2020 is set to be an even bigger year for us and the animals we’re fighting to
protect. Our innovative legal work is more important than ever – and we couldn’t
do it without you. We are grateful to have you by our side, and we look forward
to keeping you updated on the high-impact legal battles you empower us to fight
for animals, like:

* Suing California Carolina Dogs: The case against this California breeding operation heads to trial this month . We’re aiming to shut down this illegal operation that has kept dogs in
unsanitary conditions and violated state laws.
* Fighting for Bella’s Bill: We’re continuing our fight for the passage of Bella’s Bill. Named in honor
of Bella, an 11-year-old dog who died as a result from the injuries she
sustained at the hands of her trusted guardian, Bella’s bill will change New
York state law so that the punishment fits the crime for animal abusers.
* Ending Factory Farm Abuse: Undercover investigations have revealed severe animal abuse on factory farms
— animals beaten, kicked, maimed, and thrown. The ability to investigate,
document, and publicize corporate agriculture’s abuses is imperative both to
the well-being of animals, and to our own health and food safety. We’re
currently challenging Ag-Gag laws — which seek to make undercover
investigations of factory farms illegal — in Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, and
North Carolina.

We have many tough battles ahead in 2020. With your help, we’ll keep fighting in
courtrooms and legislatures across the country — standing as the legal voice
animals need.

Thank you for calling for justice on behalf of animals. With you beside us, we
can make the world a better place for them.

For the animals,

Stephen Wells
Executive Director
