The public deserves to know the truth View this email in a browser. [[link removed]] [[link removed]]John,

You might remember the story of the cats at the SUNY College of Optometry — cats
undergoing invasive and painful experimentation.

Behind closed doors, cats as young as four months old have their heads mounted
in frames and their eyes forced open with contact lenses. While still alive, their skulls are then removed so that electrodes can be
inserted into their brains.

Cruelty like this is the result of a legal system that too often treats animals
like these cats and kittens as mere property.

We’re in the middle of a legal battle right now to expose this cruelty to public
scrutiny — and we need your help to continue this and other legal work on behalf
of abused, neglected, and exploited animals. Your contribution to the Animal Legal Defense Fund before October 31 will be
matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000 — so please make a gift today.

Our lawsuit, filed on behalf of Citizens for Alternatives to Animal Research &
Experimentation (CAARE), is in response to SUNY’s refusal to release public
records regarding this experimentation.

GIVE NOW
[[link removed]]Under New York’s Freedom of Information Law — a state law similar to the federal
Freedom of Information Act, which favors government transparency — the public
has a legal right to know about the experiments being performed, and the SUNY
College of Optometry should and must release the records.

Please make a gift to the Animal Legal Defense Fund today to support our fight
on behalf of the SUNY cats and all of our lifesaving work for animals. Remember,
your gift before October 31 will be doubled up to $50,000!

For the animals,
