Dear Friend,

The Iditarod death race is underway. Dogs are being forced to drag heavy sleds through biting wind, snow and ice,
and other hazards until they reach the finish line hundreds of miles away—or
they grow too exhausted, ill, or injured to keep running.

The conditions are so strenuous that some dogs may die of an infection resulting
from inhaling their own vomit .

We can't let this kind of cruelty stand. This year's Iditarod must be the last
one that ever abuses dogs for entertainment—and this is your last chance to
help.

Will you make a generous gift today to support our grassroots campaign to help
dogs and end the deadly Iditarod? Even $3 can have an impact!

After running up to 1,000 miles in two weeks, many dogs will endure painful cuts
and bruising on their paws or be left with stomach ulcers and persistent lung
damage. Some—even those who haul mushers to victory in the Iditarod—will have no
choice but to spend their days chained outside with little or no shelter from
the Arctic cold, never knowing the comforts of a life indoors. Others, deemed "surplus" by the callous dogsledding industry, may be shot,
drowned, or simply abandoned to starve.

PETA needs your help to make the 2020 Iditarod the last. We're preparing for our strongest push
yet—will you help us keep rallying more dog advocates in the critical days
ahead?

Friend, we haven't seen you donate to this campaign
yet. Is that right? Please donate $3 now to power our hard-hitting advocacy work against the
Iditarod!

Thanks to years of PETA protests, eye-catching advertisements, pressure on
corporate sponsors, and bold online campaigning, we're closer than ever to
sparing dogs the immense suffering they endure every year in the Iditarod:

* We're demanding that Chrysler stop funding the death race and join the
growing list of companies—including Alaska Airlines, Coca-Cola, Wells Fargo,
and Jack Daniel's—that have agreed to cut ties with the race after hearing
from thousands of PETA supporters.
* Just as in years past, PETA supporters gathered in full force at the
Iditarod's starting line this year and will be waiting at the finish
line—reminding mushers and naïve spectators that this cruel event brings
nothing but suffering for the dogs forced to compete in it.
* The impact of our groundbreaking undercover investigation of Iditarod
champion mushers' kennels is still reverberating around the world, generating
outrage at the hideous conditions that dogs endure as they're denied
nutritious food and veterinary care, abused for dangerous training, and made
to pull sleds for tourists.

Stopping the Iditarod will require us to keep organizing demonstrations and
raising awareness year-round—and this important work doesn't come cheap. It
wouldn't be possible without the generosity of compassionate PETA supporters
like you.

It's critical to our advocacy campaigns that we raise as much as possible to
help dogs and other animals right now. Will you donate today? Just $3 can help.

I shudder to think of the agonizing pain dogs are facing right now in the
Iditarod—but I'm heartened to know that supporters like you are taking action
for them.

Thank you for your compassion.

Kind regards,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
President
