Significant events
- “This year marked a turning point in our campaign to end the forced swim test in the UK. Following years of relentless pressure - University of Bristol and the University of Bath both confirmed they will no longer perform this cruel test.”
- “PETA scientists hosted a roundtable with leading European animal protection groups, laying out an actionable plan to replace tests on animals with cutting-edge, humane science, leading to a flash report titled EU Roadmap for Phasing Out Animal Testing.”
- “PETA entities secured major wins in the fashion world. H&M committed to banning new down across all its brands, automaker Renault pledged to end leather interiors, and the British Fashion Council banned wild-animal skins from London Fashion Week.”
- “We continued to expose the suffering of animals used in tourism, including a new PETA Asia investigation into Morocco's tourism industry, leading several UK travel companies to drop animal rides or marine park promotions.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
