Dear Anne:
As the holidays approach and we pause to spend time with family and friends, we want to say THANK YOU and let you know how grateful we are for all that you do for animals.
Needless to say, it has been a year of great financial struggle.
We are deeply concerned about our ability to continue vital programs if the economy doesn't turn around soon. The simple fact is while less money is coming in, it costs more to meet basic expenses.
 Although IDA has accomplished so much for animals in need, there is much more that needs to be done. We know what a challenge it is financially for many of our donors and yet we have no choice but to rely on your continued generosity.
In these difficult economic times, please continue to support our work for animals by making a SPECIAL HOLIDAY GIFT today, allowing us to continue and intensify our efforts in the coming year.
As we contemplate the remarkable achievements your support made possible, we want to assure you that, despite the holiday season, IDA staff members remain on the job, working tirelessly to improve the lives of animals around the world.
Those who abuse, torture, and kill animals don't take time off for the holidays …
and neither do we!
This is why we hope you will continue to help us fight against those who would deprive animals not only of a decent life, but of life itself. Please add IDA, and the animals we serve, to your gift list this holiday season. With your gift, we will make a huge difference for animals by:
 Establishing relationships in South Korea with government ministries and continuing our work to ban dog meat and strengthen laws for the rights of dogs and cats.- Working to end chimpanzee experimentation and all vivisection once and for all.
- Expanding our efforts on behalf of elephants in zoos and circuses.
- Fighting for the freedom of America's wild horses.
- Increasing the life-saving work of IDA Africa, IDA India, and Hope Animal Sanctuary.
And we are escalating our campaigns to end the horrors of factory farming, puppy mills, and the fur industry—all of the industries that exploit, mutilate, torture, and kill the animals with whom we share our planet, be they on land or sea.
With your ongoing support, we are confident that a better future is in store for more and more of our animal friends—a world where our fellow beings will be treated as more than property, commodities, objects, or things—a world in which they will be treated responsibly, honoring their essential value, feelings, and lives.
You have our commitment and promise that, with your continued support in the form of a SPECIAL HOLIDAY DONATION, we will stop at nothing to end the horrors and cruelties that befall so many innocent beings across our nation, across the world.
So please, as you are completing your holiday gift list this season, don't forget IDA and the animals on whose behalf we work so tirelessly every day.
And don't forget, not for a moment, that those who cause them pain and suffering don't close down for the holidays.
Please share the holiday spirit with the animals by making the
most generous tax-deductible donation you can—today.
 Because of your past generosity, thousands of animals now live in peace and dignity. Your ongoing support will enable us to keep saving more and more animals. On their behalf we offer our heartfelt and profound gratitude.
Best wishes to you and your loved ones for a wonderful holiday,
The Staff and Board of In Defense of Animals (IDA)
