Friend,

The actions of a small segment of the pork industry could wipe out decades of progress we’ve made for critical animal welfare protections on the state level that have improved and saved the lives of millions of animals. So, I had to make sure you saw our last message and had the chance to double your impact in our crucial fight.

Thanks to a generous donor, every contribution made between now and midnight on September 30 will be DOUBLED, up to $15,000—making your donation go TWICE as far in our fight to defend state-level animal welfare laws and continue our work to protect all animals from suffering and abuse. Will you donate now and have it matched 2X to help protect innocent farm animals and all animals who need us?

We’re so grateful that you’re a compassionate advocate for animals. Being able to count on you makes a world of difference in this fight.

Thank you,

P.S. Any funds raised over $15,000 will not be matched but will still help to pass animal protection legislation and elect humane candidates to office.

Subject: 2X MATCH: Defend one of the world’s most widely mistreated animals

MATCH: $15,000 | DEADLINE: Sept. 30, 11:59 p.m.
Make a 2X gift now to protect farm animals and END animal cruelty!

Friend,

Can you imagine being trapped in a metal crate so small you can’t even turn around? Or chewing the bars until your teeth chip and your mouth bleeds all in a futile attempt to escape?

This is the horrific reality facing mother pigs on U.S. factory farms.

None of this suffering is necessary for a functional farming system—and here at Humane World Action Fund, formerly called Humane Society Legislative Fund, we’re fighting alongside farmers and consumers to raise the standards of welfare for vulnerable farm animals nationwide. But we can’t do it without you. Please, if you care about innocent animals: Make a MATCHED gift now and have it go TWICE as far to fight cruelty on industrial farms and protect all vulnerable animals from harm. But act fast, the match will only last until midnight Sept. 30!

Pigs used for breeding in factory farms live a truly miserable existence. They are kept in metal gestation crates for months on end, suffering from painful and preventable health conditions and enduring profound psychological harm. And when they give birth, they are moved to equally restrictive farrowing crates where they can barely interact with their piglets. Repeating this cycle until slaughter at just 2 or 3 years old—far below their natural lifespan.

This cruel confinement is hell on Earth for these sensitive and intelligent animals. Yet, as you read this, a segment of the pork industry is working to roll back rules that combat this extreme and inhumane confinement!

If this segment of the pork industry succeeds, we could see not only Prop 12 rolled back, but many other critical state animal welfare laws! That would be disastrous for suffering farm animals and condemn mother pigs to continue living a nightmare. No animal deserves this cruel fate, friend. And right now, they need your help to stop the unraveling of even the most basic protections.

Please, take action today: Make a 2X-matched gift, up to $15,000, before our end-of month deadline on September 30—to protect vulnerable pigs, farm animals and all animals who need us.

Thank you,

Sara Amundson
