Dear Friend,

The holidays are a time to share joy, peace, and compassion with those we love. And this holiday season, we're asking you to extend that kindness to others who need it most—animals like the lonely dog forced to live outside in the driving snow and freezing rain or the frightened monkey condemned to a laboratory cage and experimented on over and over again.

Now there's an easy way to spread kindness during the holidays: PETA Presents!

It's easy—choose a gift and send an e-card to someone you want to share the gift with and we'll put your donation to work for animals immediately. Holiday shopping has never been simpler or more fun.

You can select gifts such as a toy or a bale of straw for a lonely "backyard dog," or support our team of scientists who work hard to promote innovative new testing methods that don't harm animals. Whatever gift you choose, you'll be strengthening PETA's work to stop suffering and abuse.
