Dear Friend,

Terrified dogs in a Chinese slaughterhouse cower and whimper in fear as they watch a worker drag away a yelping dog, bludgeon her, and strip off her skin.

Sweet, loyal dogs—much like those we share our lives with—are being violently killed in hellish facilities like this one so that their skin can be stolen and turned into leather gloves or belts.

Today's the final day to make a gift that will double in impact to help animals like them.

Will you help PETA end such misery by making a gift of just $3 or more to our "Save Our Skin" Matching-Gift Challenge before it's too late? Only until midnight tonight, every gift up to our $250,000 goal will be MATCHED—going twice as far to help power our hard-hitting campaigns against the global skins trade.

With the support of compassionate, determined people like you, PETA is working to stop cruelty and transform the fashion industry:

• We're persuading kind people to swear off leather with our landmark exposés, including of the hideous slaughterhouses in China where the skins of abused dogs are sold to become work gloves or leather trinkets. We can do more to protect dogs, but we need your support—and for just a few more hours, it will go twice as far.
• We're persuading a growing number of iconic brands—like SMCP, Brooks Brothers, and Mulberry—to drop exotic skins, preventing reptiles from languishing in putrid pools before workers bash in their heads or scramble their brains. Every dollar you give before midnight will go twice as far to help keep the momentum going.
• We're exposing the suffering of alpacas, sheep, and goats who are hit, kicked, pinned down, or knelt on at shearing operations—pushing global retailers to cut ties with cruelty and encouraging consumers to leave violence out of their wardrobes. Today is your last chance to double your impact—please help stop pain and misery in the skins trade!

After decades of determined PETA campaigning, savvy shoppers and companies are embracing sustainable, animal-friendly fashion like never before. But as long as dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals are forced to suffer so that someone can steal their skin, we must do even more to protect them. And there's not much time left.

YOU can do twice as much to help—but only until midnight tonight. Make a special gift today and it will DOUBLE in impact for animals. As little as $3 makes a difference.
