URGENT ACTION: Help Save Dogs, Cats, and Others From Military Experiments

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

A new bipartisan amendment aims to prohibit the U.S. Department of Defense from funding cruel and deadly wounding experiments on dogs, cats, primates, and marine mammals. PETA needs your help TODAY to make it a reality.

In 1983, PETA got a U.S. Department of Defense underground “wound lab” shut down and achieved a permanent ban on shooting dogs and cats in military wound laboratories. That ban now needs to be reinstated.

The life-saving amendment was submitted by Reps. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.-16) and Veronica Escobar (D-Texas-16) to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026 (H.R. 4016).

PETA recently exposed the U.S. Army for quietly reversing a decades-old ban on weapon-wounding tests on animals, allowing dogs, cats, and other animals to be inflicted with wounds from weapons in gruesome and pointless experiments, despite the widespread availability of superior, animal-free alternatives. Subsequently, the Army pulled its explicit permission for such experiments but has not yet outright banned this practice.

Take Action TODAY

There is no time to waste. The House Committee on Rules may vote on the amendment any day now. Please take action now and urge members of Congress serving on the committee to vote in favor of the amendment so that it can move forward for consideration by the full House.

After you take action, you’ll see an easy way to share this information. Please ask five friends or relatives to support this campaign!
