEETINGS, THE LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO BAN THE MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF FUR CITYWIDE. PETA ALSO STRONGLY SUPPORTED NEW YORK CITY'S PROPOSED BAN ON SELLING FUR- WITH OP-EDS BY ANJELICA HUSTON AND TIM GUNN, SUPPORT FROM MORRISSEY, DEMONSTRATIONS OF STEEL-JAW TRAPS, AND MORE. A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE BLOCKED CALIFORNIA'S SCHEDULED BAN ON IMPORTING AND SELLING CROCODILE AND ALLIGATOR SKINS AFTER JANUARY 1, 2020, FAILED, FOLLOWING WORK BY PETA. AFTER YEARS OF PETA PRESSURE, NUMEROUS DESIGNERS AND BRANDS BANNED FUR, INCLUDING PRADA, BURBERRY (WHICH ALSO BANNED ANGORA), DIANE VON FURSTENBERG (WHICH ALSO BANNED ANGORA AND EXOTIC SKINS), CHANEL (WHICH ALSO BANNED EXOTIC SKINS), COACH, AND JEAN PAUL GAULTIER (WHO ADMITTED THAT THE WAYS IN WHICH ANIMALS ARE KILLED FOR THEIR FUR ARE "DEPLORABLE"). IN LIGHT OF THEIR GROUNDBREAKING MOHAIR EXPOS, MORE THAN 330 BRANDS WORLDWIDE-INCLUDING RESTORATION HARDWARE, WILLIAMS SONOMA, BROOKS BROTHERS, AND RALPH LAUREN-HAVE BANNED THE MATERIAL. MULTIPLE COMPANIES BANNED BADGER HAIR FOLLOWING PETA'S VIDEO EXPOS OF CHINA'S BADGER-BRUSH INDUSTRY, INCLUDING PROCTER & GAMBLE'S THE ART OF SHAVING LINE, THE NEW YORK SHAVING COMPANY, BEAU BRUMMELL, AND CASWELL- MASSEY. IN RESPONSE TO THEIR QUESTION AT TESLA'S ANNUAL MEETING, CEO ELON MUSK CONFIRMED THAT THE COMPANY WILL REPLACE THE ANIMAL LEATHER THAT IT CURRENTLY USES FOR THE STEERING WHEELS OF ITS MODEL 3 WITH VEGAN MATERIAL- AND THAT ITS MODEL Y WILL BE FULLY VEGAN. IN OTHER VICTORIES FOR PETA'S FASHION CAMPAIGN, VICTORIA BECKHAM AND AHOLD DELHAIZE PLEDGED TO STOP USING EXOTIC SKINS, H&M BANNED "CONVENTIONAL" CASHMERE (THE ONLY KIND IT SELLS) FOLLOWING A MEETING WITH PETA, AND AFTER PETA INFORMED AVOCADO GREEN MATTRESS ABOUT SHOCKING, SYSTEMIC CRUELTY IN THE WOOL INDUSTRY, THE COMPANY ADDED A VEGAN MATTRESS TO ITS PREVIOUSLY ALL-WOOL LINE. PETA KEPT THE PRESSURE ON CANADA GOOSE TO STOP USING FUR AND DOWN FEATHERS WITH DOZENS OF PROTESTS THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA, INCLUDING A FUR CRAWL, DIE-INS, AND OTHER CREATIVE VISUALS. PETA PLACED AN ENORMOUS WALLSCAPE BILLBOARD NEAR CANADA GOOSE'S FLAGSHIP STORE IN CHICAGO, RELEASED BILL MAHER'S "NEW RULES" VIDEO SLAMMING THE COMPANY FOR USING FUR AND DOWN FEATHERS, AND ORGANIZED MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE CANADA GOOSE VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING-DURING WHICH MODEL AND ACTOR IRELAND BASINGER-BALDWIN DEMANDED TO KNOW WHY THE COMPANY CONTINUES TO USE COYOTE FUR AND DOWN FEATHERS DESPITE KNOWING HOW ANIMALS SUFFER FOR THEM. PETA'S MULTIFACETED CAMPAIGN URGING FOREVER 21 TO BAN WOOL INCLUDED PROTESTS AT CHAIN LOCATIONS AROUND THE WORLD, OP-EDS PRINTED IN MULTIPLE NEWSPAPERS, AND OVER 60 COMPELLING ADS ON BILLBOARDS, BUSES, AND TAXIS ACROSS THE U.S., INCLUDING A "WOOL: THE NAKED TRUTH" BILLBOARD STARRING SUPERMODEL AND ACTOR JOANNA KRUPA IN TIMES SQUARE NEAR NEW YORK CITY'S LARGEST FOREVER 21 STORE. PETA COLLABORATED WITH MENSWEAR DESIGNER STEPHEN F ON A VEGAN, ECO-FRIENDLY MEN'S COLLECTION, AND THE EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE COUNCIL OF FASHION DESIGNERS OF AMERICA ASKED PETA TO SPEAK AT ITS ANNUAL FASHION EDUCATION SUMMIT, WHICH DREW 100 FASHION PROFESSORS FROM FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C RESEARCH, INVESTIGATIONS, AND RESCUES RECEIVING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO ANIMAL ABUSE AND NEGLECT EACH WEEK, PETA WORKS TO RESCUE ABUSED, NEGLECTED, AND AT-RISK ANIMALS AND TO ORGANIZE CARE FOR THEM. PETA ALSO INVESTIGATES CRUELTY CASES, CONDUCTS INVESTIGATIONS, GATHERS EVIDENCE OF LEGAL VIOLATIONS, AND TAKES ACTIONS TO ENSURE THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS. ANIMALS IN THE EXPERIMENTATION INDUSTRY THROUGH THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT, PETA OBTAINED AND RELEASED VIDEO FOOTAGE REVEALING CRUEL AND SCIENTIFICALLY WORTHLESS PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS CONDUCTED ON MICE AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH (NIMH). THESE INCLUDE THE WIDELY DISCREDITED FORCED SWIM TEST, THE TAIL SUSPENSION TEST (IN WHICH MICE ARE HUNG UPSIDE DOWN BY THEIR TAILS), THE FOOT SHOCK TEST (IN WHICH MICE OR RATS ARE LOCKED INSIDE A CHAMBER WITH AN ELECTRIFIED GRID FLOOR AND SHOCKED), AND THE SOCIAL DEFEAT TEST (IN WHICH ANIMALS ARE PUT IN A SITUATION THAT COMPELS ONE TO ATTACK ANOTHER REPEATEDLY). PETA WROTE TO NIMH DIRECTOR JOSHUA GORDON DEMANDING THAT THE INSTITUTE STOP CONDUCTING AND FUNDING THESE TESTS AND REDIRECT FUNDS TO SUPERIOR, NON-ANIMAL RESEARCH METHODS THAT BENEFIT HUMANS. WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS IS UNDER INVESTIGATION AFTER A WHISTLEBLOWER INFORMED PETA OF ALLEGED NEGLECT, INCOMPETENCE, AND INDIFFERENCE TOWARD ANIMALS IN THE SCHOOL'S LABORATORIES, INCLUDING INSTANCES IN WHICH AN EXPERIMENTER PLAYED ON HIS PHONE AS A DOG WHO'D BEEN USED IN AN EXPERIMENTAL SURGERY HOWLED IN PAIN AND MICE WERE LEFT TO DROWN OR DIE OF HYPOTHERMIA AS THEIR FAULTY AND LEAKY WATER BOTTLES FLOODED THEIR CAGES. PETA FILED FORMAL COMPLAINTS CALLING ON THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION AND THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH'S OFFICE OF LABORATORY ANIMAL WELFARE TO INVESTIGATE. AFTER YEARS OF PUSHING FROM PETA, THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS APPROVED TWO MORE NON-ANIMAL METHODS FOR TESTING COSMETICS PRODUCTS IN CHINA: THE DIRECT PEPTIDE REACTION ASSAY FOR SKIN SENSITIZATION AND THE SHORT TIME EXPOSURE ASSAY FOR EYE IRRITATION. THESE METHODS WILL SPARE COUNTLESS ANIMALS THE AGONY OF SUBSTANCES BEING APPLIED TO THEIR EYES AND RUBBED ONTO THEIR SKIN. THIS MAJOR PROGRESS IS THANKS TO THE GROUNDBREAKING WORK OF THE EXPERT SCIENTISTS AND REGULATORY SPECIALISTS AT THE INSTITUTE FOR IN VITRO SCIENCES (IIVS), TO WHOM PETA GAVE INITIAL FUNDING TO PROVIDE CHINESE SCIENTISTS AND OFFICIALS WITH TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN USING MODERN, NON-ANIMAL METHODS. IN A PUSH FOR TRANSPARENCY ABOUT EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS, PETA FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS-AMHERST AFTER IT REFUSED TO RELEASE VIDEO RECORDS OF EXPERIMENTS ON MONKEYS DESPITE BEING INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY THE STATE. THE SCHOOL SETTLED, AGREEING TO PROVIDE PETA WITH ALL OF ITS VIDEOS OF PRIMATE EXPERIMENTS FROM A 17-YEAR STUDY EXAMINING WHY AND HOW MONKEYS CONFINED TO LABORATORY CAGES ENGAGE IN SELF-MUTILATION. TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY ALSO AGREED TO SETTLE TWO PETA LAWSUITS BY TURNING OVER PUBLIC RECORDS ABOUT THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF DOGS USED IN CRUEL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY EXPERIMENTS AS WELL AS INFORMATION ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE LABORATORY. THE PETA INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE CONSORTIUM LTD. (THE "SCIENCE CONSORTIUM"), OF WHICH PETA IS A MEMBER, CO-ORGANIZED A WORKSHOP AT WHICH GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY RESEARCHERS BRAINSTORMED THE BEST WAY TO REPLACE THE USE OF RABBITS AND HORSESHOE CRABS IN PAINFUL TESTS FOR FEVER-CAUSING CONTAMINANTS. THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM ALSO SPONSORED AND PRESENTED INFORMATION AT A WORKSHOP TO REPLACE THE KILLING OF AN ESTIMATED 50,000 TO 70,000 MICE EACH YEAR IN RABIES VACCINE TESTS. THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM PRESENTED SEVERAL EARLY-CAREER SCIENTIST AWARDS TO INNOVATIVE YOUNG RESEARCHERS ADVANCING NON-ANIMAL APPROACHES. THESE INCLUDE ONE TO A TOXICOLOGIST DEVELOPING A 3-DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF THE HUMAN LIVER TO REPLACE THE USE OF RATS IN LIVER-TOXICITY TESTING, ONE TO A RESEARCHER FROM ARGENTINA TO ATTEND A PRESTIGIOUS TOXICOLOGY WORKSHOP WHERE SHE RECEIVED TRAINING TO HELP HER ESTABLISH THE FIRST LABORATORY IN HER COUNTRY DEDICATED TO PROMOTING NON-ANIMAL TESTS, AND ONE TO A PH.D. STUDENT FROM THE NOVA UNIVERSITY OF LISBON TO ATTEND THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION'S JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE'S SUMMER SCHOOL?PROGRAM ON NON-ANIMAL TESTS. TEAMING UP WITH BIOTECH COMPANY EPITHELIX, THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM AWARDED INNOVATIVE RESEARCHERS WITH 10,000 WORTH OF FREE 3-DIMENSIONAL MODELS OF THE HUMAN RESPIRATORY TRACT. THESE MODELS, WHICH ARE MADE FROM HUMAN CELLS, CAN BE USED TO TEST COSMETICS, PHARMACEUTICALS, INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS, PESTICIDES, AND HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS WITHOUT USING ANIMALS. TO PREVENT RATS FROM BEING TRAPPED IN NARROW TUBES AND FORCED TO INHALE TOXIC SUBSTANCES FOR HOURS BEFORE BEING KILLED, THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM DONATED 50,000 IN EQUIPMENT TO IIVS. THE EQUIPMENT CAN BE USED TO TEST THE EFFECTS OF SUBSTANCES ON THE LUNGS AND YIELDS MORE HUMAN-RELEVANT RESULTS THAN THE USE OF RATS. THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM ORGANIZED A WEBINAR TO TRAIN TAIWANESE REGULATORS ON USING ANIMAL-FREE METHODS TO TEST FOR SKIN IRRITATION INSTEAD OF SMEARING TOXIC CHEMICALS ONTO ANIMALS' SKIN. MORE THAN 160 GOVERNMENT SCIENTISTS ATTENDED THE FREE WEBINAR, AND OTHER TAIWANESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN ATTENDING FUTURE WEBINARS. SEVERAL HUNDRED SCIENTISTS ALSO TUNED IN TO A WEBINAR PRESENTED BY THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM AND AN AGROCHEMICAL COMPANY ON TESTING THE EFFECTS OF CHEMICALS ON HUMAN LUNGS WITHOUT USING ANIMALS. AND THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM WORKED WITH THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) AND THE PHYSICIANS COMMITTEE FOR RESPONSIBLE MEDICINE TO ORGANIZE A SERIES OF WEBINARS ON NEW APPROACHES FOR TESTING CHEMICALS WITHOUT USING ANIMALS, REACHING HUNDREDS OF SCIENTISTS AND GOVERNMENT REGULATORS. THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL SOCIETY OF TOXICOLOGY CONFERENCE-THE LARGEST TOXICOLOGY CONFERENCE IN THE WORLD-AND WAS RECOGNIZED FOR A PAPER THAT IT HAD CO-AUTHORED ON TESTING THE EFFECTS OF INHALED SUBSTANCES ON THE LUNGS WITHOUT USING ANIMALS. COLLABORATING WITH THE EPA, THE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM PUBLISHED A PAPER SHOWING THAT THE AGENCY CAN CONFIDENTLY ASSESS THE RISK OF PESTICIDES TO THE ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT POISONING BIRDS IN A CRUEL TEST. THIS TEST INVOLVES FEEDING BIRDS PESTICIDE-LACED FOOD FOR DAYS AND THEN MONITORING THEM FOR DISTRESS OR DEATH. THE EPA IS EXPECTED TO USE THE PAPER'S FINDINGS TO ALLOW COMPANIES TO SUBMIT A WAIVER FOR THIS TEST, SPARING HUNDREDS OF MALLARDS AND QUAILS EACH YEAR. PETA ALSO ADVOCATED FOR THE CALIFORNIA CRUELTY-FREE COSMETICS ACT, WHICH WAS PASSED AFTER A DEDICATED CAMPAIGN.

OVER SEVERAL DAYS IN EARLY AUGUST, WORKERS YANKED MORE THAN 49,000 UNWANTED HENS OUT OF THEIR CAGES, BEAT THEIR HEADS AGAINST METAL BOXES, STUFFED THEM INSIDE THE BOXES, AND THEN CRUDELY GASSED THEM WITH CARBON DIOXIDE, WHICH CAN CAUSE EXTREME PAIN. COUNTLESS HENS SURVIVED THE ABUSE AND WERE THEN DUMPED INTO TRUCKS, SO THEY WERE BEATEN AGAIN WITH A PIECE OF WOOD OR SLAMMED AGAINST THE TRUCKS. THOSE WHO REMAINED ALIVE WERE LEFT TO DIE SLOWLY AND IN AGONY. IN A LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY PETA AND OTHERS, THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF IOWA STRUCK DOWN THE STATE'S "AG-GAG" LAW, WHICH CRIMINALIZED UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIONS OF FACTORY FARMS AND SLAUGHTERHOUSES. THE COURT AGREED THAT IT WAS AN UNLAWFUL RESTRICTION ON SPEECH AND VIOLATED THE FIRST AMENDMENT. IOWA IS NOW THE THIRD STATE, FOLLOWING UTAH AND IDAHO, WHOSE ATTEMPT TO PUNISH WITNESSES WHO EXPOSE ILLEGAL AND INHUMANE CONDUCT ON FACTORY FARMS WAS RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
