Dear Friend,

For Murphy, long days in isolation are the least of his concerns. He'll languish alone in a steel prison cell until a laboratory worker pulls him out and delivers him to the experimenter who will cut open his skull and inject toxins or vacuum out or burn parts of his brain. Then he'll be confined to a small black box—a "fear cage"—so the experimenter can deliberately provoke his worst fears.

For monkeys like Murphy, Odd Job, Rudisha, and many others, the misery that they endure in cruel taxpayer-funded experiments will end only when they're killed and their broken bodies are discarded like medical waste.

Today, you have a unique chance to help them. Every dollar you donate to PETA before midnight on April 30 will be matched—doubling your impact for animals in laboratories and bringing us closer to our $10,000 goal. Please give $3 or more right now.

PETA has obtained never-before-seen footage of the monstrous tests conducted by National Institutes of Health (NIH) experimenter Elisabeth Murray—revealing that after she inflicts permanent, traumatic damage on their brains, monkeys are confined alone to a small dark box so she can terrify them with realistic-looking snakes and spiders.

The torture is repeated over and over—and when Murray's finally finished frightening them, some monkeys are "recycled" into other experiments for even more abuse before they're ultimately deemed "extraneous" and killed.

After 30 years, not one treatment or cure for human neuropsychiatric disorders has come out of Murray's laboratory of horrors. Yet in the past 13 years alone, she's raked in a whopping $36 million in taxpayer funds to keep tormenting monkeys.

Take a moment to help spare social primates anxiety and utter terror and amplify the growing call for effective, cruelty-free research: Support PETA's work against animal tests by giving $3 or more today.

PETA has an unparalleled track record of victories for primates in laboratories:

Just last week, we secured a ruling that forces Oregon Health & Science University to hand over 74 videos recorded at the Oregon National Primate Research Center so that the public can see for themselves the vile experiments in which mother monkeys are fed "junk food" diets and then their babies are taken from them to be intentionally terrified. We won't let up until the cruelty ends!
It was our hard-hitting campaign that finally put an end to NIH's dreadful maternal-deprivation experiments, in which monkeys were torn away from their mothers at birth, terrorized with loud sounds and artificial snakes, addicted to alcohol, and isolated in cramped cages in order to worsen their distress.
After we publicized hideous footage captured in a laboratory at the University of California–Riverside, experimenters there stopped yanking vulnerable newborn macaques away from their mothers and sewing their eyes shut.

We're determined to win for the monkeys trapped in Murray's laboratory and create a future without animal laboratories—and to do that, we need you with us.

Will you help monkeys and other animals right now, when your contribution of at least $3 will be DOUBLED in impact?

Please act before this matching-gift offer expires at the end of the month.

Thank you for your compassion and support.
