DEADLINE EXTENDED: $50,000 matching gift opportunity View this email in a browser. [[link removed]] [[link removed]]John,

Thanks to an outpouring of support from the Animal Legal Defense Fund community,
we are extending our Not Property matching gift campaign! Every dollar you give before October 31 will make twice the impact toward
winning justice for animals like Bella.

You may remember Bella’s story. She was an 11-year-old shepherd mix from New
York, and her abuser beat her so severely with a shovel that she had to be
euthanized.

New York prosecutors pursued the maximum sentence for this crime, which included
a felony charge of aggravated cruelty to animals. But Bella’s abuser was sentenced to just four months in county jail.

As long as animals like Bella are treated as mere property under the law,
abusers will continue to escape with a little slap on the wrist. We are fighting
right now to strengthen animal cruelty laws in New York — and other states
across the country — so that animal victims like Bella get the justice they
deserve. Because four months in county jail is not justice! But we’re going to need your help to see it through.

Make a gift to the Animal Legal Defense Fund right now and your contribution
will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 — doubling your impact for
animals like Bella and millions of others like her.

For the animals,
