Will you help PETA stop more animal tests? Double Your Impact!

Dear Friend,

When I first saw an animal suffering at the hands of an experimenter, I was 13 years old and on a school field trip at a nearby laboratory.

My classmates and I watched as a worker wheeled out a monkey strapped to a chair. An experimenter clicked a button, and the abused animal immediately jutted out his arm for a drug injection—something that he'd been conditioned to do through pain and fear.

The experimenters thought the visiting students would be impressed—but I was sickened. That trembling, frightened monkey has been seared into my memory ever since.

Today, I'm a scientist, and I've dedicated my career to helping animals like him. We must do more to get animals out of laboratories, and my colleagues and I need your help right now.

That's why I'm asking you to support PETA's "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge.

Donate by our October 31 deadline and your gift will be matched to make twice the impact, bringing us closer to our $500,000 goal and helping us keep more monkeys, mice, and other animals from experiencing the horrors of crude and cruel experiments.

I'm part of a determined team of PETA scientists collaborating with experts around the world to promote the development and use of human-relevant, high-tech, non-animal testing methods. It's an exciting new era for science and medicine—and, of course, for the animals we're saving from misery and torment.

You can help power our work to save more animals by making a gift to PETA's "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge—right now, it will double in impact!

In recent months, scientists from PETA and our affiliates around the globe have helped push dozens of major food and beverage companies to enact policies against animal tests. Together, we've helped end deadly pesticide-poisoning tests on dogs in Brazil and South Korea, persuaded an Indian government agency to phase out requirements for drug companies to inject guinea pigs with chemicals, and told hundreds of scientists about alternatives to animal testing.

Most recently, my team collaborated with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on a data analysis to support the end of a cruel test that uses 720 birds each year. This followed the EPA's announcement of its plans to end tests on mammals—a victory almost two decades in the making that's paving the way for other historic progress.

And that's just scratching the surface of all that we're accomplishing with your help.

But we can't take such tremendous progress for granted while millions of monkeys, dogs, mice, and other animals are still suffering. We're undertaking a bold initiative to end entire categories of experiments on animals by 2025—and we need you with us to make that happen.

Donate right now to PETA's "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge and your gift will be MATCHED, up to our $500,000 goal. Even $5 will help us reach it!

From the moment I saw that terrified monkey being injected with drugs, I began to envision a future in which no animal is ever abused or killed in a laboratory. Slowly but surely, we're making that vision a reality.

Thank you for supporting my team's crucial work and for all that you do to make the world a kinder place for animals!
