	We must raise $25,000 by April 30 to help prevent animals from suffering in crude training exercises. Will you help us?   Dear Aaaaaaa, For decades, students in trauma training courses were forced to cut holes in the necks of dogs, goats, and other animals; stab the sacs surrounding the animals' hearts with needles; and cut into their abdomens with scalpels before finally killing them. Such crude and cruel exercises did nothing to prepare the students for the medical emergencies that they'd face in the real world. Today, superior modern simulators that spare animals cruelty have become the standard for this training in the U.S., Canada, and many other countries. But in some nations, students are still being forced to cut into live animals simply because there aren't enough resources to pay for these lifesaving modern training methods. With your help today, we can change that! Will you make an urgently needed gift right now and help us keep thousands of animals from being killed in trauma trainings? By midnight April 30, we need to raise $25,000 to support this vital work and supply simulators that will save animals. Every donation you make—even as little as $5—will push us closer to our goal. There's a very good reason why so many trauma training programs are eager to stop cutting into animals. The simulators embraced by modern medical educators replicate human anatomy, including realistic layers of skin and tissue, ribs, and internal organs. The simulators allow students to practice surgical procedures until they're proficient. That's in sharp contrast to cutting into live animals—in which there are never any do-overs. Studies have found that people trained on such simulators are more skilled than those trained on animals. Today, thanks to the determined work of our scientists and researchers, 22 countries have switched from killing animals to using state-of-the-art simulators donated by PETA. But animals condemned to trauma training courses in other countries are still being killed, suffering because their programs lack the funds to switch to modern technology. Your generous gift today—before our April 30 deadline—will help prevent thousands of dogs and other animals from being cut open alive. PETA has helped to replace the use of animals in trauma courses in nearly every corner of the world, from Costa Rica to China. We won't slow down until no student is made to cut into and kill a sensitive animal. To give you some idea of the impact that our vital work is having, in the less than five years since Egyptian trauma programs first received new simulators, roughly 2,500 dogs and pigs have been spared. When you multiply that by all the other training programs that PETA has helped in recent years, the scale of suffering that we're preventing together is enormous. Please, help keep this momentum going by giving today and helping us meet our $25,000 goal to provide more lifesaving simulators. Your gift before our April 30 deadline will make an immediate difference in the lives of dogs, pigs, and other animals who need us. Kind regards, Ingrid E. Newkirk President
