Dear Friend,

A cat in China is peacefully sunning herself on a doorstep when a stranger grabs
her by the scruff of her neck.

She freezes, terrified, then tries to escape—but she can't. She's shoved into a
cramped wire cage on the back of a truck, packed in so tightly with other
abducted cats that she can barely breathe.

After what feels like an eternity, the truck stops at a crowded, noisy market
and the cages are dropped to the ground. The cats cry out in pain and fear—but
that does nothing to keep workers from throwing and kicking the wire cages.

Soon after that, she's roughly yanked out of the cage. Her horrifying ordeal
ends with a blow to the head and a knife to the throat before she's strung up
and skinned.

No animal should ever experience such suffering. Your gift today is a powerful
way to protect them.

This year, countless cats like this one will be abducted from the streets or
stolen from their families and sold at live-animal markets in China.

Witnesses have documented that as many as 20 cats are crammed into a single
cage—and up to 800 animals are stacked in cages on each truck. The bodies of
dogs and cats who don't survive the harrowing journey are left among the living.

For China's unregulated cat- and dog-fur industry, making a few pennies from
animals' skin is worth more than their suffering. Workers kill animals as
cheaply and callously as possible—often by hanging, strangling, or bludgeoning
them. Some animals still show signs of life as their skin and fur is agonizingly
ripped and sliced off.

It's not hard to spot coats and trinkets made from cat and dog fur at markets in
China, but that's not the only place they're found. Some companies have been
known to deliberately mislabel their vile accessories in order to dupe
unsuspecting consumers in other countries. If you know anyone who still wears
fur, they may very well be wearing the remains of a cat.

By giving just $5 to PETA today, you'll help us do more to expose and stop such
grisly abuse.

The only way to keep animals from suffering in the fur trade is to persuade
consumers and designers to stop buying fur—and since our very beginning, PETA
has been doing just that. We've persuaded most of the biggest names in fashion
to ditch fur, backed laws to ban fur farms and fur sales, and inspired millions
of consumers to choose clothing that no cat, dog, sheep, or other animal
suffered for.

While we've helped usher in an exciting new era of compassionate fashion, we
must do more.

We know what's happening. We know where it's happening. We know how to stop it.
We just need your support.

Will you give now to help protect cats and other animals?

Thank you for your compassion for all animals.

Kind regards,
