	When I saw a monkey strapped to a laboratory chair and trembling in fear, I knew I had to do something. Will you support PETA's work to protect animals from pain and terror?   Dear Carl, When I first saw an animal suffering at the hands of an experimenter—on a school field trip to a nearby laboratory—I was 13 years old. My classmates and I watched as a worker wheeled out a monkey strapped to a chair. The clicking noise of a button was used to prompt this abused animal to jut out his arm for a drug injection—a response that he had been conditioned to make through pain and fear. The experimenters thought we'd be impressed. But I was sickened—and that trembling, frightened primate has been seared into my memory ever since. Today, I'm a scientist, and I'm sad to say that since that day more than two decades ago, I've seen many more animals tormented in horrific experiments. But thanks to caring people like you, my colleagues and I have been able to contribute to the tremendous progress that we're seeing toward the creation and adoption of non-animal testing methods. That's why today, I'm asking you to support our groundbreaking work to end animal testing and other cruelty with a generous gift to PETA. Even $3 will help! As a researcher in PETA's Regulatory Testing Department, I'm dedicating my career to stopping the horrors that I've seen in laboratories. My colleagues and I collaborate with government agencies, companies, and university researchers to expand the use of human-relevant, non-animal testing methods and to promote the development of new ones. And this work even goes beyond helping animals—it also has a big impact on science and human medicine: International government officials are working side by side with us to review new, non-animal tests and halt duplicative experiments that can kill thousands of animals for data that already exist. In response to feedback from PETA supporters, major corporations are changing their ways in order to satisfy the growing demand for products that aren't tested on animals. Prompted by groups such as the PETA International Science Consortium Ltd., scientists are making breakthrough discoveries as they develop testing methods that are more compassionate and more effective than archaic animal tests. But as long as so many monkeys, dogs, and other animals are still suffering in laboratories and other dismal places, we can't take this progress for granted. Working to stop animal testing isn't cheap, and we need you with us so that we can keep pushing for change for as long as it takes. Will you help by making a gift of $3 or more right now? Your donation will power PETA's work to stop tests on animals! From the moment I saw that monkey trembling with fear as experimenters injected him with drugs, I began to envision a future in which no animal would ever be abused or killed in a laboratory—or exploited for any human interest. Slowly but surely, with the help of compassionate supporters like you, we're making that vision a reality. Thank you for all that you do for animals. Sincerely, Jeff Brown Biologics Specialist Regulatory Testing Department People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
