John,

Earlier this year, we shared the heartbreaking story of a 4-month-old puppy named Riley, who was burned with acid across his face and
eye, beaten until his jaw was broken, and left for dead near a schoolyard in
California.

John, I know Riley’s story is hard to read, but we
cannot turn our backs on abused animals — not now, not ever. The sad truth is animals like Riley are tortured and killed every day in our country — and too
often their abusers get away with it. That’s why we will not give up and we need you with us now to give Riley and
other animal cruelty victims a voice in the courtroom . It’s why we’ve set an ambitious year end goal of raising $300,000 before
December 31 st so that other animals don’t suffer like Riley did. Will you please donate now when your gift is doubled to fight animal cruelty,
rescue victims, and bring animal abusers to justice?

[[link removed]] Due to the actions of a Good Samaritan and a local rescue group, Riley
survived. But animal victims like Riley need a dedicated advocate in court,
fighting on their behalf. Your tax-deductible, year-end donation right now will be matched up to $130,000
[[link removed]] to help us fight to pass legislation in 2021 that will give animal cruelty
victims a powerful legal voice in the courtroom — and make abusers pay for their
crimes .

Riley cannot speak to the abuse he suffered. He cannot confront his abuser. But you can ensure he has an advocate speaking out for him in court. In the year ahead, the Animal Legal Defense Fund is fighting to establish
Courtroom Animal Advocate Programs (CAAP) in California, New Jersey, New York,
and Florida.

CAAP laws protect animals by allowing judges to appoint trained volunteer
attorneys or supervised law students as courtroom animal advocates to represent
the interests of an animal victim like Riley in criminal cruelty cases. These
laws seek to ensure that an animal’s needs will be taken into account and that
animal abusers receive appropriate sentences to prevent future crime. Your support is critical to passing CAAP laws, and you will make an even bigger
difference in this fight and all our work to end cruelty when your gift is
doubled right now.

We must keep fighting for Riley, other victims like him, and all animals
suffering abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Please speak out for innocent
animals with your support to be matched today. For the animals,

Stephen Wells
Executive Director
