UPDATE: Rescuers still need your help

Dear Friend,

When the volcanic island of Taal in the Philippines exploded in a cloud of ash and debris earlier this week, a PETA Asia emergency rescue team went to work immediately on the ground doing all that it could to get animals out of harm's way and provide the dogs, horses, chickens, and others who managed to survive the disaster with the food and veterinary care that they urgently needed.

Please, help PETA Asia's team reach more animals by making a special gift right now.

Taal is an isolated, impoverished island in the Philippines. For years, PETA Asia conducted lifesaving clinics there, helping hundreds of malnourished and exhausted horses who were used to ferry tourists up and down the volcano. The destruction caused by this massive eruption is putting the life of every single animal on the island at risk.

While many animals died under inches of choking ash from the volcano, many others—including dogs and others left behind when the island was evacuated—are still trapped there. The team has already helped dozens of dogs and cats affected by the eruption, but the work necessary to reach the others is far from over.

Will you donate to PETA Asia and help provide the emergency rescue team with the resources that it needs today?

With so much devastation around them, the scale of the work yet to come may seem daunting, but each team member is committed to doing whatever they can to bring relief to the many dogs, cats, and other animals who are waiting for help.

Thank you for your compassion and for all that you do to support PETA Asia's vital work.
