Cows, chickens, and all other animals are intelligent, emotionally complex individuals, just like us.
Cows are gentle giants who mourn the deaths of loved ones, sometimes shedding tears over their loss. Imagine a mother’s grief when farmers steal her babies.
Chickens love their families. They would rather create their own social structures than be crammed together with hundreds of other suffering birds.
Their lives are important to them. We owe it to our fellow sentient beings to end our speciesism and afford them respect and dignity.
PETA encourages people to support businesses in their communities while fighting cruelty to animals and human health problems on a global scale. As 75% of emerging diseases—including COVID-19—are linked to eating animals, preventing future pandemics is as simple as opting for a delicious vegan doughnut over a dairy-coated one made with eggs stolen from chickens.

Collins, a vocal member of the Christian community, has even written a book, The Language of God, on how religion can inform scientific progress. So LAMBS is reaching out to remind him of something he may have forgotten: Jesus told us to “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” He was so adamant about this lesson that He said it twice, in Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:12.
It’s doubtful that Collins would want NIH experimenters to saw open his head, inject toxins into his brain, vacuum or burn part of it out, shove him into a cramped black box, and torment him with all the things he’s most afraid of, just to see how he’ll react, then kill him. Yet he keeps funding NIH experimenter Elisabeth Murray to do exactly that to monkeys—our closest relatives. She alleges that her experiments shed light on human neuropsychiatric disorders, but they don’t. She has spent tens of millions in taxpayer dollars terrorizing monkeys and has not produced one single treatment or cure for humans in 30 years.
LAMBS is urging Collins to show mercy to these animals, who are also part of God’s precious creation, and end these abusive, useless, deadly experiments now. In its letter, LAMBS reminds him:
Christian theology has long recognized our God-granted dominion over the Earth not as authorization to exploit other sentient beings but as a sacred duty to be loving stewards of His creation. Jesus teaches in Matthew 25:40, “As you did it to one of the least of these, my brethren, you did it to me.” We were created in God’s loving image (Genesis 1:27; 1 John 4:8), and thus, we’re called to show love to the world and all His creatures. Surely, Jesus considered our treatment of animals when He said, “Blessed are the merciful” (Matthew 5:7).
LAMBS is asking our fellow Christians to join us and follow Jesus’ example of compassion and mercy by respectfully requesting that Collins use his authority to end these experiments today.

Talk about “Remarkable Discoveries About Animals”—in Animalkind, PETA founder and President Ingrid Newkirk and bestselling author Gene Stone introduce readers to “screeching barn owls” and explain who these amazing animals are, in addition to why they deserve our respect. Join us in diving deeper into the fascinating lives of barn owls and discover how simple it is for us all to coexist peacefully.
Barn owls are just like us.
These birds of prey are highly sensitive and intelligent creatures who have complex communication systems and cooperative social structures.
The city you call home might be home to barn owls, too.
These nocturnal birds form communities all over the U.S., not just in barns. They can be found in grasslands, forests, and even cities.
Barn owls are committed lovers.
Pairs of male and female barn owls often mate for life. They regularly use the same nest site every year and have elaborate courtship rituals—such as courtship flights, calls, and offerings of food—to reestablish their pair bond every spring. Adults live in home ranges that overlap with those not only of their mate but also of other individuals and pairs of owls, and they can extend for miles.

Young barn owls are endearingly peaceful.
Despite the sharp point of their downward curved bill and their weapon-like claws, barn owlets (baby barn owls) are nonviolent, altruistic, family-oriented animals. Barn owl siblings get along perhaps better than most human siblings do—they clean and feed each other and huddle together to stay warm. They even negotiate who in the nest will get the food their mom or dad is about to bring them in the most amicable way, by deciding among themselves who is the hungriest based on whoever emits the neediest call.
Barn owl siblings: “You scratch my back—I’ll scratch yours.”
Barn owls who are fed and preened by a sibling are more likely to feed and preen that brother or sister.
Bigotry begins when categories such as race, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or species are used to justify discrimination. Join the Movement
Like humans, barn owls can be fearful, shy, or outgoing—or the opposite!
Barn owl mothers and fathers can differ in their responsiveness to their offspring begging for food, as one parent or the other shows a stronger tendency to feed the begging offspring.

Barn owls talk the talk.
As explained in Animalkind, barn owls’ screeches serve a purpose. These birds express their needs and desires to each other through their own language, consisting of a variety of complex, context-specific sounds. As described above, even nestlings will vocally communicate to one another about their relative hunger.
Bird brain? What a compliment.
Owls are among the rapidly increasing number of bird species that researchers have observed using tools in their natural habitat—for example, collecting dung and using it as bait to attract beetles, a favorite source of food.
Engineers look at barn owls with envy.
Thanks to their special feathers, these amazing animals fly silently. Because of their unique wing structure, they alter air turbulence during flight and make virtually no sound—something engineers try to achieve when designing turbines and aircrafts.
Sharing is caring.
According to some bird-appreciation sites, barn owls have been known to share their nest with other species, a noteworthy phenomenon among animals in nature.
Barn owls are not ours.
Perhaps the most important fact that you’ll learn about these birds is this: Those who are bred and reared in laboratories have individual worth and needs, just like all animals.

“Revolutionary New Ways to Show Them Compassion” is the latter half of the subtitle of Newkirk and Stone’s Animalkind. While not necessarily new or revolutionary, there is one very simple thing that we can do to show these animals compassion: not experiment on them. Yet at Johns Hopkins University (JHU), experimenter Shreesh Mysore holds barn owls captive in his laboratory, cuts into their skulls, pokes electrodes around in their brains, forces them to watch dots on a screen, and eventually kills them—all so he can supposedly learn something about humans with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

“Talk Like a Pirate” Day
“Hug a Shed and Take a Selfie” Day
“Sneak Some Zucchini Into Your Neighbor’s Porch” Day (We actually support this one because it’s vegan!)
Out of all the ridiculous “days” that pop up on social media throughout the year, it’s National Cheese Day that really makes us gag—because cheese is essentially moldy stomach lining, and like all animal-derived dairy products, it contains pus from cows whose udders get bacterial infections when they’re treated like milk machines by the dairy industry. Cows are loving mothers who celebrate the birth of their calves and express anxiety and sorrow when they’re separated. In the dairy industry, cows’ milk and babies are stolen from them so that humans can consume dairy “products.” In addition to being extraordinarily cruel, this is also extremely unhealthy for humans and terrible for the environment.
Despite the myths some folks like to believe, vegans are in no way deprived of indulgences. In fact, there are more vegan cheese options than ever before, as major chains from Whole Foods to Trader Joe’s now carry an abundance of vegan brands.
To celebrate National [Vegan] Cheese Day PETA-style, we’re drawing inspiration from some of the most beautiful and beloved figures in Hollywood, sports, and music who will be opting for only animal-free cheese, today and all the other days of the year.
Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman is one of Hollywood’s most dedicated vegans, and she loves sharing healthy, animal-friendly recipes on her popular Instagram account:
Tabitha Brown
The queen of TikTok and of our hearts, Tabitha Brown shows her millions of social media followers just how easy and delicious eating vegan can be. Check out her easy recipe for a vegan sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich:
Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara
Two of Hollywood’s biggest talents on screen, this vegan pair often use their time off screen to speak up for animal rights (see, for instance, Phoenix’s epic Oscar acceptance speech calling out the dairy industry):
Jermaine Dupri
This hip-hop legend goes above and beyond when it comes to encouraging his family, friends, and fans to go vegan:
Jessica Chastain
This A-lister has been cheese-free for over 14 years and even managed to get her mother to go vegan after she saw how great it made her feel:
will.i.am
The founding member of The Black Eyed Peas calls himself “violently vegan” and has even started dropping vegan references in his latest tracks:

New Brunswick, N.J. – A whistleblower has leaked disturbing evidence to PETA that Rutgers University suspended all “non-critical” research activities and implemented a five-stage COVID-19 response plan that involves the euthanasia of animals confined or used in the school’s laboratories.
PETA fired off a letter today to Rutgers President Robert Barchi demanding to know why the school conducts noncritical animal experiments. The group is also asking the public to e-mail the university via this action alert to urge it to be transparent regarding the number of animals it deems non-essential and euthanizes in response to COVID-19 and to stop all current and new animal experiments.
“Rutgers University’s use of intelligent and sensitive animals in experiments as though they were nothing more than disposable laboratory equipment is shameful,” says PETA Vice President Shalin Gala. “The COVID-19 pandemic should be a moral and scientific reckoning for the school, which conducts deadly experiments on animals it keeps inside small steel cages. If it can’t prove that the animals used in its experiments are essential—and its response to the pandemic indicates that they’re not—it must not be permitted to continue squandering taxpayer money on animal tests once the pandemic is over.”
Numerous published studies have shown that animal experimentation wastes resources and lives, as more than 90% of highly promising results from basic scientific research—much of it involving animal testing—fail to lead to treatments for humans.
