| Featured  Terrified songbirds captured from their own homes were put into cloth bags to stress them out. Some were rolled around on carts so that they couldn't perch. Some were fed crude oil, and others' legs were wounded without any pain relief—and the results of all this won't even apply to humans or birds. SPEAK UP FOR BIRDS  Since our very beginning, PETA has been Ringling Bros. circus's most vocal opponent. The circus officially shut down after its last performance on May 21. You've helped make this milestone possible. Share the huge victory for animals and take action to help animals in other circuses. HELP CLOSE ALL CIRCUSES  PETA's "Save Our Skins" Matching-Gift Challenge has officially begun. Don't miss this chance to help twice as much. LEARN MORE  More than 100,000 animal advocates have e-mailed Coca-Cola, but the company is still sponsoring the cruel Iditarod event. Leave comments on Coca-Cola's Facebook and Instagram pages, tweet the company, and take action on PETA's alert to urge Coca-Cola to pull its sponsorship of the race. TAKE ACTION  Trophy hunter Theunis Botha was leading a hunt in Zimbabwe when the group disturbed a herd of elephants during breeding (which their decimated population desperately needs). Read and share the story on Facebook and show yet another reason why hunting kills. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?  The footage shows pigs who are kept on hard, slatted floors and covered with excrement, crammed together with other animals in small, barren pens. Is this how you imagine the life of a happy pig? WHAT YOU CAN DO  Elephants held captive at this “luxury camp” are forced to give rides and are even used to play "elephant polo" in an annual tournament. What happens during the training of baby elephants in the industry will break your heart.
