Dear Friend,

"Sometimes, I will let out a good cry at home or in my car after a particularly disturbing day."

"There are times when I have to hold back the tears. To see the workers torture these animals is infuriating."

Standing by while animals suffer is one of the hardest things that a PETA investigator will ever have to do—but each one knows that documenting cruelty is critically important to stopping it.

The impact of PETA investigators on all of our vital work for animals can't be overstated.

Because of an eyewitness investigator who spent six months inside the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center, tens of thousands of people have now taken action to stop the relentless torment of nearly 2,000 primates held by experimenters at that bleak, windowless facility. The day after we released our findings, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Institutes of Health confirmed that they had launched their own investigations into the center.

Because of eyewitness investigators, consumers got their first-ever glimpse into the world's largest privately owned alpaca farm, where workers hit, kicked, tied down, and mutilated pregnant, screaming alpacas to steal their fleece. This investigation has already prompted fashion giants like UNIQLO, Overstock, and ESPRIT to ban alpaca.

Because of an eyewitness investigator, thousands of people pledged to stop eating eggs after we exposed the misery of hens condemned to languish in row after row of cramped, filthy cages on a massive Ohio farm that supplies eggs to Walmart.

Such PETA cases have led to many groundbreaking victories for animals—progress that wouldn't have been possible without the intrepid investigators who are committed to stopping the cruelty.

Thank you for your compassion and for all that you do for animals.

Kind regards,

Dan Paden
