MATCH MY
GIFT!

Dear John,

 

Her spirit had been broken.

 

She was depressed. The sadness in sow #22815's eyes told her story.

 

Liz, a Mercy For Animals field investigator, met pig #22815 while working undercover at a massive factory farm in Iowa. 

 

#22815 lived in a dark, windowless shed. She never felt grass under her feet, the warm sun on her back, or a fresh breeze on her skin. She was viewed as an object, a meat-producing machine. She was forcibly impregnated over and over again.

 

Cold steel bars imprisoned #22815 in a crate so small she could barely move. Her body ached. She screamed in protest as her babies were painfully mutilated in front of her. 

 

When no one was around, Liz would sit next to #22815, offering her food, water, and a few kind words. It was the only love or mercy she'd ever experienced.  


Eventually, #22815's mind, body, and spirit couldn't take it anymore. She developed a large oozing sore on her shoulder. She stopped eating and lost the will to live. A factory worker spray-painted an X on her backthe mark of slaughter. The next day she was gone.

 


 

 

Sadly, #22815's story isn't unique. At this very moment, millions of intelligent, sensitive pigs are being horribly mistreated behind the closed doors of our nation's factory farms. 

 

This abuse cannot continue. 

 

It's time we ended factory farming. Are you with us, John?

 

Please step up and commit to helping abused farmed animals, like sow #22815, by making a donation to Mercy For Animals today. Donate now and your gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 by The McGrath Family Foundation. 

 

Animals need you, John. Please make a gift today.

 

With you by our side, Mercy For Animals will continue fighting for farmed animals—in the highest courts and in the boardrooms of the world's largest food companies. Your gift will provide the resources we need for the battles ahead. It will help send brave undercover investigators like Liz into factory farms, exposing cruelty for the world to see.

 

Your support funds our work to get mother pigs, baby calves, and hens out of tiny, filthy crates and cages and to outlaw barbaric industry practices, like slitting the throats of conscious animals. 

 

Lives hang in the balance. We can't do this work without you, John.

 

If you donate before midnight on December 21, your gift will be matched by The McGrath Family Foundation up to $50,000. This means your contribution will go twice as far to help animals.

 

Your gift will move us closer to the day when the misery animals like sow #22815 endure is a thing of the past, when animals are free to live on their own terms—free from beatings and cold steel bars. This future is possible, but it's not inevitable. We must act today to make it happen.

 

Farmed animals are counting on you, John. Don't let them down. 

 

With gratitude,
Milo Runkle
Founder
