I serve as Vice President of laboratory investigations cases at PETA. I believe in human dignity, animal rights, & environmental protection. The rest is noise.

@CBSLosAngeles Harming vulnerable individuals--the elderly, children, animals--is a special kind of evil. The authorities must investigate and throw the book at the people responsible for these horrors.

.@HHSGov is delivering on another @POTUS priority: advancing animal welfare. @NIH is putting $150 million behind human-based research to reduce reliance on animal models. Thank you @peta for supporting the Trump administration's goal of ending animal cruelty.

Science Advancement and Outreach is a division of women in a larger organization run by women, in a movement primarily led by women. Yesterday was #InternationalWomensDay, and we’re proud that women are leading the charge toward the future of science, innovation, and animal protection. Particularly in fields where women have been historically underrepresented. Every day, our team works to advance cutting‑edge, non-animal research; challenge outdated systems; collaborate with scientists, educators, and policy makers; and open doors for modern, humane science. We are proud to contribute to a movement shaped by feminine vision and female leadership: ♀️ Women who push for progress ♀️ Women who challenge the status quo ♀️ Women who demand evidence-based change ♀️ Women who speak up for the vulnerable ♀️ Women who mentor the next generation of scientists and advocates To all the women in science, advocacy, and research who are driving meaningful transformation: we’re grateful to work alongside you. A belated Happy International Women’s Day from the women of @SAOscience 🩵 - Emily Trunnell, PhD; Kati Bertrand, MS; Donya Mand, MD; and Gabby Vidaurre, PhD #WomensDay #WomeninScience #WomeninSTEM

@ichoosemag It's heartbreaking that humans have bred dogs to have flat faces (and, as a result, impaired breeding). To breed dogs to have a certain appearance when it results in physiological harm is unacceptable.

It appears @PETA is making progress in it's mission to shut down @NIH monkey experiments in Oregon. After hearing over the last year from state legislators, PETA, tens of thousands of Oregonians, and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Board of Directors today unanimousely passed a resolution authorizing negotiations with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to end all experiments on monkeys and transition the federally funded Oregon National Primate Research Center into a sanctuary, a move that would mark a revolution in progressive science and animal welfare. PETA says the primate center, which currently kills some 1,300 monkeys a year in experiments but breeds to keep the total number at 5,000, will stop breeding monkeys as OHSU devises a plan to end 60 years of much-criticized tests in which experimenters forcefully pumped nicotine into monkeys, addicted monkeys to alcohol, fed pregnant monkeys junk food diets and then forcibly removed from them and killed their babies, and repeatedly, painfully electro-ejaculated male monkeys, causing decades of suffering. “This is a glorious day for monkeys and for science,” says PETA Senior Vice President @kathygfrompeta “Research has moved beyond monkey experiments and into cutting-edge science with AI, organs-on-chips, and more, and PETA thanks OHSU president Dr. Shereef Elnahal, the board of directors, and NIH for shifting toward human-based technologies, while still caring for the monkeys who remain at the primate center.”

How PETA’s Unstoppable Campaign is Turning the Oregon National Primate Research Center into a Haven: After intense pressure from us, Oregonians, & state legislators, @OHSUNews is negotiating with the U.S. government to end all experiments on monkeys at the ONPRC & turn it into a sanctuary. Celebrate this win for science & primates, & see how we got it done.

@aseitzwald The science on the matter is clear: Lobsters feel pain and suffer. In light of this, shouldn't we evolve as a society and realize that it's wrong to boil them alive? It seems anyone with a conscience would find the practice objectionable.

You'll be shocked to hear that a Maine judge was not convinced by PETA's argument that the Lobster Festival should not be allowed to serve live boiled lobsters because it upsets their members. midcoastvillager.com/news/waterfron…

@abplive Spaying and neutering community dogs makes fiscal sense and is also the more compassionate approach to the issue. Cows similarly deserve love and respect; not to be imprisoned in facilities for which there is no money for humane care.
