Dear Friend,

Gandalf , a monkey confined to a solitary laboratory cage at the University of
Pittsburgh (Pitt), was so starved for companionship that when humans walked
past, he gestured to try to get them to groom his back—a common act of affection
for monkeys in nature.

But he received no warmth or kindness— only torment . After a severely stressed
monkey caged nearby bit Gandalf's hand down to the tendons, the veterinarian on
call refused to examine his injury. Instead, she just prescribed ibuprofen—a
woefully inadequate treatment for such a serious wound.

Gandalf was then forced to undergo an experimental surgery. Three weeks later,
he was euthanized and sealed in a biohazard bag after experimenters took tissue
samples from his corpse.

Today, tens of thousands of other monkeys still languish in laboratories like
Pitt's, experiencing pain, fear, and loneliness just as Gandalf did.

If you and I don't help them, who will? Please, pitch in just $5 or more now to
help end cruel and deadly experiments on animals.

A PETA observer saw other monkeys in Pitt's laboratory slowly losing their minds
from the stress of captivity—pacing, rocking, and displaying other repetitive
behavior. And the laboratory staff's incompetence didn't end with Gandalf's
hideous injury. When a monkey who may have been infected with a dangerous pathogen
later escaped from a cage, workers allegedly attempted to cover it up rather than
warning the public.

PETA is determined to end the abuse and negligence that we uncovered at Pitt and
dozens of other universities and laboratories—and with help from compassionate
people like you, we're making landmark progress to reduce suffering:

* Through petitions, demonstrations, and more, PETA is urging Texas A&M University
to stop intentionally breeding dogs with canine muscular dystrophy and torturing
them in ghastly tests, and we're calling on Johns Hopkins University to shut down
nightmarish neurological experiments on barn owls. Donate now and help protect
more animals from such horrors.

* PETA opposed a dangerous "lab-gag" bill that would have allowed experimenters in
California to ignore state open-records laws and conceal the cruelty of their
federally funded experiments on animals. The bill was then pulled—and your gift
today will help ensure that we're able to expose and stop more animal tests.

* We persuaded pharmaceutical giants AbbVie, Johnson & Johnson, and Roche to pull
the plug on the archaic forced swim test —sparing thousands of mice, rats, and
other animals the terror of nearly drowning. We're now keeping the pressure on Eli
Lilly, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Pfizer to do the same. Will you help us build on
our momentum?

As long as even a single animal is suffering in a laboratory, we must push forward—and
we can't do it without your support.

Please make a gift of $5 or more now and help prevent more animals from suffering in
laboratories and cruel experiments.
