Help us end deadly experiments on animals!
|
Dear Aaaaaaa,
As the world nears a million deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic, you'd expect its brightest minds to take advantage of human cell–based models, banks of supercomputers, and other cutting-edge testing tools to produce the best chance at success in developing effective vaccines and treatments for COVID-19.
Yet today, monkeys, mice, ferrets, hamsters, and other animals are STILL being deliberately infected with the novel coronavirus, force-fed or injected with drugs, and killed. This is despite decades of failed animal experiments and the chasm of genetic and physiological differences between humans and other animals who don't suffer from COVID-19 as we do.
In a time when so many are suffering because of the pandemic, experimenting on animals is unethical, unjustifiable, and potentially dangerous.
Now is your best opportunity to do twice as much to help end crude and cruel tests on animals. Until October 31, every gift you make through PETA's "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge will be matched, up to our $500,000 goal. If we meet our goal, we'll have $1 million to give an immediate boost to our critically important work to end the abuse. Even $2 can help us get there!
When politicians and decisionmakers need a push to recognize the cruelty and wastefulness of animal testing, it falls to kind people like you and other PETA members to demand that humans do better. PETA and our international affiliates are pressuring the World Health Organization, the U.S. government, and even university administrations to focus on sophisticated, human-relevant methods in the search for safe and effective COVID-19 treatments and vaccines. We're also working determinedly to oppose the use of animals in all experiments and to promote the development and use of superior, non-animal methods. Please join this exciting campaign by donating $2 or more to the "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge right now. Your gift today will be matched, dollar for dollar.
