1. Utah Hospital Drops Cruel Cat Lab | From PETA
We are very happy to report that as a result of pressure from PETA and more than 25,000 of our supporters, Utah’s Primary Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) has announced that it is canceling plans to torment cats in a cruel and archaic training exercise!
As it had in previous years, PCMC planned to offer this animal lab as part of an annual conference that is co-sponsored by the University of Utah. The cats—who would have been purchased from a local animal shelter—were slated to have hard plastic tubes forced down their windpipes and likely would have suffered bleeding, swelling, scarring, and even collapsed lungs. But thanks to the efforts of PETA supporters who took part in a short but vigorous campaign, the cats will now be spared this trauma, and the conference will only use modern simulators for the training.
Since last week, tens of thousands of compassionate people responded to PETA’s e-mail action alert targeting PCMC, and hundreds posted comments on PCMC’s wall on Facebook (prompting the hospital to shut down the page entirely). The owner of Salt Lake City’s all-vegan Cakewalk Baking Company even made and hand-delivered a cake to PCMC’s CEO in protest of the inhumane exercise.
This morning, we asked supporters to call PCMC and urge officials to do the right thing by calling off this exercise. Hundreds did just that, and some of you may have heard the news directly that PCMC was scrapping plans for this cruel laboratory.
While we are thrilled to celebrate this important victory for animals, we ask that you please take a moment to speak out against the cruel actions of North Utah Valley Animal Shelter (NUVAS)—the last shelter in Utah that continues to sell animals for experiments and the facility that would have provided cats to PCMC. PETA’s successes depend on your willingness to take action. Let’s keep the momentum going!

2. Urge Tiffany & Co. to Ditch Exotic Skins | From PETA
Ever year, millions of snakes, lizards, alligators, and crocodiles are beaten and stabbed to death and even skinned alive for their skin. PETA’s undercover exposé shows that live snakes are nailed to trees by their heads and skinned alive. Alligators and crocodiles live in cramped, filthy conditions before they are beaten or stabbed to death. According to wildlife biologist Clifford Warwick, most lizards are still alive as the skin is ripped from their bodies. Despite knowing about the cruelty that goes into each bag and wallet made from exotic skins, Tiffany & Co. continues to support this cruel industry.
After receiving video footage from PETA, retail giants around the world, including H&M and Victoria’s Secret, have implemented policies banning the use of exotic skins. Because of the inherent cruelty of the industry, many designers, such as Stella McCartney and Marc Bouwer, refuse to use exotic-animal skins.
Please use the form HERE to politely ask Tiffany & Co. to adopt a policy against selling products made from the skins of exotic animals.
