PETA went inside a puppy mill in the Philippines. What investigators found was disturbing. 💔 Behind the walls of this unlicensed kennel in Bulacan, PETA investigators found approximately 100 dogs confined for breeding. Wild animals, including monkeys, eagles, pythons, iguanas, and civet cats, were also being illegally confined in small cages, surrounded by the constant barking of dogs suffering from stress and isolation. Their lives were being exploited for profit. 😔🦅 The business has been operating without the required permit. PETA reported it to authorities, and it has now been ordered to shut down. Never buy animals. Adopt, don’t shop. – at Bulacan, Central Luzon

Dam Ngao died the way he lived: confined to concrete at Pata Zoo in Bangkok after more than 40 years in captivity, where he spent his days pacing back and forth instead of foraging, exploring, and roaming as bears naturally do. 😔💔 PETA is calling on the zoo to release the animals who remain to reputable sanctuaries before they, too, die in barren cages without ever knowing the freedom to simply live like the animals they are. 📧 Please join us in urging Pata Zoo’s director to accept PETA’s offer and send the remaining animals to reputable sanctuaries before it's too late: secure.petaasia.com/page/583… – at Thailand

PETA’s investigation into South African ostrich farms exposes the horrors of the ostrich feather trade—from painful live plucking to violent slaughter—and how the feather industry lies about the violence used to obtain them 💔 A farmer named @Hermes, @Dior, @LouisVuitton, and @Prada as buyers of feathers.👉 Urge fashion designers to ban ostrich feathers now: peta.asia/1dd

🐾 Animals belong in emergency plans too!  PETA has written to Thailand’s Prime Minister, urging authorities to ensure people and their animal companions can evacuate and shelter together whenever possible 🐶🐱  🚨 “Helping animals evacuate is not a distraction from saving people—it is often an essential part of it.” When disaster strikes, people may refuse to leave without their beloved companions—putting both human and animal lives at risk. The appeal follows PETA’s recent donation of more than a ton of food for dogs and cats affected by flooding around Bangkok. ❤️🐾

📍Cebu, Philippines - African swine fever is leading to mass culling operations across Cebu, with pigs often killed and buried en masse to contain outbreaks. But these animals are victims long before disease strikes. In his statement, PETA Asia President Jason Baker says: “African swine fever is a death sentence for countless pigs in Cebu, but the real tragedy is that these sensitive, intelligent individuals were already condemned to lives of confinement and misery in the meat industry before the outbreak began. Whether they die from disease, mass culling, or at the slaughterhouse, pigs pay the price for a system that treats living, feeling beings as products. PETA urges everyone to help end this cycle of suffering by choosing delicious vegan foods and leaving pigs off their plates.” Pigs don't want to be slaughtered. The best way to help them is to go vegan. – at Cebu City, Central Visayas

👀 LOOK: New PETA billboard in the Philippines urges those worried about AI's environmental impact to also take a look at their plates. Amid growing concern over data centers’ water and energy use, PETA's pointing out that meat, egg, and dairy industries guzzle far more water, spew more methane, and eat up more land than server farms do. The projected annual water withdrawals from global AI demand in 2027 (up to 6.6 billion cubic meters) would be only about 1.2% of the water withdrawn by the global livestock industry each year (566 billion cubic meters). Concerned about the future? Go vegan. 🌱 PETA's billboard campaign is headed to New Clark City, Tarlac next — the proposed site of the Philippines' Pax Silica AI hub. – at Republic of the Philippines

After @PetaIndia helped rescue Madhuri from a temple where she endured decades of loneliness and suffering, she was transferred to Vantara, an Indian rehabilitation center, for the care and companionship she had long been denied. Vantara is owned by Reliance. Now, after a campaign for her return and boycott of Reliance products, she has been sent back to the same place that deprived her of both. Madhuri has been betrayed. 💔🐘

The taxidermied body of Mali, the “world’s saddest elephant,” who died in 2023 after being kept in solitary captivity for nearly 50 years at the Manila Zoo, has been transferred to the National Museum, where her exhibit has just been unveiled. “There are many things to celebrate about Manila, but Mali's confinement and death are not among them. Had the government not blocked her transfer, Mali could have lived out her days in a sanctuary, bonding with other elephants and getting the care she desperately needed. Now, her preserved body at the National Museum will serve as a stark reminder that no elephant should be forced to suffer as she did. Confining animals to tiny, barren enclosures should be relegated to the history books, and PETA stands ready to shutter the Manila Zoo and move the surviving animals to a reputable facility. Until then, PETA urges everyone to honor Mali’s memory by avoiding the Manila Zoo and any other zoo as if more lives depended on it, because they do.” - PETA Asia President Jason Baker – at Manila City, National Capital Region

🚨 JUST RELEASED: A PETA Asia investigation exposes the cruelty behind Japan's Ban'ei horse racing industry. On a cold race track in Obihiro, Hokkaido, horses are forced to haul heavily weighted sleds, some weighing up to a ton, up steep ramps. Pain is written all over their faces as they’re beaten and pushed beyond their limits. Many are driven to their knees, and some collapse completely 💔🐴 No horse should suffer for entertainment. Never attend a Ban'ei horse race, and avoid tourist attractions that exploit animals. – at Hokkaidō, Japan

Viral reports claim that animal rides have been banned at the Pyramids of Giza. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS NOT TRUE. 🐴💔 Horses and camels are whipped, punched, and struck while being forced to carry tourists in blistering heat. When horses' bodies give out, they are discarded like trash and left to slowly, painfully die. Camels who can no longer be used are often sold to slaughterhouses. No measures have been implemented to end or phase out this cruel industry. Egypt's @TourismandAntiq still allows horses and camels to be used for rides at the Pyramids despite extensive evidence of animal suffering and growing concern from tourists around the world. Horses and camels deserve better. 🐎🐪 Please take one minute to urge Egyptian officials to end this cruelty 👉 secure.petaasia.com/page/146… – at Egypt

Three lions recently died at Tokyo's Tama Zoological Park. Mugi, Ichigo, and Luena were born, lived, and died in confinement, deprived of everything that makes life worth living for a wild animal. Taking care of lions and other animals during a heatwave is the most basic job a zoo has to do, yet the animals pay the price when facilities fail. This tragedy is a stark reminder that zoos can never provide wild animals with the control and freedom they need to protect themselves. Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. At Ichikawa City Zoo, Punch the monkey remains deprived of the freedom, companionship, and stimulation that intelligent, social primates need. At Tennoji Zoo, elephants Dara, Amoi, and Kelat (DAK) are kept in barren enclosures that can never provide the space, autonomy, social lives, or opportunities to roam that elephants need to thrive. Zoos are not rescues or sanctuaries; they exist to display animals for profit, not to put animals' needs first. #EmptyTheCages – at Japan

🐎🎉 Victory for horses in the Philippines! Authorities in Laguna cancelled an illegal horse race after PETA alerted officials that the event would expose horses to risks of injury, exhaustion, and stress—marking the first time in the country that an illegal horse race was stopped before it happened 👏👏 Horses deserve protection, not exploitation.
