Stop Animal Testing
Dear David,
In only a few days, children around the world will be ringing doorbells and looking for Halloween treats. As scary as some of their costumes might be, the true horror this holiday will actually be the M&Ms, Snickers, or Skittles candies that lie in your child’s candy bag. All these candies, along with many other candies sold under household names, are manufactured by Mars Inc., a company responsible for the deaths of numerous animals in unnecessary animal tests.
We need your help to change that this Halloween season. Please support our "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge. Right now, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of generous PETA donors. That means your donation will go twice as far toward making sure that no animal has to suffer through painful, outdated tests for the sake of a chocolate bar.
PETA is hoping to raise $92,533 before the end of the month to reach our goal of $250,000 toward ending animal tests like those conducted on behalf of Mars. Won’t you please support this challenge today?
The experiments funded by Mars, including the following examples, are truly the stuff of Halloween nightmares:
- Rats have been force-fed chocolate chemicals and had needles jabbed directly into their still beating hearts.
- Rabbits have been cut apart to determine the effects of cocoa on muscle tissue.
- Guinea pigs have had cocoa ingredients injected into arteries in their necks to measure the impact on their blood pressure.
And these are only a few of the tests that Mars has funded. Perhaps most disturbingly of all, not one of Mars’ experiments on animals is required by law.
Thanks to PETA’s hard work and pressure, many of the world’s major food corporations—including Mars’ chief rival, Hershey’s, and Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Co—have pledged not to fund or conduct experiments on animals.
But we cannot stop the torture of animals in laboratories without your immediate help. By giving online in this challenge today, your gift will be doubled to help stop Mars and other cruel corporations from conducting unnecessary tests on animals.
You know how crucial our work in behalf of animals in laboratories is, and so do the vivisectors, corporate researchers, and government officials PETA confronts with the hard facts about flawed and useless animal tests. Our success in stopping these tests and saving animals’ lives dates back to PETA’s very first case more than 25 years ago, and with your help during this special online challenge, we can add Mars and many others to that list.
But that success now depends on your caring and generosity. Please help us end the needless suffering of animals in tests for Mars and other companies by making a special online gift towards this challenge!
Thank you for all that you do for animals.
Kind regards,
Ingrid E. Newkirk
President
P.S. We’re only $92,533 from reaching our goal in this special challenge, where your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Please help us be twice as effective for animals in laboratories by donating today!
Stop Animal Testing
Dear David,
In 1981, PETA’s Silver Spring Monkey case heralded our arrival as a powerful new force for animal rights. It also, for the first time in the United States, sent a clear message that animals in laboratories cannot be tortured and killed with impunity.
Today, because of your support, PETA is leading the fight to protect animals from the horrors of animal testing. And through this special online "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge, we can secure twice the resources needed to confront those who still conduct these needless and cruel experiments.
The Silver Spring Monkey investigation, in which we uncovered the horrific abuse of 17 macaque monkeys, resulted in the first arrest and criminal conviction of an animal experimenter in the United States on charges of cruelty to animals. It also led to the first confiscation of abused animals in laboratories and the first U.S. Supreme Court victory for animals in laboratories.
In the years since, with your help, PETA has put a stop to the cruelest experiments imaginable, compelling some of the biggest companies in the world to adopt more humane practices. Our investigation of a huge contract-testing laboratory in Philadelphia and our subsequent campaign led to Benetton’s permanent ban on animal tests—a first for a major cosmetics company. Other leading companies, including Avon, Revlon, and Estée Lauder followed suit.
We compelled General Motors to end its use of animals in cruel crash tests. Our negotiations led Coca-Cola and PepsiCo as well as juice-makers POM, Welch’s, and Ocean Spray to agree to stop performing and funding experiments on animals. As of today, PETA has received more than 700 signed statements from companies promising that they will not test on animals.
If history has proven one thing to corporations and others who still test on animals, it’s that PETA and supporters like you will relentlessly fight for every animal who is trapped in cruel and needless tests. By making an online gift in this special challenge, your donation will go twice as far to help us push more companies to stop experimenting on animals once and for all.
Your support of PETA’s efforts have prevented the torture and deaths of millions of individual cats, dogs, monkeys, pigs, mice, and other animals. But countless more remain at risk of being poisoned, burned, dismembered, and killed by vivisectors, and our job isn’t done until all of them are out of harm’s way.
By donating to PETA today, you will help us double our efforts to stop animal tests. Don’t miss this vital opportunity to have your gift matched, dollar-for-dollar.
Thank you for working with us to make a world in which no animal lives in pain and terror in laboratories.
Kind regards,
Ingrid E. Newkirk
President
P.S. I am counting on you to help us secure desperately needed funds in this special online "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge, which we will use to end the suffering of animals trapped inside cruel laboratories. Please donate online now for your gift to be matched and help us to stop the abuse and prevent the deaths of animals who are trapped in laboratories.

Dear David,
Picture a group of dogs, hamsters, or other animals trapped in cages and given higher and higher doses of toxic chemicals or drugs until they die.
This is called lethal-dose testing. It is so cruel and unreliable that even the companies that perform it want to use other methods.
But because of resistance by the federal government, which blocks more effective testing methods that do not involve animals, they can’t. PETA is aggressively calling on the government to end its use of cruel and outdated animal experiments—and to stop stonewalling more accurate alternatives that don’t cause suffering to animals. And we urgently need your help.
By making a donation to PETA today, your contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar and will help us bring an end to the needless torture that is inflicted upon millions of individual animals who are innocent victims in government-mandated tests.
Through our special online "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge, we’ve already raised $115,611 toward our vital $250,000 goal. But we have a long way yet to go to reach the matching goal set by generous PETA donors. I hope I can count on you to help us get there!
Over a decade ago, because of the initiative and hard work of animal protection groups, Congress created the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) to encourage the development of non-animal tests. It was supposed to be a turning point for animals who were trapped in laboratories. Ten years later, ICCVAM has approved only four non-animal testing methods and has ignored or even rejected many tests that have been government-certified in Europe and widely used there for years.
Even one of the creators of ICCVAM says that the committee is failing to do its job. "One should ask why after years of existence they have reviewed so few tests," said Dr. Neil Wilcox, who also worked for the Food and Drug Administration. "The fundamental reason, in my opinion, is that the ICCVAM process has become recognized as an obstacle to getting tests validated as opposed to helping having tests validated" [emphasis added].
The stonewalling by ICCVAM is only part of the problem. Through its lack of initiative and head-in-the-sand approach to testing issues, the U.S. government’s policies are forcing hundreds of companies to use hopelessly outdated and cruel experiments such as lethal-dose testing, which I mentioned above. The government is needlessly condemning millions of individual rabbits, dogs, mice, guinea pigs, and other animals to die in pain and terror.
Please donate online to PETA today and have your gift doubled to help us push the government to stop turning a blind eye to the misery that it causes to so many helpless animals.
Backed by some of the most credible experts in the field, PETA scientists and researchers are forcing the U.S. government to recognize that advancements in biology and computer modeling have made its reliance on animal testing as wasteful as it is cruel. Our efforts have recently been validated by the government itself. The National Academy of Sciences—the government’s chief scientific advisory body—has released a report calling for an immediate shift to more reliable non-animal tests. And PETA is working hard to compel Congress, scientists, and regulators to make sure that this happens.
By modernizing regulatory testing, the government can stop wasting your tax dollars and—more importantly—save the lives of many scared and vulnerable animals. But we can’t do it without your support.
I urge you to make a generous online gift to PETA today. In this "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge, your donation will do twice as much to protect animals who are suffering in government-mandated tests.
Thank you for coming to the aid of these animals.
Very truly yours,
Ingrid E. Newkirk
President
P.S. I refuse to accept that our taxpayer dollars are used to fund the government’s cruel and pointless experiments on animals. I won’t have these abuses committed in my name. Please join me in working to end this terrible injustice by donating to PETA’s online "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge today.
¡Basta de crueldad con los animales!
Dear David,
You—both as a caring consumer and a PETA supporter—are the single most important person in our efforts to go after companies that continue to experiment needlessly on animals.
From the shampoo or shaving cream we use in the morning to the cologne we apply to go out on the town, our personal care products say a lot about us.
But there’s one thing your makeup or shampoo choices should never say: that you support torturing and killing animals.Of all the ridiculous reasons that people inflict needless suffering on animals, vanity is one of the most pathetic. Despite the availability of effective and cruelty-free product-testing methods, countless individual rabbits, mice, and other animals are still poisoned, blinded, and killed every year in outdated and ineffective tests—all for the personal care products that fill many people’s bathroom cabinets.
You can help end this horrific cruelty by
donating to PETA today for our special "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge. Your gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar!Thanks to all our supporters who’ve stepped up in this special challenge, PETA has raised $64,417 toward our $250,000 goal. Please donate as much as you can today–your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $250,000 and will go towards helping end the terrible experiments done on animals in laboratories.
Your generous gift in this campaign can help strengthen our unique Caring Consumer program. When PETA’s investigations expose companies testing on animals, we tell people to shop elsewhere. And this economic pressure gets corporate attention, often when nothing else will. Major corporations, including Revlon, Mary Kay, Method Home, Estée Lauder, Bath & Body Works, and others, have signed PETA’s pledge against animal testing. In the last year alone, 44 companies have licensed PETA’s cruelty-free bunny logo, which certifies their stand against cruel and unnecessary tests on animals.
Yet some companies, such as L’Oréal, Unilever, and Johnson & Johnson, remain in the "dark ages," performing cruel and crude tests on rabbits, mice, guinea pigs, and other animals. Companies like these drip caustic chemicals into the sensitive eyes of rabbits, blinding them before they kill them, or they pump nail polish down animals’ throats to see how much they can endure before dying in agony.
And for what? Animal tests on most consumer products are not required by the government. These experiments are bad science and do nothing to make products any safer. Even if a cosmetics maker finds that its mascara blinds animals, the company can still legally sell it to you! With the availability of so many effective non-animal testing methods—which are cheaper, faster, and more reliable—conducting animal tests for personal care products is not just unnecessary but also inexcusable.
Please make a generous donation to PETA today to help us end this senseless cruelty during this special matching campaign. Your gift today can do twice as much good for these animals.You—both as a caring consumer and a PETA supporter—are the single most important person in our efforts to go after companies that continue to experiment needlessly on animals.
Thank you for taking action to help end this injustice.
Ingrid E. Newkirk
President
P.S. You can help PETA encourage others to follow your fashionable example and stop corporations that are still conducting unnecessary animals tests by making a generous gift towards this "Stop Animal Testing" Challenge. Your donation today will have double the impact!

CONVERGENCIA SOCIALISTA: SOLIDARIDAD CON EL PUEBLO TIBETANO CONTRA LA DICTADURA DE CHINA
No a la represión al pueblo de Tibet! Solidaridad con el pueblo tibetano contra la dictadura de China!
Reproducimos la declaración de la Unidad Internacional de los Trabajadores-Cuarta Internacional (UIT-CI) editada el 19 de marzo de 2008Desde los primeros días de marzo se está produciendo una rebelión popular en el Tibet, que forma parte de China, contra el gobierno represivo del Partido Comunista que ha enviado tropas y tanques.Se ha prohibido la presencia de periodistas internacionales. Son muchas las versiones sobre esta rebelión; pero la fundamental es que se trataría de una acción religiosa, de monjes budistas.Pero la realidad es que miles se han levantado reclamando por sus derechos democráticos, entre ellos por su derecho a determinar si son independientes, y contra la desigualdad social.La historia del Tibet es la del eterno despojo por parte de los distintos imperios y grandes naciones.El Tibet es hoy una provincia de China con cierto status autónomo, de 6 millones de habitantes, cuya capital es Lhasa.Su idioma es el tibetano y la mayoría es de religión budista. Está ubicado al sudoeste de China y enclavada en Asia Central.En Tibet se encuentra el Everest, la mayor cima del mundo en la frontera con Nepal. Hasta el siglo X el Tibet fue una nación independiente.Desde el siglo XIII, luego de varias guerras, fue dominada por el Imperio Mogol. En el siglo XVIII, el Tibet fue invadido y dominado por el Imperio chino.En 1904, desde la India, invadió el imperio británico y ocupo Lhasa. En 1906, Gran Bretaña y China firman un tratado que especificaba que Tibet pasaba a ser un protectorado británico.En 1907, Gran Bretaña, Rusia y China firman otro tratado que cedía el Tibet al imperio chino. En 1911 cae el imperio en China y se impone una república que sigue controlando Tibet.Pero desde 1914 otra vez vuelve la disputa en China y Gran Bretaña. Esta última se queda con una parte. Finalmente, China con la revolución de 1950 que encabezó Mao, ocupa el Tibet y la integra a la nueva república socialista.Pero los manejos de la burocracia estalinista del PC chino, nunca logró una verdadera integración, respetando sus costumbres, religión, sino que además fomentó una inmigración china para un mayor dominio del Tibet.Y así surgió una nueva opresión del pueblo tibetano que se ha profundizado con el proceso de restauración capitalista en China.Desde 1950 hay conflictos por el reclamo de su pueblo por su libre autodeterminación e independencia, cosa que siempre les negó el gobierno represor del PC de China.Justamente en marzo de1959 se produjo una rebelión aplastada por el ejército chino que era ahora recordada con movilizaciones que desataron la actual represión.La última gran movilización de masas se produjo en marzo de 1989, meses antes de la conocida masacre de la Plaza Tiananmen.Pero todo indica que no solo la rebelión se produce por la cuestión nacional sino que se combinaría con un creciente descontento social por las consecuencias de los cambios capitalistas que también se dan en el Tibet.“La riqueza de los comerciantes chinos es uno de los asuntos más convulsivos en el plano local y sin dudas, no es casualidad que los ataquen los manifestantes. Crece la inflación, las desigualdades y se dificulta el abastecimiento de las familias más modestas” (informe de Danielle Blestrach, en Rebelión.org).Las noticias que han trascendido dicen que habría decenas de manifestantes muertos por la represión.El gobierno chino acusa a los monjes budistas, en especial al lider religioso Dalai Lama. Dicen que este lider, autodesignado como gobierno en el exilio en la India, tendría la intención de “atentar contra los Juegos Olímpicos”.Pero en realidad el Dalai Lama ha declarado que se opone a la rebelión, al punto de amenazar con renunciar como líder del gobierno en el exilio si no cesan las movilizaciones: “La violencia va contra la naturaleza humana, no debemos desarrollar un sentimiento antichino, sino vivir unos al lado de otro”.Y ha confirmado que está contra el boicot a los Juegos Olímpicos. O sea que el Dai Lama se opone a la rebelión popular.Esto no es casual ya que, como agente del imperialismo, acompaña la postura pasiva del imperialismo yanqui y europeo que no quiere ninguna desestabilización social en China donde tiene fuertes inversiones y un acuerdo total con la dictadura del PC de este país para explotar a millones de chinos que trabajan para sus multinacionales.Justamente la rebelión del pueblo tibetano se produjo días después que, insólitamente, el gobierno de los EE.UU sacó a China del grupo de países que, a su entender, son los mayores violadores de los derechos humanos.Pero mantuvo en la lista a Irán, Siria o Rusia. Mientras, el gobierno yanqui festeja los 5 años de la invasión a Irak; avala el asesinato de Reyes de las FARC y la incursión militar de Uribe en Ecuador y está estudiando si Venezuela es “país terrorista”.La Unión Europea(UE) ha declarado que siente “preocupación” por los sucesos del Tibet y el gobierno británico pidió al gobierno de China que actúe “con moderación”. El Vaticano solo reclama contra la “violencia” en la región.O sea las grandes potencias imperialistas se lavan las manos y dejan correr la represión de la dictadura capitalista del PC de China.Por otro lado, los gobiernos de Cuba y de Venezuela, que defienden el supuesto “socialismo de mercado” de China, también guardan silencio o siguen la versión “antibudista” del gobierno chino.Lo mismo hace la izquierda socialdemócrata y reformista del mundo. Todos apoyan a la dictadura china y dejan aislado al pueblo de Tibet en su reclamo por sus libertades y el derecho a su autodeterminación e independencia.Los socialistas revolucionarios, agrupados en la UIT-CI, llamamos a solidarizarnos con el pueblo tibetano en su lucha contra los opresores de la dictadura de China.Estamos por el derecho a la autodeterminación de los pueblos y también lo estamos por la del pueblo tibetano, incluso a su independencia como nación del Tibet, si así lo deciden.No es la dictadura de China ni nadie la que puede resolver por el pueblo tibetano.Rechazamos la pasividad y, de hecho, el apoyo a la represión criminal y genocida del gobierno chino por parte del imperialismo como de la mayor parte de los gobiernos del mundo.Exijamos a los gobiernos de Chávez, de Venezuela, y de Cuba, que cambien de postura y encabecen el repudio a la represión criminal del gobierno de China en el Tibet.La lucha del pueblo tibetano es parte de la lucha de los trabajadores, los campesinos y el pueblo de China por sacarse de encima la dictadura del PC que gobierna explotando, bajo trabajo semiesclavo a millones en beneficio de las multinacionales y el capitalismo mundial. Solidaridad con la lucha del pueblo del Tibet! Por el derecho a su autodeterminación nacional! Abajo la dictadura capitalista del PC de China!
