Dogs deserve better than the suffering and death they face on the Iditarod trail. If you agree, help us urge businesses to reconsider ties with the Iditarod👇

These photos were taken at the start of the 2026 Iditarod, where dogs are forced into a nearly 1,000-mile race through freezing storms. For some, this pointless race may even cost them their lives.
2026 is the perfect year to 𝘩𝘰𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘥: there’s no better way to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary than by replacing an English bulldog with an American bullfrog!
Hop to it, Butler 🐸 After announcing the retirement of live bulldog mascot Blue IV for health reasons, @butleru.bsky.social has a chance to 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘱 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥. Bulldogs’ smushed snouts make breathing difficult, so it’s time to 𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘤𝘩 a new tradition: a willing human Butler Bullfrog! bit.ly/4sAqWqQ
Help us push for Betty’s release to a reputable sanctuary where she can finally retire 👇 www.peta.vg/46k3
The Cardens have since leased Betty to a roadside zoo in Indiana, where she is being used for public photo ops💔 We're still fighting to get her released to an accredited sanctuary where she will finally receive the medical care and rest she desperately needs.
This photo is part of a multi-year archive that EXPOSES this industry, which is entrenched in violence & supplies U.S. laboratories.
Check out what else we found ⤵️ www.peta.vg/46i4
This endangered monkey should be swinging through trees & living with family in nature, yet he's imprisoned, waiting to be sent to a lab as a part of Cambodia’s monkey smuggling industry 💔
This NEVER should have happened to him. He deserves so much better.
No dog’s entire life should be spent tied up; bring them inside 💙
Whether they were trapped in the wild or confined on a fur farm, every piece of fur caused intense suffering and ended a life. Vintage or not, fur will never be ethical.
Take a stand and sign PETA’s fur-free pledge today 👉 https://www.peta.vg/46j6
If this looks wrong, it's because it is.
The Iditarod is no different. Dogs are pushed to run in extreme conditions until their bodies give out, and more than 150 have died in the race.
For decades, PETA Founder Ingrid Newkirk has led protests that challenge industries built on animal suffering. She continues to demand change today. This #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate women who fight for animals ✊💗
Watch this mother run after her baby as they are separated 💔
On #InternationalWomensDay, remember: the dairy industry runs on the bodies and recurring heartbreak of females who are forcibly impregnated repeatedly, and have their babies taken so their milk can be sold to humans.
A baby monkey was taken from their mother and tossed into a cooler while still ALIVE at the @uofwa.uw.edu primate center‘s breeding center— a critical animal welfare violation.
You NEED to hear what’s happening inside these labs on the #PETAPodcast 🎙️ https://www.peta.vg/46jf
Until the Iditarod ends, the cycle will repeat 💔

Losing sleep tonight, not from daylight saving time, but from thinking about animals imprisoned in labs 🥺🐒🧪💔
The Iditarod’s Ceremonial Start celebrates forcing dogs to run for days across dangerous terrain and in extreme weather, often resulting in great suffering and even death. If the Iditarod was honest about what dogs go through, this would be a vigil 💔
The egg industry sells “cage-free” as ethical, but our white paper documents stressed hens packed so tightly they fight, peck, and cannibalize each other because there’s nowhere to escape 💔
She and her babies deserved more 💔
Watch Ventana’s story, then text VENTANA to 73822 to stop this race from killing more dogs like her.

When PETA met Cash in 2021, he was chained, hungry, and afraid. We kept showing up—earning his trust, replacing his chain with a tie-out runner, and building a doghouse. Now he barks with joy when our van arrives 💙 We’ll keep showing up for him.
If going vegan feels hard for you, imagine living it.
The dogs suffering at this laboratory need your help!
The @usdagov.bsky.social has cited Blue Ridge Kennel for violations, including:
dogs left out in the heat without access to water
emaciated and skeletal dogs
diseases and wounds left untreated
At the Iditarod’s Anchorage headquarters, we brought the specter of death because up to half the dogs don’t finish the race due to illness, injury, or exhaustion.
End this death race now 👉 www.peta.vg/46hc
We need YOU to speak up to keep these protections in place—for both animals and the public’s safety👇 www.peta.vg/46iv
A child could have easily died after being attacked while feeding lions at a sleazy zoo in China. Incidents like this show why we need protection for big cats, yet roadside zoo owners and traveling wild animal acts are pushing Congress to undo them.
If you didn’t know that farmed salmon can suffer from lice and are confined in crowded pens, you’re not alone! Think about them this Lent and beyond ♥️🐟
How could anyone do this to a puppy? 💔 He’s tiny, scared, and just begging to be seen and loved.
Help us ban chaining everywhere: https://www.peta.vg/467o
The Musher's Banquet officially launches a race that forces dogs to run nearly 1,000 miles through freezing temperatures, often leaving them with torn paws, stomach ulcers, and orthopedic injuries. The Specter of Death stands outside because the Iditarod has already claimed over 150 dogs’ lives.
