[Peta] Take a Stand Against Cruel Animal Tests

[Guest guest]

Dear friend,

 

Would you want someone you love and care about—or even a stranger—to

spend most of his or her life imprisoned, alone, and subjected to

outdated and horrific experiments for frivolous products?

 

For tens of millions of animals in laboratories, including dogs, cats,

rabbits, mice, monkeys, birds, and turtles, there is no choice, because

they are used in cruel and unnecessary product-testing experiments.

These innocent animals die in pain, alone, often without ever feeling

the warmth of the sun or the companionship of other creatures.

 

All these animals feel pain and fear just as cats, dogs, and other

companion animals do. And they, too, need our help and compassion.

 

*In fact, in just the last minute since you opened and started reading

this e-mail, approximately 219 animals have died in labs in the U.S.

alone. *

 

The truth is that animal tests teach us next to nothing about the health

of humans because other species react differently. They absorb,

metabolize, and eliminate substances differently than humans do. Testing

on animals isn't just unreliable, it's also unnecessary. There are more

effective—and often, less expensive—non-animal alternatives that can be

used instead.

 

*Three Ways to Take a Stand Against Animal Tests Right Now*

 

*1.*Buy Cruelty-Free Products!

<http://getactive.peta.org/ct/q1wn7V510zWV/> Download PETA's list

of companies that do and that don't test on animals. Let

corporations that test on animals know why you won't buy their

products. The threat of consumer boycott was a crucial part of

PETA's recent victories in halting ludicrous animal tests by two

major juice companies, Welch's and Ocean Spray—tests that can be

done without harming a single animal.

 

*2.*Speak up for animals

<http://getactive.peta.org/ct/qdwn7V510zWC/> with the help of our

Top 10 Things to Know About Animal Testing list. Keep this list

handy when talking with friends and coworkers about animal testing.

 

*3.*Support our work to end animal experiments by making a

donation to PETA. <http://getactive.peta.org/ct/q7wn7V510zI1/>

PETA is fighting 24-7 against companies that maim and kill animals

in cruel and unnecessary animal experiments. We've persuaded more

than 550 companies to stop, but there are others that continue to

conduct these tests.

 

Even if it's one company at a time, this is a fight that can be won. But

only if we have your support.

 

Thank you for your action and for your concern for all animals.

 

Kind regards,

 

Ingrid E. Newkirk

President

 

P.S. Please help PETA stop animal tests by taking all three action

points mentioned in this e-mail. Animals, who are all loving individuals

just like the ones we share our homes with, are counting on our—on

your—help. Thank you!
