PETA Town Hall
 

Dear Aaaaaaa,

I hope you were able to join us for Wednesday's town hall meeting. In case you didn't have a chance to attend, we've posted a video of the entire presentation online.

It's only been a few days since our town hall, and already, there have been significant developments in a couple of the topics that we discussed.

On Wednesday, general counsel to PETA Jeff Kerr brought up PETA's recent lawsuit alleging that the University of California–Davis violated California law by refusing to release footage of its publicly funded experiments on monkeys. This week, PETA's legal team expanded our work to expose and stop such cruel experiments by filing two new lawsuits to compel universities in Massachusetts and Oregon to release their own photographs and videotapes of experiments on monkeys.

We also ramped up our growing campaign to halt deadly experiments on rats at the University of Delaware with a special voice-mail message from actor and longtime PETA supporter Edie Falco, which she left for thousands of the university's faculty and staff, urging them to push for an end to these cruel and ineffective tests.

Everything that we discussed in this week's town hall meeting—from winning challenges to insidious "ag-gag" laws to scoring precedent-setting legal victories for animals in captivity—is made possible by the compassion and generosity of PETA members. A powerful way you can help our expert legal team achieve even more for animals is by giving to the PETA Legal Fund today. We must raise $100,000 by midnight Sunday, and your donation right now will push us closer this important goal.

Thank you for everything that you do for animals.

Sincerely,

Colleen O'Brien
Vice President of Communications
PETA
