John, did you see your 2019 case wrap-up? View this email in a browser. [[link removed]] [[link removed]]John,

I truly hope you know the profound difference you are making in the lives of
animals. You’ll see from Stephen’s email below that we made real progress
together this year. But as long as animals are abused and exploited and go without the protections
they deserve, we must continue to fight for them. That’s why I urge you to please make your tax-deductible year-end gift today.

The cases below represent a small fraction of the work we do on a daily basis to
protect animals and establish the comprehensive legal protections they need and
deserve. Your ongoing support for the Animal Legal Defense Fund is critical to
securing victories in cases like these and every effort we undertake for
defenseless animals. Your lifesaving year-end gift now will help ensure we can continue to fight on
animals’ behalf wherever and whenever they need us.

PROTECT ANIMALS NOW
[[link removed]] For the animals,

Matthew Liebman
Director of Litigation

John,

As we close out 2019, I’m sending an update on cases you’ve been supporting, and
animals you’ve been fighting for this year. You are with us in every courtroom
we enter — you give animals a voice in our legal system and bring abusers to justice. We’ve won key victories with you beside us.

Our fight continues now for animals who are still abused, neglected, and
exploited. We have a critical case scheduled for trial in January, and each day we are
fighting for justice for animals in every corner of the country. Your generous year-end support now
[[link removed]] will help us pursue cases like these and win:

Fighting a California Puppy Hoarder

The Animal Legal Defense Fund filed a lawsuit against the owner of California
Carolina Dogs — an enterprise that has bred dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary
conditions for years — demanding that the court shut down this illegal breeding operation. We secured a preliminary injunction that required the owner to cease possessing
dogs during the pendency of the litigation, and the trial is scheduled for early
2020.

Protecting Gray Wolves

Fur-Ever Wild, a roadside zoo in Minnesota, has a gruesome business model.
Fur-Ever Wild customers can pay for “pet n’ play” sessions where they handle
threatened gray wolf puppies. But when the wolves get too old to handle, the owner has admitted to killing
them for their pelts and other body parts. We’ve filed a lawsuit against Fur-Ever Wild to stop the killing and move the
wolves and pups to a bona fide sanctuary, and this week we will be going to trial to make our case.

Challenging Iowa’s Ag-Gag 2.0 Law

In 2017, we led a coalition in challenging Iowa’s first Ag-Gag law, which sought
to criminalize whistleblowing on factory farms, slaughterhouses, and puppy
mills. We won, but Iowa’s governor signed a second Ag-Gag bill into law that is
substantively similar to the first. It’s a blatant attempt to stifle free speech
about animal cruelty. We’re challenging Iowa’s “Ag-Gag 2.0,” and just secured an important victory — a court order barring enforcement of that
unconstitutional law while our suit proceeds. We are confident that the court will strike down Ag-Gag 2.0 just as it did its
predecessor.

Ending Invasive Cat Experiments

Since 2002, the State University of New York (SUNY) College of Optometry has
used taxpayer dollars to conduct painful and invasive experiments on the brains
of cats. In 2018, we filed a lawsuit on behalf of Citizens for Alternatives to
Animal Research & Experimentation in response to SUNY’s refusal to release
public records regarding the experiments. After more than a year of fighting, we
secured a victory! As part of the settlement, SUNY has produced documents
proving its College of Optometry has ceased its experimentation on cats and will provide the previously withheld public records regarding the cat
experiments and any records about similar research carried out on nonhuman
primates.

John, we cannot do this work without you. Another year is coming to an end but our fight to protect animals in the courts
and in legislatures across the country continues. Please donate now to support all our legal battles for animals.
