Coach Confronted With a Bloody Display
Activists across the country rallied on Free the Animals Friday, sending a powerful message to Coach about its role in animal abuse and environmental destruction. Demonstrations were held outside Coach stores, and just weeks earlier, PETA supporters made a bold statement during Coach’s virtual shareholder meeting, using megaphones, whistles, and paint markers to expose the brand’s cruelty linked to leather production.

Shriners Face PETA’s Massive Elephant Prop Over Circus Cruelty
On the move across East Texas, PETA activists targeted the Sharon Shrine Circus with a striking 20-foot inflatable elephant, scarred with gashes and tear stains, chained to a sign reading, “Elephants Beaten and Chained for Shrine Circuses.” As the circus made its way from town to town, PETA supporters distributed informative leaflets and colorful booklets to educate families about the harsh realities of circus animal abuse.

Praying to End Bullfighting!


In honor of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, PETA supporters gathered outside churches in Boston and Newark, praying for an end to bullfighting. Their peaceful protests called on the church to take a stand against this cruel practice, aligning with the compassionate teachings of Saint Francis. Many churchgoers agreed, and some vowed to take the message to their local church officials.

“Pigs” Arrested for Disrupting an ASPCA and HSUS Event
PETA made waves at the ASPCA’s Annual Humane Awards Luncheon and the HSUS To The Rescue Gala, highlighting the hypocrisy of these organizations for supporting factory farming through affiliations with the Global Animal Partnership (GAP). Activists dressed as pigs were arrested during the protests, amplifying their message against deceptive welfare certifications and corporate ties to the meat industry.

Moms Arrested for Taking Action for Cows!
At the Every Woman’s Marathon and Wellness Fair & Expo, which was sponsored by the dairy industry, PETA supporters—many of them mothers—demanded justice for mother cows. Their bold actions, which included a peaceful protest and several arrests, garnered significant media attention from NBC, CBS, and local outlets like Savannah Now, bringing much-needed visibility to the cause.

Hell on Wheels Turkey Truck Steered the Wheel Toward Kindness!
Ahead of Thanksgiving, PETA’s Hell on Wheels turkey truck embarked on a nationwide tour, aiming to expose the horrors of factory farming.
