| Dear Aaaaaaa, I've helped PETA rescue more animals than I can count—but I'll never forget the terrified meow of a kitten that I heard while looking for animals abandoned to fend for themselves in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. We followed her cries and found her clinging desperately to a patio umbrella, trying to stay out of the water. Her siblings were soaking-wet and huddled atop a nearby trash can. Caring PETA donors helped provide our team with the tools needed to bring those kittens to safety. But if we hadn't been able to respond immediately, I don't think they would have survived. Will you help ensure that PETA's rescue team is able to be there for animals in need by making a generous gift of just $5 or more to the Animal Emergency Fund right now? We have to raise $30,000 before the August 15 deadline so that our team can hit the ground running when the next disaster strikes. As a small gesture of our gratitude, we'll send you a free copy of our disaster-preparedness guide and an "In Case of Emergency" sticker to help you keep your own animal companions safe in an emergency.  Urgent rescue operations in the aftermath of tragedies can be costly and complex. Whether we're scooping up dogs left stranded on piles of debris or wading through flooded streets searching for frightened animals, every situation that we encounter requires both careful planning and the flexibility to switch gears at a moment's notice. But if we're short on resources, we could be delayed in launching a rescue effort—at a time when even a few hours lost can mean suffering or death for an animal in dire straits. Please don't wait to make your gift—we're entering peak hurricane season, and thousands may need our help when the next major storm strikes. Support the Animal Emergency Fund with a gift of $5 or more now! PETA was the only animal-rescue group on the ground in some areas after the devastation of hurricanes Harvey and Maria. Our presence—and the resources that we bring with us—allowed animals to be saved who may never have received help otherwise. I can't emphasize enough how important you are, Aaaaaaa, to making that kind of lifesaving work happen. Thank you so much for being a vital part of this committed, compassionate community—we truly couldn't do everything that we do without you. Sincerely, | ||||
