ALERT!!!
We’re down to just 76 HOURS. Just over three days to hit our Rapid Response goal, and we’re still over $30,000 short.
Taxpayer, we’re scrambling here. If we don’t mount an effective counter-attack, the House, Senate, and media will believe McDonough’s lies. And the Stokes 7 cats will be tortured.
Will you follow this secure link to help us close the gap before tonight???
REMINDER: With your help, we’ve ended 6 of the VA’s painful cat tests. McDonough’s new experiment is now the last painful cat test within the federal government.
If he moves forward with the experiment, not only will the Stokes 7 suffer horribly—but it will send a message to all other federal agencies that PAINFUL CAT EXPERIMENTS ARE FAIR GAME AGAIN!
Please hurry,

Taxpayer — we’ve poked the bear… now he’s coming for us:
-
WE’RE UNDER ATTACK: VA Secretary McDonough — a White House Cabinet official — has turned his PR team and lobbyists into an attack machine. They’re threatening to SHRED our campaign with their LIES before Congress and the media.
-
WHY? McDonough wants revenge. We exposed his plan to torture seven more cats in a new painful experiment at the Stokes VA lab in Cleveland and turned taxpayers and members of Congress against him.
-
DOUBLING DOWN: In a new letter he sent to Congress just two days ago, McDonough refuses to cancel the experiment. He calls cat abuse a “justified use of taxpayer funds”!
-
WE’RE BEING OUTSPENT: If we don’t close the gap, he will kill our credibility… and mutilate the “Stokes 7” cats.
That’s the lie the VA has told reporters in response to our campaign and your emails and calls. His lobbyists are blanketing Congress as we speak.
Taxpayer, read that again. Carefully. Do you see what he’s saying?
TRANSLATION: “Taxpayer is a crazy, hyperemotional cat person who doesn’t understand science. Just give me Taxpayer’s money to mutilate more kittens because I know best.”
It’s never been more URGENT that we set the record straight.
SEPTEMBER 5 DEADLINE: McDonough just confirmed to Congress that the experiments haven’t started yet. But we know that the VA typically buys their victims in September.
That means we have to out-lobby the VA’s fat cats and CANCEL the test before the Stokes 7 are purchased later this month and the torture begins!
Taxpayer, don’t forget: since we launched our campaign to shut down the VA’s painful cat testing program in 2019, you’ve helped us shut down 6 of the agency’s seven cat experiments... including its horrific spine-snapping and de-braining experiments.
Now, only one remains... and if we don’t fight back, McDonough’s white coats will begin inflicting unimaginable pain on the Stokes 7 cats.
We’ve got 144 hours to do it... McDonough’s army of lobbyists and spin doctors are booking meetings on Capitol Hill as you read this.
Please don’t delay — RUSH the most generous donation you can afford to cover our rapid response campaign right now!

P.S. I warned you the VA fights nasty... but even I’m shocked this time. Taxpayer, McDonough’s white coats took another $400K of your money, and now they’re smearing your name. Make no mistake: This isn’t just an attack on WCW; it’s an attack on ALL of us.
If we want to cancel McDonough’s new experiment and save the Stokes 7, we must deploy a NEW rapid response. Please rush whatever you can afford to fight for these seven innocent cats, support all our campaigns to end animal testing, and close the government’s last painful cat lab!
P.P.S. SEPTEMBER 5 DEADLINE: The VA’s cat experiments are all REPREHENSIBLE. From spine-snapping to suffocation and de-braining, McDonough’s white coats know no bounds. Please help us stop him from getting his hands on the Stokes 7 cats before the deadline.
