This year, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) filed shareholders' resolutions with Merck, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Amgen, Schering-Plough, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Abbott in an attempt to get the firms to stop using five common animal tests. The group also has a resolution pending with Wyeth regarding its treatment of the pregnant mares that produce urine used in making the estrogen-replacement drug, Premarin.
