You've never seen anything like this before—and you might be footing the bill for it.

A shocking PETA eyewitness investigation reveals that workers violently handled monkeys and systemically neglected them at Primate Products, Inc. (PPI), in Hendry County, Florida, a primate dealer that sells monkeys to laboratories and has been awarded federal contracts worth more than $13 million—including by the National Institutes of Health, the Army, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. PPI also sends monkeys to Columbia and New York universities, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Maryland School of Medicine, SNBL USA, and Charles River Laboratories International, Inc., among others.

Big Boy was one of a group of 11 pigs whom PETA fieldworkers stumbled upon while delivering straw bedding and doghouses to needy dogs in rural North Carolina. The pigs' living conditions were appalling: Their dilapidated makeshift pen was filthy and so littered with discarded wood, tin roofing, and other junk that the pigs had trouble walking around. Their accumulated waste was attracting biting flies, and the pigs had no water or shelter from the scorching sun.

A sanctuary in Maryland was able to accommodate most of the pigs—but Big Boy, being, well, big and a boy, was trickier to place. We recently located the perfect place for him—a sanctuary where he would be in the company of other big boys: The Pig Preserve in Jamestown, Tennessee. 

Rescued Ducklings Swim for the First Time

Watching these two ducklings swim for the first time will leave you quacking with joy.

It's never a good idea to give an animal as a gift: Just ask Harry and Houdini. A man gave the pair of ducklings to his wife as Valentine's Day gifts. Like many people who receive animals as gifts, she had no idea how to care for them—so Harry and Houdini sat, day after day, in a plastic crate in the couple's living room. For two weeks, the ducklings never swam in a pond or saw the open sky—they never even left the crate, which grew filthier every day.

But finally, the woman called PETA and asked us to take the ducklings. When we arrived to rescue them, their tiny crate was covered with a two-week build-up of their own waste. But with the help of the Virginia Beach SPCA, we freed them from the filthy crate, cleaned them up, and gave them space to spread their wings—and soon they were off to their permanent home at a peaceful vegetarian farm in the country.
