Save the Date! Tuesday, February 23, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT Join us for a first-ever town hall meeting about PETA’s life-changing work for companion animals.

Dear Friend,

To lonely dogs, ailing cats, and countless other neglected companion animals, PETA’s fieldworkers and cruelty caseworkers are nothing short of miracle workers.

Our fieldworkers and Emergency Response Team are on call 24/7/365—often coming to an animal’s aid when no one else will. We’re delivering sturdy custom-built doghouses that offer “backyard dogs” some relief during dangerous weather, providing free and low-cost spay and neuter surgeries to help tackle the companion-animal homelessness crisis at its roots, and responding at all hours of the day and night to ensure that sick, injured, and neglected animals get the help they urgently need.

Our Mobile Clinics Division is a model high-volume spay/neuter program that sterilizes more than 12,000 animals annually, and it also provides free emergency surgeries and treatments that keep injured or ailing animals with their loving families when they’ve have fallen on hard times.

February 23 is World Spay Day—and we’re celebrating the occasion with our first-ever town hall meeting on PETA’s vital work for companion animals. I hope you’ll be there!

This inspiring town hall—featuring PETA President Ingrid Newkirk, Senior Vice President of Cruelty Investigations Daphna Nachminovitch, and Mobile Clinics Division Director Lori-Jo Ciccone—will give you an inside look at PETA’s shelter, fieldwork, and companion-animal assistance programs, as well as sharing poignant stories of individual animals we’ve helped, like a senior dog named Edith, who was rescued and adopted after spending years chained outside.

Edith’s story also appears in Breaking the Chain, a powerful documentary produced by Anjelica Huston that offers a glimpse into PETA’s fieldwork. We’ll be giving away a limited number of free Breaking the Chain viewings, so please don’t miss out on your chance to win.

We encourage you to join us online by logging on to PETA.org/FebruaryTownHall at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on February 23. You’ll be able to watch the presentation through your web browser and submit your questions online. We’ll send a reminder e-mail to you at this address a few minutes before the meeting begins.

I hope you’ll join us on February 23 for an inspiring look at the ways PETA’s fieldworkers and Emergency Response Team are breaking the cycle of companion-animal homelessness, neglect, and misery.

Kind regards,

Lisa Lange
Senior Vice President of Communications
