STEP ONE: BREED DISEASED DOGS

The horrifying experiments started nearly 40 years ago, when a researcher
at Texas A&M University acquired two golden retrievers with canine muscular
dystrophy . This painful disease causes a lifetime of unbearable suffering.

Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease. Until we stopped them, Texas A&M
experimenters were intentionally breeding puppies who would carry the dreaded
disease— dogs who were literally born to suffer .

This is Rusty, one of the original pair of dogs bred to create puppies for
canine muscular dystrophy experiments. He died in the laboratory when he was
just 6 years old.

GIVE $5 OR MORE BEFORE MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY AND YOUR GIFT WILL BE MATCHED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR
BY PETA DONOR ABBY BENJAMIN TO HELP END SUCH CRUELTY.

STEP TWO: EXPERIMENT ON DOGS AND WATCH THEM SUFFER

Problem: Puppies born with muscular dystrophy are too weak to suckle.
Experimenters' solution: Force-feed them.

Problem: At 6 weeks old, afflicted puppies' hind legs may shift forward. They
may be too weak and malformed to allow the dogs to walk.
Experimenters' solution: Keep the dogs in small enclosures—they aren't taken on
walks anyway.

Problem: At 10 weeks, all movement becomes a struggle. Weakness in the jaws
causes excessive salivation and makes swallowing difficult.
Experimenters' solution: Feed the dogs only thin gruel to keep them from choking.

IT'S TIME TO END THE TORTURE OF SWEET, TRUSTING DOGS. MAKE YOUR GIFT BEFORE
MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY AND IT WILL BE DOUBLED. EVEN $5 WILL HELP.

STEP THREE: LEARN NOTHING TO HELP
HUMANS WITH MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY

It's apparently not enough to know that the disease causes massive suffering.
Experimenters want to know just how much a dog's muscles have deteriorated. To
find out, they use a motorized lever to S-T-R-E-T-C-H the dog's limbs and RIP
muscles apart. Then they cut chunks of muscle out to study.

After 40 years of suffering and disease ... after four decades of metal cages,
extreme pain, and early deaths ... after countless ruined lives, broken hearts,
and small lifeless bodies ...

… after all that, the findings from these deadly experiments on dogs haven't
helped humans.

They have led to no cures. They have led to no treatments that reverse disease
symptoms. They have only caused suffering and death for sensitive, trusting
dogs. PLEASE help us end this cruelty TODAY while your gift will go twice as far.

We must shut down Texas A&M's muscular dystrophy laboratory and push toward
ending entire categories of experiments on animals by 2025—and you can help by
giving right now to keep our work going strong.
