| Aaaaaaa— Only hours remain in our "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge, your chance to have your gift matched dollar for dollar, up to our $500,000 goal. That's DOUBLE the impact to help save animals from fates like that endured by Lunes the golden retriever, who spent his entire life—six lonely years—in a laboratory, never knowing what the outside world looked like. But you must give before our midnight deadline—and it's approaching quickly! Animals deserve better than terror and torment. Please, make a gift of $5 or more to the "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge today.

Dear Aaaaaaa, Until earlier this month, Lunes was one of some three dozen lonely, sickly dogs suffering in a laboratory at Texas A&M University (TAMU). He spent his entire life in the TAMU laboratory where he was born, slowly wasting away without proper veterinary care—until he died alone in a barren prison cell. He was only 6 years old. Right now, dogs just like Lunes are desperately waiting for someone to help them before it's too late. Will you help them? The dogs in TAMU's canine muscular dystrophy laboratory are condemned to metal cells, many without even the comfort of a blanket. As their muscles waste away, some will struggle to walk or even stand. Their swollen tongues and weakened jaws make it difficult to swallow even thin gruel. The torture that these dogs are made to endure sounds like something out of the Dark Ages. Experimenters abuse them in crude, excruciating experiments—including stretching their muscles with motorized levers and then cutting chunks out for examination. By supporting the "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge today, you'll be helping to do twice as much to stop their misery. Lunes was treated like disposable laboratory equipment, and no other animal should face such suffering. PETA's high-profile online campaigns and powerful demonstrations are inspiring veterinarians, students, educators, and scientists to join us in opposing cruel experiments, and we're changing the public's perception of all animal tests. This is a campaign that we can win—but only with the determination of you and other caring PETA supporters. Already, our work is turning the tide against TAMU's experiments. Today, the school's colony of miserable dogs is dwindling, and following intense pressure from PETA and hundreds of thousands of our supporters—including physicians, scientists, and human muscular dystrophy patients—TAMU stopped breeding dogs to develop canine muscular dystrophy. But as long as even one gentle, loyal dog (or any animal!) is suffering, we must keep working.
