Dear Friend,

Terrified cats were huddled together in a rusty cage dreading the moment someone
would buy them for slaughter. Live frogs were piled on top of each other in bags
next to the mutilated bodies of those killed before them.

Chickens with open wounds were bound tightly together, crying out as other
animals' blood pooled on the floor below them.

PETA Asia found these and other horrors at "wet markets" earlier this year, mere
weeks after a growing pandemic introduced the term to much of the world.

Live-animal markets, like the one in China where the novel coronavirus is
thought to have originated, are still operating—both in the U.S. and around the world. I hope you'll take action NOW to help us shut down all such markets before the
next deadly disease has a chance to take root—and to help animals destined to be
slaughtered.

Please, help keep PETA's work to close live-animal markets and stop the
suffering of animals used for their flesh going strong by making a special gift
today.

PETA Asia recently released footage recorded in Indonesia and Thailand, where
live animals are being sold and killed despite warnings from officials. This disturbing investigation shows gloveless workers hawking bloody chunks of
flesh to shoppers while covered with gore from killing chickens, snakes, rats,
and others. Flies can be seen swarming around the bodies of dead pigs and other animals,
and streaks of blood from gutted fish and slaughtered animals cover countertops
and floors.

The spread of COVID-19, swine flu, SARS, and many other dangerous infectious
diseases can often be traced to wet markets, filthy factory farms, and other
breeding grounds for pathogens where animals are abused and killed to satisfy
the world's meat habit.

Your support today will give an immediate boost to our work to close down
live-animal markets and stop the tremendous misery that they're responsible for.
Even $3 can make a big impact on our vital work.

Wet markets aren't a problem that's limited to China, Thailand, or other Asian
countries—there are disease-ridden facilities right here in the U.S. that pose
similar major health risks. Today, more than 80 live-animal markets and
slaughterhouses can be found in New York City alone, and such facilities are
allowed to operate in many other crowded major cities across the U.S.

The cry to close these horrifying markets is growing louder every day, and PETA is
at the forefront. We were the first organization to demand that the World Health
Organization call for an end to all live-animal markets, and so far, more than
150,000 people have taken action against the markets on our website, calling for
their permanent closure.

Wet markets put humans at risk and sentence animals to a miserable death. Please help us do even more to shut them down by making a special gift right
now.

For humans—and all animals—there's simply no time to lose.

Kind regards,
