Dear Friend,

Even as Double Trouble's health deteriorated, she was subjected to surgeries and experimental procedures at a University of Wisconsin–Madison laboratory. When experimenters decided that she was no longer of use to them, she was killed and decapitated.

This year, some 19,000 cats like Double Trouble will be forced to be part of
some of the most horrifying experiments imaginable. Together, we must do more to stop their suffering.

Please, do twice as much to help end cruel experiments on cats and other animals
by making a gift to PETA's "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge today. Your contribution of at least $2 will be matched dollar for dollar, up to our $500,000
challenge goal.

It took years of powerful demonstrations, the support of celebrities like Bill
Maher and James Cromwell, and the outcry of more than 360,000 PETA supporters to
shut down the laboratory where Double Trouble and dozens of other cats were
killed in archaic sound-localization experiments. With your help, we did it! But
such appalling cruelty isn't limited to one laboratory.

Right now in universities—maybe even one just a few miles from your
home—frightened cats, dogs, monkeys, and other animals are cowering in fear and
enduring the pain of implantations, infections, electroshocks, burns, and more. While taxpayers are forced to cough up tens of billions of dollars for these
crude experiments, each one of these animals will suffer and die for the rotten
"science" behind these rotten tests.

Today, experimenters at the University of California–Irvine are intentionally
deafening cats by either injecting a toxic substance into their ears or removing
small bones in the inner ear. They then open the cats' skulls and insert an
electrode into their heads, which pierces their auditory nerves. The animals
used in this experiment are then killed.

In another experiment at the University of South Florida, seven cats were
subjected to a procedure known as "suction decerebration," in which portions of
their brain were intentionally destroyed. A tube was then inserted into the
animals' mouth that forced water through their airway to induce a swallowing
reaction.

Will you take action to help us end such nightmares today? Your support, which will double in impact until midnight on October 31, will
give an immediate boost to PETA's work to get rid of entire categories of crude
and deadly animal experiments.

Thousands of cats suffering in laboratories need our help. Please don't pass up
this special opportunity to make a difference for them.

We've set a deadline of October 31 to raise $500,000 through the "Stop Animal
Testing" Challenge. Gifts made after that date or after our goal has been met
will not be matched, but they'll still make a tremendous difference to PETA's
work against cruel and deadly experiments on animals.
