Get Active

Turn your love for animals into action against vivisection.

• Purchase only cruelty-free products and donate only to health charities that never fund animal experiments.
  
  
• Boycott Iams and other pet food companies that conduct cruel nutritional tests on dogs and cats and support forward-thinking companies that conduct humane home testing or laboratory analysis of foods. Learn what you can do to help animals in Iams laboratories.
  
  
• Contact medical schools that use animals for "education" and ask them to eliminate live-animal labs from their curricula.
  
  
• Help stop the animal abuse at Columbia University, where baboons are subjected to invasive surgeries and left to suffer and die in cages without any painkillers.
  
  
• Find out what you can do to stop the cruel spinal experiments performed on cats and rats at Palmer Chiropractic University. If you are an employee of Palmer Chiropractic University and have witnessed extreme cruelty to animals there, please report what you saw.
  
  
• Become a behind-the-scenes hero for animals! PETA is always looking for undercover investigators.
  
  
• If you have witnessed cruelty in any other laboratory, please report what you saw.
  
  
• Refuse to contribute to charities such as Environmental Defense, the World Wildlife Fund, and the Natural Resources Defense Council, which, surprisingly, push for increased animal testing by the Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies. Read our complete list of "mean greenies."
  
  
• Write your representatives in Congress to demand that humane alternatives to animal experiments be used. Refer to PETA's helpful guide to writing effective letters.
  
  
• Read PETA's factsheet on alternatives to animal testing and learn how you can help animals who are used for experimentation.
