Fw: SHOCKING: Children forced to stomp on animals

Dear Readers,

PETA Asia has just blown the lid off a horrifying and heartbreaking case in the Philippines that involves cruelty to two of the most vulnerable members of any society—children and animals. You will need a strong stomach to read on, but please know that for the first time in history, something is being done about what you are about to read:

For the last year, PETA's affiliate in Asia has been working to expose and stop those behind a series of pornographic snuff videos in which girls as young as 12 are videotaped torturing and killing animals. These "crush" videos depict the girls stepping, standing, and stomping on animals—from the smallest of mice to large dogs—and are made for a niche market of demented individuals all over the world who derive sexual pleasure from watching animals being abused and slowly killed. Such videos are so heinous that the U.S. enacted a federal law to ban their sale just last year.

The content of the videos associated with this case in the Philippines is beyond sickening. They show scantily clad young girls in high heels crushing puppies, cutting the ears from screaming rabbits who are then set ablaze, driving a sharp stiletto heel repeatedly into a monkey's eyes, and other scenes that are so disturbing that I will spare you the details. The abuse of these animals is prolonged as their limbs are broken and organs crushed until they bleed from the eyes and finally succumb to the agony. But please keep reading.

PETA Asia staff approached and have been working with the Filipino National Bureau of Investigations for more than a year. Finally, after overcoming painstaking hurdles, the police have now charged two people with cruelty to animals, the corruption of minors, and other crimes. The couple has now fled; warrants have been issued for their arrest, and PETA Asia is offering a substantial reward to help locate and bring them to justice.

Although the two fugitives are being pursued by law enforcement and we are working the tips hotline, there is still much more to be done. We need your help to stop similar atrocities, as this isn't the only case, and we need your support for all PETA Asia's wonderful and often lifesaving work for animals. The following are two simple ways that you can help right now:

Contact the Philippine Ambassador to the United States and urge him to do everything in his power to promote the passage of a law banning the sale of these videos in his country.
Make a desperately needed gift today to help PETA Asia's work. The cost of necessary legal work, support for some of the children ensnared in this case, and all PETA Asia's groundbreaking efforts to stop animal abuse throughout Asia is quickly draining this affiliate's budget to pursue cases like this one. PETA will direct 100 percent of your gift to PETA Asia.
It's difficult to imagine something as vile as what PETA Asia has helped to expose in the Philippines, but by taking the two important steps above, you can help us move closer to a day when such sickening cruelty is stopped for good.

Thank you for everything that you do for animals—both in your own neighborhood and around the world.

Kind regards,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
President

P.S. From helping to bring "crush" video abusers to justice to being among the first animal protection groups on the ground following the devastating March earthquakes in Japan, PETA Asia is on the front lines of the fight for animal rights across Asia.

Dear Cindy, Genie's summer—and even her whole life—has improved greatly thanks to the compassion of one person who refused to turn a blind eye to this sweet dog's miserable existence. While delivering mail in rural North Carolina, a postal worker spotted a gentle dog, Genie, who was confined to a debris-strewn backyard. Her life was limited to the world within reach of her chain. Her only protection from intense summer heat and winter's frigid cold was a battered plastic pet carrier in the corner of the yard. The sight of Genie on the postal worker's daily route weighed heavily on her, and she decided to do something about it. That's when the postal worker reached out to PETA. Within days, Genie's carrier was replaced with a sturdy new PETA doghouse with a roof that provides her with shade and will protect her from next winter's worst weather. Will you help more animals like Genie by sponsoring a PETA doghouse for a neglected "backyard dog" right now? PETA's Cruelty Investigations Department (CID) is on the front lines in the fight to help neglected and abused dogs nationwide. In the impoverished areas near PETA's headquarters, PETA fieldworkers deliver sturdy, long-lasting doghouses to animals like Genie who may have never known shelter from nature's worst. PETA's fieldworkers help in other ways, too, including providing toys, clean water containers, new collars, and lightweight, tangle-free tie-outs when dogs are burdened with a heavy chain. In addition, they treat animals for fleas, ticks, and ear mites that interrupt their sleep and make their lives very uncomfortable and arrange veterinary appointments for animals who need to be spayed or neutered. While we always want dogs like Genie to live indoors with their families, when those families can't be convinced to see their dog as anything more than a burglar alarm and if conditions do not violate the meager provisions of local laws, our fieldworkers do everything that they can to change that dog's life for the better and educate guardians on proper, humane care. The dogs are so glad to have our eyes and ears: For example, we removed a chain that weighed 38.2 pounds from around one dog's neck! He could barely lift his neck at all. The cost of providing a doghouse, making visits, and providing care to an outside dog is $265. However, we know that these challenging economic times may make it difficult for some to help dogs in need. That's why we now offer a way for people to become an "Angels for Animals" doghouse sponsor today via a few easy monthly installments. For as little as $44 per month, you can fund a new doghouse for a dog in desperate need of shelter. And setting up your payment couldn't be easier using PETA's secure, online system. Just choose the amount that you want to give and the number of months, and we'll bill your credit card at the same time each month. Your scheduled payments will continue automatically until your "Angels for Animals" sponsorship is completed, and you can cancel at any time. Genie was one of the lucky ones. Last year, we delivered more than 300 doghouses, but the need to provide dogs with shelter from the elements is so great that we anticipate delivering even more before the year is out. Won't you help us reach these animals? If you can find it in your heart to become an "Angels for Animals" doghouse sponsor today, you will change the life of a dog forced to live outdoors. By making a small monthly commitment right now, you can help a dog survive both the hottest days of the summer and the most bone-chilling of winter nights. I hope that you'll seriously consider becoming an "Angel for Animals" doghouse sponsor today. The monthly installment option makes it easily and affordable. Thank you for helping a neglected dog this summer in such a life-changing way. Kind regards, Ingrid E. Newkirk President P.S. The postal worker who first spotted Genie took action when she saw how little protection from the elements Genie had. Won't you stand up for a dog like Genie who may be suffering in the summer heat right now? Please become an "Angels for Animals" doghouse sponsor and change a dog's life today.

Who would save Petey from the gun pointed at his head?

Trouble with links or images? View this message online.

Dear Friend, Petey's owner pointed a rifle at Petey's head and was ready to pull the trigger.  In a matter of seconds, Petey-the-dog would be dead... ... if not for a pint-sized hero.  The owner's 8 year-old son saw what his Dad was about to do and ran in between the shot and Petey - his Dad's bullet piercing his leg instead of Petey's head.  This little boy took a bullet for his best friend. I shouldn't be surprised at how cruel humans can be to innocent animals.  But I still am.  And I shouldn't be surprised at how far humans will go to save their four-legged best friends.  But this 8 year-old boy has me in awe. And it's in honor of this young hero and the dog he loves so much that I ask you to donate to our mission right now - that I ask YOU to be a hero for an innocent dog or cat. Let me tell you the rest of Petey's story. Thank God, the son has recovered and also, thank God, the local animal shelter took Petey from this unspeakably cruel owner. Petey was taken-in by Animal House Rescue in Fort Collins. Rescue groups like this are filled with people whose life's passion is saving abandoned, abused animals. They are heroes.  Look at what they've done for Petey: As you'd expect, Petey was terrified of everyone when he arrived at Animal House. He hid under his bed in fear.  Now Petey has spent weeks in "therapy" with specially trained Animal House volunteers.  But Petey desperately needs more help.  He needs more time at Animal House with his behavioral trainers until he finds his forever home. These shelters save the lives of innocent animals. And you do, too, when you give to support them through SPCA International.  Please honor that little boy's act of love and courage. Please make sure Petey continues to get the love and care he deserves.  Please be a hero and give as generously as you can today. Sincerely, JD Winston Executive Director SPCA International P.S. The only reason Petey isn't dead today is because a little boy took a bullet for him.  Will you, in honor of this young hero, make a donation so that we can continue to support groups who are working to keep cats and dogs like Petey alive? If you are interested in adopting Petey please contact us at answers@spcai.org.  If you wish to be removed from our mailing list, please click here. Copyright © 2011 SPCA International.
