Dear Shannon,You may remember that last week I sent you an e-mail in which I wrote about the terrible plight of Daisy, a dog who was fed a “plant growth regulator” in a gruesome laboratory experiment.I'm sure you were as horrified as I was when I learned that this toxic substance was given with her food, causing her to become sicker and sicker. She was racked with painful muscle spasms, and her back legs became so weak that she could no longer stand. Eventually, Daisy's small, poisoned body gave up, and she died even before she was scheduled to be killed by those who were experimenting on her.Her single story is disturbing enough, but she is just one of the many millions of individual

animals who are poisoned, burned, cut open, electrocuted, and then gassed, beheaded or otherwise killed for the sake of "science".Please make an online donation to PETA today. Your gift can help us do so much to save animals like Daisy and end the terrible suffering of animals around the world. As you read this e-mail, countless dogs – just like Daisy – as well as mice, rabbits, cats and many other animals around the world are suffering in outdated and unnecessary animal tests. Last year alone, more than 3 million individual animals in the UK were killed in these cruel tests.People of conscience have always opposed needless and cruel experiments on animals, but thanks to PETA's hard work and the dedication of our supporters, animal testing has been laid bare as yesterday’s science – of no benefit to anyone except those who conduct it.By donating today, you could help answer the cries of the millions of individual animals who are killed in laboratories in the UK every year.We know that animal tests are bad science. Official figures show that an astonishing 92 per cent of drugs tested on animals prove to be ineffective or unsafe for humans.As renowned pathologist Dr Bruno Fedi points out, "The abolition of vivisection

would in no way halt medical progress, just the opposite is the case. .... No surgeon can gain the least knowledge from experiments on animals, and all the great surgeons of the past and of the present day are in agreement on that".But even with that knowledge, animal testing continues, and animals whose minds and bodies are being shattered in laboratories desperately need our help. Kind regards,Ingrid E NewkirkFounderPS There is no justification for another dog, cat, rabbit, monkey, pig or other animal

to suffer and die in pointless and outdated tests. With your help, PETA has the power to end these experiments. Please help us by making an online donation today!
