We're doubling your impact to help free more than 30 dogs from this cruel lab in Texas through midnight tonight! Match My Gift

Dear Friend,

Right now, experimenters at Texas A&M University (TAMU) are tormenting some three dozen golden retrievers and other dogs bred to develop painful, debilitating canine muscular dystrophy.

These dogs are trapped in lives of utter misery: lonely, sickly, and weak. They're desperately waiting for someone to step in and save them—and today, that kind person could be you.

If we can raise $75,000 before midnight to help free them, PETA donor Abby Benjamin will DOUBLE your impact, matching your gift dollar for dollar. We've never had an opportunity like this before—will you pitch in to help save these terrified animals right now?

The gentle dogs at TAMU are condemned to barren metal cells in the school's laboratory, many without even the comfort of a blanket. Their muscles have wasted away, so many struggle to walk or even stand—and their swollen tongues and weakened jaws make it difficult to swallow even thin gruel.

Their suffering doesn't end there: Experimenters abuse the dogs in crude, excruciating experiments—including stretching their muscles with motorized levers and then cutting chunks out to examine.

Torture like this should have gone out with the Dark Ages, and by making a special gift right now, you'll be showing TAMU and other schools that it has no place in higher education, either.

Please give right now and help us meet our $75,000 goal before Thursday. Your much-needed gift to this challenge will do twice as much to help free the dogs suffering at TAMU before it's too late and protect other animals from experimentation!

No animal should be treated like disposable laboratory equipment. PETA's high-profile online campaigns and powerful demonstrations at school events are inspiring veterinarians, students, educators, and scientists to join us in opposing cruel experiments, and we're changing the public's perception of all animal tests.

This is a campaign we can win—but only with the determination of you and other caring PETA supporters. Already our intense pressure is turning the tide against TAMU's cruel experiments. Today, the school has fewer dogs than when our efforts began, and following intense pressure from PETA and hundreds of thousands of our supporters—including physicians, scientists, and human muscular dystrophy patients—TAMU's laboratory has stopped breeding dogs to develop the debilitating disease.

But as long as dogs are suffering, we must work to stop these hideous experiments.

Will you make a gift of at least $5 to this important matching-gift challenge before midnight? Dogs' lives are at stake!
