----------------------------------------

Dear Friend,

In a secretive laboratory, an experimenter cuts into barn owls' skulls to expose their brains and attaches a metal device to their heads.

Then, they're crammed—fully conscious and wide awake—into a kind of
straitjacket. The experimenter clamps their eyes open and bombards them with
loud and distressing sights or sounds for as long as 12 hours while poking around in their brains. They writhe and struggle, becoming increasingly desperate to escape.

Eventually, their brain tissue is so severely damaged that they're deemed "unusable," killed, and discarded like a piece of broken
lab equipment.

Please help end gruesome, nightmarish experiments by supporting PETA's "Stop
Animal Testing" Challenge with a gift of $2 or more right now. Every gift made before the October 31 deadline, up to our $500,000 goal, will
be matched!

Barn owls don't experience attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Yet Johns Hopkins
University experimenter Shreesh Mysore is receiving millions of dollars—much of
it from U.S. taxpayers—to torture these highly sensitive birds in sadistic,
curiosity-driven tests, which he ludicrously claims will help him study ADHD in
humans.

Mysore has admitted that these experiments are painful, yet he's failed to
reveal whether the owls receive adequate pain medication or care after repeated
invasive procedures. He even keeps some birds for inexperienced staff to
practice surgeries on—while other imprisoned owls are forced to breed and
produce the next generation of victims.

Owls can't cry foul on vile tests and terrifying mistreatment—but PETA can, and
our success in ending all animal experiments hinges on support from people like you. Please pitch in $2 during our special matching-gift challenge to have twice the
impact for frightened animals in laboratories.

From the moment we exposed Mysore's grisly experiments and other suffering at
Johns Hopkins, the outcry has been tremendous. Nearly 200,000 caring people have
taken action for owls online, and through many eye-opening demonstrations and
hard-hitting ad blitzes in Baltimore, we're raising people's awareness of the
torment funded by their tax dollars— and empowering Johns Hopkins' students to demand better from the institution.

Our determined team of scientists and researchers is shutting down many
experiments like Mysore's—keeping experimenters at the University of
Wisconsin–Madison from cutting into cats' heads, deafening them, and killing
them and derailing the government gravy train that funded pointless and gruesome
experiments on mice at the University of Pittsburgh. PETA has stopped painful
decompression studies on sheep and starvation experiments on birds and shut down
a government-funded baby-monkey psychological testing laboratory. And that's
only scratching the surface of all that we've been able to achieve together.

We won't rest until we win for the owls trapped in Johns Hopkins' little shop of
horrors—and the many other animals who are being terrorized in laboratories. Are you with us?
