Breaking News: PETA Investigation Forces Closure of Animal Testing Lab!



Dear Friend,

I'd like to share some exciting news about a historic victory for animals in laboratories! Just one week after PETA released the results of its shocking undercover investigation at the North Carolina contract animal testing facility Professional Laboratory and Research Services, Inc. (PLRS)—which uncovered workers' appalling abuse and neglect of dogs, cats, and rabbits tormented in tests for flea and tick products—and filed a 70-page formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) alleging violations of the Animal Welfare Act, PLRS  is shutting its doors for good and surrendering more than 200 dogs and cats left at the facility to animal shelters.

PETA's investigation revealed that dogs, cats, and rabbits abused by PLRS suffered from untreated illnesses, injuries, and burns and that many animals were covered with sores that were likely caused by poor housing, stress, and boredom. PETA's investigator also documented that PLRS employees kicked, threw, grabbed, dropped, and dragged dogs; roughly grabbed and lifted rabbits by their ears; and violently threw and slammed cats into cages.

Thanks to the tremendous outcry of tens of thousands of PETA members and supporters, these mistreated animals will now finally get the veterinary care and loving homes that they deserve.

As wonderful as this historic victory is, there is still more that can be done for animals in laboratories right now, including the following:


Thank you for everything that you do for animals!

Sincerely,

Kathy Guillermo
Vice President
Laboratory Investigations Department
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
