Dear Friend,

Right now, a pair of bullocks are straining to pull a heavy cart piled high with passengers and supplies. They'll trudge on like this for days without a moment's rest—let alone adequate food, water, or attention to their painful injuries—as they make a grueling journey of more than 100 miles to the Chinchali Fair.

Animal Rahat will care for thousands of exhausted bullocks and other animals before the fair ends in a few days, and today, the group needs your help to reach as many animals as it can.

Your gift of $3 or more to PETA's programs supporting Animal Rahat will give an immediate boost to the work of the on-site team as it provides many working animals with critical relief.

Right now, the team is preparing to aid thousands of animals at rest camps along the route to the fair and at the fairgrounds itself. Animal Rahat's animal-care professionals will be busy for days, alleviating as much suffering as possible by doing the following:

• Providing weary animals with food, fresh water, and a place to rest
• Giving emergency medical treatment to injured and sick animals, particularly for the large, painful abscesses caused by heavy cart yokes rubbing relentlessly against skin
• Teaching compassionate animal-care practices through hands-on demonstrations and an educational poster gallery
• Confiscating illegal torture devices, such as whips, spiked bits, pointed sticks, and yoke spikes—like the one pictured below discovered during last year's fair
• Subsidizing the hiring of buses and other vehicles that can prevent animals from being forced to make the difficult journey in the first place

Animal Rahat cares for animals at many festivals and fairs, but this is the single biggest such effort that the team undertakes each year—and its success depends on support from people like you who care deeply about animals.

Please make your gift to PETA in support of Animal Rahat's work at the Chinchali Fair—and elsewhere in India—right away so that the team can help as many animals as possible. Even $3 will help!

Thanks to compassionate people like you, thousands of animals forced to attend the Chinchali Fair—and many others, too—will get the rest and care that they so badly need.

Very truly yours,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
President
