Two studies released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveal that many thousands of Americans are testing positive for alpha-gal syndrome each year. The condition—which can develop after someone is bitten by a lone star tick—can cause allergic reactions in humans who ingest meat, dairy, or anything else taken from fellow mammals. According to reports, 149 people on Martha’s Vineyard alone have been afflicted with alpha-gal syndrome so far in 2024. In response, PETA is donating copies of our Lone Star Tick Cookbook to public libraries on the island to help everyone take a bite out of delicious vegan cuisine. This special cookbook helps people with alpha-gal syndrome discover hearty and delicious vegan recipes that will satisfy even the staunchest former meat-eaters and help reduce the number of animals killed for food each year. https://lnkd.in/eMqACAdr #lonestartick #allergies #vegan #govegan #cookbook #PETA #animals #notours2eat #plantsaremagic #foodjustive #livevegan

Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.
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 Humane Society of the United States recently tried to justify itself after our recent petition asking it and other animal welfare groups to distance themselves from the Global Animal Partnership racked up tens of thousands of signatures in a matter of days. The Global Animal Partnership is a group that basically launders the reputations of factory farms and misleads consumers. No amount of hand-waving or nuance can excuse the fact that the Global Animal Partnership’s sham certification program, which has the Humane Society of the United States and other animal welfare organizations on its board, gives factory farms a free marketing plug. Here’s the point-by-point explanation of why the Humane Society of the United States’ “broader context” doesn’t mean anything for animals suffering on factory farms. https://lnkd.in/eDpPKbaj #petition #AnimalWelfare #animals #suffering #FactoryFarms #advocate #AnimalRights #GoVegan #LiveVegan #NotOurs2Use #cruelty #AnimalLiberation

The ultimate UGG of choice for friendly fall fashionistas is finally here! The long-awaited, first-ever vegan UGG boots have launched in a collaboration between UGG and New York–based clothing label Collina Strada. The UGG x Collina Strada boots embrace the future of fashion, featuring innovative, animal-free materials made from sugarcane, TENCEL, and recycled polyester microfiber. The launch of this entirely vegan line comes after PETA, peta2, and thousands of our compassionate supporters pressured UGG to stop using shearling and wool stolen from gentle sheep. As we’ve pointed out to the company, workers castrate, mutilate, and violently kill sensitive sheep before they’re stripped of their wool and skin. https://lnkd.in/ekDVTVRW #huge #news #vegan #boots #fashion #FallFashion #WearVegan #NotOurs2Wear #VeganFashion #WearYourOwnSkin #LiveVegan #AnimalRights

The secret is out: Victoria’s Secret has finally earned its wings from PETA! After months of exchanges with PETA about the cruel ways birds are raised and killed for their feathers, Victoria’s Secret has confirmed that it will use only beautiful handcrafted faux feathers for the models’ Angel wings at its upcoming fashion show, which will feature performances by Tyla, Lisa of Blackpink, and headliner Cher. We’re tickled pink that the return of Victoria’s Secret’s iconic fashion show will reflect modern values by ditching cruelly obtained feathers for dazzling designs that no bird had to suffer for. This bombshell announcement follows three months of communication with PETA, during which we detailed the cruelty inherent in the feather industry. https://lnkd.in/eC2H_wqe #FeatherFree #CrueltyFree #PETA #Victory #VeganFashion #NotOurs2Use #NotOurs2Wear #NoExcuse4AnimalAbuse #AnimalRights #AnimalJustice

You won't believe the cruelty to the camels and horses that are used in the tourist trade in Egypt. PETA's Jason Baker talks about the bloody animals he saw in Giza that made him realize the need to prioritize the camels that cater to tourists in Egypt. Don't ride camels in Egypt. See why. https://lnkd.in/gRhbassM #tourism #animalcruelty #animalsafety #animalrights #Egypt #podcast #applepodcast #spotifypodcast #Giza #camels #animalwelfare #animalactivism #activism #activist #howtohelp

PETA has been saying this loud and clear for all to hear: Sepsis experiments on animals are cruel and utterly useless for understanding the deadly condition in humans. We have plastered it on placards, bombarded officials with hundreds of thousands of e-mails, shared video messages from humans who nearly died of sepsis, and filed a landmark lawsuit to get someone in power to pay attention. Now government officials are finally listening. Please take action by telling NIH to halt its funding for all cruel and pointless sepsis experiments on animals! https://lnkd.in/eUVMpPzn #experiments #cruel #cruelty #action #TakeAction #NotOurs2Use #NotAnExperiment #pointless #activist #activism #AnimalRights #AnimalLiberation
