Following PETA’s undercover investigation of Lake Elsinore, California–based GCB,
which revealed the systemic, daily neglect and shocking abuse of thousands of rats
and reptiles, more than 30,000 of you have signed on to PETA’s petition urging Zellerbach to take action. 

Hell on Earth for
Animals

On December 12, based on PETA’s evidence, law-enforcement
officials mounted the largest-ever seizure of animals in California at GCB. The
facility reeked of death, decay, and ammonia from accumulated urine and feces. Snakes
and other reptiles at GCB were so neglected that, in many cases, even their
deaths went unnoticed by management—for days, leaving enclosures and rotting
carcasses teeming with maggots.

Rats were routinely grabbed by the tail and slammed against
hard surfaces when workers decided to kill them. Then they were thrown into
trash bins or into a reptile’s cage while still alive and convulsing. Tubs used
for housing flooded frequently, drowning countless rats and leaving hundreds of
others—exhausted, shivering, and terrified—to struggle to keep their heads
above the water as it rose. As Jenna explains in her letter to Zellerbach: 

As an expectant mother, I was particularly
heartbroken to see photos of ailing mother rats with open wounds on their
bodies who stood guard protectively over their dead or dying babies in the
filthy plastic tubs that they were confined to without access to adequate food,
water, or even moderately fresh air to breathe. … Justice must be served for the unspeakable suffering endured by countless
animals at GCB.

What You Can Do

Please join PETA and Jenna Dewan-Tatum in politely urging Zellerbach to file
criminal charges against all appropriate parties without further delay.
