John,
The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic is gripping the world right now. And during this time, I want to assure you that even while we respond to this challenge by doing our part to keep our staff and communities safe, our work to protect animals – who continue to be abused and neglected every day – goes on. I know you’ll agree that we cannot let them down, and I’m asking for your help…
We’re kicking off our Anti-Cruelty Campaign this month, to help make sure that animals are not forgotten during this crisis. And you can do a world of good for a defenseless animal by taking one action now: Sign our Stop Animal Cruelty pledge.
When you sign this pledge, you are committing to a simple, lifesaving act for animals: Report cruelty when you see it and speak out for animal victims. Without you, animals have no voice — and many would have no hope for safety, love, or justice. |

Let me give you just one example of an abused animal who needs your voice. Riley, a four-month-old Labrador puppy, was abandoned in a California schoolyard with acid burns, a broken jaw, and an eye injury so severe, it appeared his entire eye was gone.
Riley is now in a safe and loving home. But he will never be able to speak to the suffering he endured at the hands of his abuser. That’s why it’s up to us to speak up for him and the countless other animal victims of cruelty. The Animal Legal Defense Fund is fighting to pass a new law in California and other states to help give animal victims of abuse dedicated advocates in the courtroom in criminal cruelty cases, fighting for their interests and for the justice animals deserve.
John, while we fight to pass this much-needed legislation, you can give animal victims like Riley a voice by signing our pledge. Can I count on you to sign our pledge to report animal abuse and speak out to Stop Animal Cruelty, so we can demonstrate that animal abuse is still a serious crime that deserves attention? |
For the animals,
 |
