When I saw a monkey strapped to a laboratory chair and trembling in fear, I knew I had to do something. Will you help PETA stop more animal tests? Yes, Double My 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 to 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. The image of that trembling, frightened monkey has been seared into my memory ever since.

As you read this, millions of animals like him are still facing misery and terror in laboratories. I've dedicated my career to getting them out—and I need your help.

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

Our October 31 deadline is fast approaching, so there are just a few days left to make a gift that will be matched to have twice the impact. If we reach our $500,000 goal, PETA will have $1 million to help prevent more monkeys, mice, and other sentient beings from experiencing the horrors of animal experiments.

Today, 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 us spare more animals by making a gift to PETA's "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge before time runs out.

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 on a data analysis to support the end of a cruel test that uses 720 birds each year. This followed the agency'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.

All this progress only scratches the surface of what we can accomplish together—but we can't take anything for granted as long as 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 can't do it without you.

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. The deadline is just days away, so there's no time to waste!

Thank you for your support.
