John,

Big cats are in crisis. Right now, there are far more tigers living in captivity
in the U.S. than there are left in the wild. And in many states, it is perfectly
legal to keep a tiger in your home or backyard.

John, tigers, lions, and all big cats belong in the
wild — not in cages. We are fighting right now to urge Congress to pass the Big Cat Public Safety
Act to put a stop to the irresponsible private ownership of big cats. We’re also
relentlessly filing lawsuits to shut down cruel roadside zoos that abuse and
neglect big cats and other animals in their care. Will you stand up for these majestic animals with an urgent donation today?

[[link removed]] Now is the moment to act, when across the country, people are learning of the
plight of captive tigers and other big cats, giving us the momentum to enact
powerful legal change. So please make a gift today to fight for captive big cats and all abused,
neglected, and exploited animals in need of help.

Your support is essential John to achieving legal
change for animals. It was only with the support of donors like you, that we were able to rescue
two African lionesses, Jonwah and Njjarra, who were suffering at Cricket Hollow
Zoo.

At the time of their rescue, an emergency veterinary assessment indicated that Njjarra was severely underweight and suffering from cataracts, and Jonwah was
emaciated — her bones and vertebrae visible. Due to extreme hunger, Jonwah had been eating the straw provided to her as
bedding which formed a painful, life-threatening blockage in her intestines. SAVE LIVES NOW
[[link removed]] Using the Endangered Species Act (ESA), we sued Cricket Hollow Zoo and won,
allowing us to rehome Jonwah and Njjarra to a reputable sanctuary. This landmark
legal victory extended ESA protections to all endangered animals in captivity —
providing strong legal precedent to sue other facilities keeping endangered
animals in horrible conditions. And the Big Cat Public Safety Act will add another layer of strong legal
protection for captive wild animals by preventing abusive private ownership of
big cats.

We’re closer than ever to securing federal legislation that would protect big
cats, but we need your support to see this fight through to the end — and win!
So please stand with us and with animals again today.
[[link removed]] Animals deserve a life free from pain and suffering — help us make that life a
reality for them. For the animals,

Kim Kelly
Director of Legislative Affairs
