Dear Friend,

No monkey—no living, feeling being—should ever face this kind of abuse, this kind of torture:

Workers at Covance, one of the world's largest contract laboratory companies, shoved tubes up monkeys' nostrils and into their stomachs and then pumped them full of chemicals.

Monkeys choked. They gagged. They bled. It's impossible to imagine the terror that they must have felt.

Today, you can help us relegate such cruel procedures to the history books. Donate now to help power PETA's work to stop more animal tests and shut down hideous facilities like those that Covance operates. Even a $5 gift will help!

Why would anyone ever do this to a sensitive primate? For Covance, it comes down to the bottom line: Experimenters there pump animals full of chemicals, pesticides, and other substances for just about any company that contracts the corporation's hideous services.

We must not rest until all cruel laboratories close their doors. Your much-needed gift will help us promote cutting-edge, animal-free research methods and create a kinder world.

Monkeys in Covance's laboratories were shown not an ounce of compassion. PETA eyewitnesses recorded workers hitting and slapping them as they were transferred from barren cages to crude experiments and back again.

Covance has repeatedly been cited and fined for animal welfare violations, including for housing a monkey in isolation for nearly eight months and leaving 13 monkeys to swelter to death when thermostats malfunctioned.

We must spare more animals such abuse and neglect. Give just $5 or more right now to strengthen PETA's campaigns against animal experiments.

We're making landmark progress to end animal tests and bring science into the 21st century.

After PETA exposed the horrors that took place there, a massive Covance facility in Virginia was shut down and demolished. Contracts for animal experiments are declining precipitously, while more scientists and regulatory agencies than ever are embracing humane, non-animal test methods.

But Covance is still operating—condemning thousands of monkeys every year to being yanked from their homes and shipped to laboratories. And around the world, many other animals are still being locked in barren cages and forced to endure excruciating, invasive tests.

Will you donate today to help them?

Thank you for your generous support.

Kind regards,
