	Take action to help stop the mutilation of dogs and other animals in deadly training courses. Give just $5 or more today and help us meet our $25,000 goal!   Dear Aaaaaaa, Imagine the terror of being taken to a laboratory, tied to a table, and mutilated with surgical instruments by a group of strangers in white coats. This isn't the plot of a twisted horror movie. It's what's happening to dogs right now in surgical trauma training courses in some countries. Dogs and other animals condemned to these cruel courses will often have holes cut into their necks and needles stabbed into the sac surrounding their hearts. Then their abdomens will be cut open. Some of these animals may be inadequately anesthetized, forcing them to feel every agonizing moment before they're killed. There's a better way to train doctors—by using sophisticated, lifelike trauma simulators that don't harm animals. Today, PETA has a special opportunity to replace animals in trauma courses with simulators and keep thousands of dogs from ever experiencing this misery—and we need your help! Please make a generous gift right now to help us raise $25,000 to replace animals in trauma courses and stop the suffering. The horrors described above have long been standard practice in Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) courses around the world, but with the help of caring supporters like you, PETA is ending many of these hideous exercises and preventing countless animals from being mutilated and killed. Through the determination of PETA scientists and researchers, simulation has become the gold standard for training medical professionals in surgical trauma courses in the U.S., Canada, and many other countries. But in some nations—including the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Spain—students are still being required to kill thousands of dogs and other animals simply because the programs don't have the financial resources to switch. Right now, your gift can help us donate the necessary equipment, sparing thousands of animals suffering. By giving before our April 30 deadline, you'll immediately be helping us do more to get animals out of those courses. Helping desperately underfunded training programs around the world adopt state-of-the-art human simulators will keep countless animals from going under the knives of students and improve training to prepare medical professionals for the real-world trauma cases that they'll face. Thanks to a PETA program, 22 countries have now stopping using animals for trauma surgery training—each switched to state-of-the-art simulators donated by PETA. One of the countries that we'll provide with modern simulators for use in ATLS courses is Mexico, where they can prevent more than 2,800 animals from being killed during the next five years alone. Please don't wait—your gift today will bring PETA closer to our $25,000 goal and help us donate the simulators needed to save more animals' lives around the world. Even $5 can help. Very truly yours, Ingrid E. Newkirk President
