Taxpayer, please forgive me for bugging you so late. But I can’t sleep right now. 

I’m up all night for them: 

And for these guys, too: 

Taxpayer, these are lab animals at the University of Pennsylvania. Kittens and puppies who were deliberately bred to suffer from incurable genetic disorders. 

They’re deformed, diseased, and disabled.  

They’re also doomed.  

Unless our fundraising improves in the next 37 minutes, 23 more animals are going to die when UPenn cripples them, dissects their bones, and collects their skulls.  

As a UPenn graduate myself, I’m staying up all night to ensure these deformed pets don’t become trophies on a college professor’s desk.  

Sadly, grassroots support for our campaign has been lackluster.  

Maybe folks don’t care as much because these animals are disabled?

Or maybe everyone assumes they won’t live long anyway—so what difference does it make?

Well, I know YOU care. I do, too. I just want to give these animals a better life.  

And I REALLY want to stop my alma mater TONIGHT (it’s a big deadline) … before the next round of crippling begins.  

Unfortunately, we don’t have the resources to sustain our rapid response campaigns for both UPenn’s dogs and cats. With 37 minutes left, it’s one or the other.  

So, tonight, I’m on the verge of making a gut-wrenching choice: cats or dogs.  

Taxpayer, who will it be?  

Please send help, 

P.S. I’m working all night to raise the additional funds so we don’t have to make that tough decision. Let’s save them all! Here’s a secure link to rush a tax-deductible gift and get it matched. The books close at midnight. —Thx, AB
