PETA have recognised Gunn with its Not a Number award"in honor of the millions of real animals who endure needless experiments at the hands of cruel corporations," the award signed by President Ingrid Newkirk said. "PETA recognises and thanks James Gunn for the unflinching advocacy in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3, reminding viewers that all animals deserve a life of freedom under the open sky rather than confinement to laboratory cages."
