  | |  Dear Anne,
Meet Hugs, a playful young beagle who was confined to a facility that tested insecticides and other toxic chemicals used in companion-animal products—until a recent PETA investigation prompted the closing of the laboratory in which she was imprisoned. Now, Hugs is in a wonderful new home, thanks to you.
You can help save more animals like her by giving right now to have your gift doubled—dollar for dollar. Our online "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge ends in just a few days, and we still need your help to meet our $250,000 goal. Your gift today can lead to many more laboratory closures in the future.
Hugs was one of more than 250 animals released from a North Carolina laboratory following PETA's shocking undercover investigation. She and dozens of other cats and dogs are no longer trapped in the facility where employees screamed and cursed at the animals, slammed them into cages, lifted them by their ears, and denied them even basic veterinary care. However, for animals in other laboratories, there is still no reprieve.
This year alone, more than 100 million individual animals will be condemned to death in U.S. laboratories. PETA is the only animal rights organization that has successfully prompted the closure of an animal testing laboratory in the U.S., and with your help today, more closures will come.
PETA has helped spare millions of individual animals—including dogs, cats, monkeys, rabbits, pigs, birds, mice, and rats—from suffering and dying in laboratories. But countless more animals are right now facing death in cruel and pointless experiments. The online "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge is a vital opportunity to secure the funds that will help sustain our fight for these animals. We've already raised $192,023 but are still short of our goal with just days to go until the matching grant period ends.
Time is running out to have your gift doubled to help animals like Hugs. Please donate online to PETA right now and do twice as much to save animals from the nightmare of life and death in a laboratory cage.
Thank you for everything that you do for animals.
Kind regards,
Ingrid E. Newkirk
President
P.S. Hugs and others who were freed from that horrific North Carolina laboratory escaped a life of painful animal tests only because someone like you cared enough to support PETA's lifesaving work for animals in laboratories. For animals just like her who are right now being poisoned, burned, shocked, cut open, and killed in laboratories, I urge you to make the most generous gift that you can today in order to have it doubled to stop animal tests.
