Tudo sobre tudo

Dear Lourenço Nisticò,

Can animals—and PETA—count on your support as our newest member?

Our urgent effort to recruit 2,012 new PETA members before the end of January was launched when a generous donor agreed to give PETA $10 for every new member who helps us reach that goal. But with only hours left in this campaign, we're still nearly 200 members away from finding 2,012 new voices for animals.

Now, another PETA member has agreed to step up this challenge! If we meet our goal before midnight tomorrow night, a proud member will give an additional $5,000 to strengthen PETA's groundbreaking work for animals. This exciting news means that we now have the potential for an additional $25,120 to sustain PETA's lifesaving campaigns during the coming year, but only with the help of dedicated supporters like you.

Will you speak out against animal abuse by becoming a PETA member right now?

Join today, and we'll send you a free copy of our 2012 "Rescued" calendar, featuring images and stories of some of the wonderful animals PETA donors have helped us save—animals like Tess and Amelia, two cute hamsters who were among the 26,000 animals seized by law-enforcement officials from a cruel exotic-animal dealer after a PETA undercover investigation. That company closed down, but our investigators and researchers are right now following up on new reports of horrific suffering. Your membership donation is critical if we are to reach every animal in need.

From prompting the seizure of hundreds of animals kept in hellish conditions by a South Carolina hoarder to halting deadly U.S. Army exercises on monkeys, every hard-fought victory for animals during the past year happened only thanks to the financial support of thousands of compassionate individuals just like you.

But even with all of PETA's recent successes, animals are still being beaten and kept in chains to force them to perform for human "entertainment." They are right now being confined to tiny, filthy cages on factory farms. They are right now being burned, poisoned, and mutilated in horrific experiments. And they are being electrocuted, strangled, and skinned alive for "fashion."

It's for these—and all animals who at this very moment are crying out for help—that I'm asking you to become a PETA member right now.

For all that you do for animals—both today and throughout 2012—thank you!

Kind regards,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
President

P.S. Your tax-deductible gift today—no matter the size—will help us accomplish more for animals this year. Please help us reach our goal during this special membership drive by becoming a PETA member.
