Dear, Viral moments, dramatic protests, and real wins for animals—PETA has been making waves everywhere from the Met Gala to the World Cup! Take a look at the creative actions that turned heads, sparked conversations, and helped advance animal advocacy. Met Gala Protest Puts Birds Front and Center Animal advocates crashed the Met Gala red carpet with a striking “bird” display reading: “Feathers: A Look That Kills.” The eye-catching action went viral and earned widespread coverage, including FOX News, and El Universal. PepsiCo Protest Targets Bull Exploitation Activists encased their feet in cement outside PepsiCo’s HQ, blocking the entrance for nearly two hours. Pepsi bottlers source sugar from suppliers in India where handlers beat and whip bulls and force them to drag illegally loaded carts with up to 8,000 pounds of sugarcane in extreme heat. The dramatic action led to arrests and major press coverage, including News 12, MSN, and the New York Post. Circus Drops Elephants After Pressure After mounting pressure from PETA, including PETA protests at every one of their stops, Jordan World Circus removed elephants from its performances! The campaign generated coverage from outlets including The Chronicle. The Unexpected TSA Delivery Making Headlines PETA supporters delivered suitcases of vegan food to TSA agents nationwide, turning a kindness-driven outreach into a media moment with coverage from People, and Patch. World Cup Activists Score Big for Animals Ahead of the World Cup, activists formed a body-painted pyramid in Mexico City with the message: “Score for Animals, Go Vegan!” The powerful visual earned international coverage, including Reuters’ “picture of the day.” Dolphin Defenders Rally Across the Nation PETA supporters rallied across multiple states to urge marine parks to stop dolphin breeding and exploitation. The protests drew strong public support and coverage from outlets including San Antonio Current. Grassroots activists have been keeping the pressure on Raising Cane’s and urging the company to add vegan chicken to the menu by protesting at the chain’s grand opening celebrations nationwide. These peaceful protests encourage the public to consider the chickens’ perspectives of the fast food chain’s rapid expansion. Your voice is powerful no matter where you are in your journey, and animals need that voice now more than ever. Whether you boost a post on social media or stand proudly at a protest, every action strengthens the fight for compassion.
