DEADLINE: 5PM 29TH OCTOBER
------------------------------------------------------------


** Will you help us create an Active Response Team
to help animals?
------------------------------------------------------------


** Please make your pledge before 29th October!
------------------------------------------------------------


Dear John,

I want to help more animals. As an animal advocate, I know that you want that too. That is why I have put together a plan for a new dedicated ‘Active Response Team’ that I want to share with you exclusively today.

As one of the only charities dedicated to investigating places like zoos, aquariums and circuses, we receive a staggering number of reports from the public about animal suffering every year.

We investigate as many as we can, but we urgently need to increase our capacity to be able to deal with them all.

So that is why I am asking for your help today, to help set up a dedicated Active Response Team. This team will include researchers and investigators, who will deal with these reports quickly and efficiently to help animals.

John, I am not actually asking you to donate today. I am asking you to simply make a pledge of a donation for £100 or more to donate at Christmas time.

We need to raise at least £5,500 to deliver this project. And we have a fantastic opportunity to raise this in December, by taking part in The Big Christmas Challenge! ([link removed]) As part of the challenge we will be offering to match donations we receive from 30th November to 7th December this year!

This a great incentive and means we can raise even more to help animals!

But to be able to do this, I need your help.

I need to find a small group of kind donors who can pledge at least £100 each by this Friday, 29th October 2021. I need to secure a total of £2,500 in pledges.

Amazingly, we have £2,000 secured so far from kind people like you. ([link removed]) Will you help us raise the final £500 by making a pledge of £100 or more?

** What will the Active Response team do?
------------------------------------------------------------

By having a dedicated response team incorporating researcher and investigator roles, we will increase our capacity to help animals. We will be able to collect more evidence of animal suffering, licence breaches and other issues at captive facilities, to log with local authorities. Action can be taken sooner to help animals and hold businesses to account. This will contribute overall to our advocacy work and campaigns to regulate and restrict captive situations which harm animals.

This work will also give us further evidence to expose animal suffering failings in captive facilities such as zoos, aquariums, circuses and the exotic pet trade. The information we collect can be used in our advocacy and public awareness work. It will give us more evidence and data to supply to authorities such as councils, government bodies and other authorities to END animal exploitation.

Whether they be a snake confined to a plastic box in a mobile zoo, a horse forced to perform circus tricks, a fish kidnapped from the wild to stock an aquarium or an owl tethered for long hours at a falconry centre; thousands of animals are currently suffering in captivity.

Having a dedicated response team will enable us to act in a timely and thorough way to investigate reports of animal abuse in captivity, as well as undertake detailed research regarding the exploitation of animals.
