At midnight, our matching-gift opportunity expires—we must reach our $125,000 goal by then. You still have a few hours left to make a gift of just $3 or more that will double in impact to help keep dogs off the killing floor and protect animals of all species in 2020. Thank you for helping PETA make the new decade a compassionate one for animals. —Ingrid |

Dear Friend, When dogs are snatched off the streets and taken to slaughterhouses, they see the fear on the faces of the others just like them who are crammed into pens. They smell blood as they're dragged onto the killing floor. They hear the cries of fellow dogs who are bludgeoned and whose throats are slit before their skin is peeled off. Terrified and helpless, they'll meet the same fate as countless other dogs before them. After they're slaughtered, their skin will be torn off and sold. If we don't protect dogs—and other animals—from such intense cruelty, who will? Please help power PETA's work to end suffering by giving $3 or more now. Until midnight tonight, every dollar that you give will be matched, up to our $125,000 goal! A PETA Asia investigation exposed the horrors that dogs face in slaughterhouses across China: Workers grab them with pincers, bash them over the head, and leave many wailing and writhing until they die. Friend, I know it's heartbreaking to imagine dogs just like those we know and love enduring something so terrible—but we must face this abuse and do whatever we can to end it. Right now, before the year ends, while the impact of your gift will be doubled, we need you to act. Finding and exposing the hideous places where animals are harmed or killed, revealing who's behind that abuse, and publicizing the shocking images and videos of the suffering found there—all this is vital to our work to protect living, feeling beings. That's because when people know about the pain and suffering that lie behind items like leather gloves, fur coats, and wool sweaters, they act. PETA Asia's investigation led members of Congress to seek a ban on the importation of dog leather and inspired Michelin to reduce its leather glove usage by switching to synthetic gloves for the majority of the more than a million orders it makes each year. Today, PETA's campaigns are empowering more consumers than ever to choose fashions that don't bleed and encouraging hundreds of designers and retailers to shun fur, angora, mohair, exotic-animal skins, and other cruelly obtained materials. This kind of progress is only possible with the support of compassionate and determined people like you. We must keep pushing for a kinder world, and we need you with us before the midnight deadline tonight. Thank you for your compassion and generosity. |
