Dear Cindy,

I'm thrilled to share some exciting news with you. After a long and hard-fought battle by PETA, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and concerned local citizens, Ben the Bear has been rescued from abhorrent conditions at a North Carolina roadside zoo and will now live out his life at Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), a beautiful accredited wildlife sanctuary in northern California.

Ben the Bear

Now, Ben is thriving, enjoying acres of rolling hills, rubbing his back on trees, bathing and splashing in his pool, and napping in soft beds of natural foliage. Click here to learn more about Ben's journey from a roadside hellhole to a wildlife sanctuary.

Although PETA was able to rescue Ben, our work to save the other suffering animals who still languish in appalling conditions at Jambbas is not over. Click here to send an e-mail urging officials to revoke its license. Let's finally see this cruelty end for good. Thank you for your compassion!

Sincerely,



Delcianna Winders
Director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement
PETA Foundation

P.S. You can help PETA save more animals like Ben from abuse and neglect by becoming a member of PETA's Investigations & Rescue Fund today.

Help Stop the Sadistic 'Fire Bull' Festival in Soria

On the weekend of 15 November, a sadistic festival called "Toro Júbilo" will take place in Soria, Spain. During this festival, balls of pitch are attached to a bull's horns and set on fire.

The bull is then released out into the streets and can do nothing but run around in pain, often smashing into walls in an attempt to douse the fire. The agony he must suffer is unimaginable. These fiery balls can burn for hours, and they burn the bull's horns, body and eyes and cause tremendous stress – all while spectators cheer and run around the victim.

Please join me in sending an e-mail to Spanish officials urging them to put a stop to this vile so-called "festival" now.

PETA Donor Report: Animals freed from chains, neglect, and abuse

Dear Cindy,
I hope you are having an enjoyable summer.
This season, PETA staffers have been working hard to help dogs, cats, and other companion animals. I'd like to mention just a few of the many accomplishments that this dedicated team has made in recent weeks, thanks in part to your generous support.
Since April, the staff of PETA's mobile clinics division has performed more than 2,000 low-cost to no-cost spay and neuter surgeries—as well as administered vital care to dogs, cats, and rabbits who belong to indigent families—preventing many thousands of puppies and kittens from becoming part of the animal overpopulation and homelessness crisis.
In June alone, the team sterilized more than 600 animals, including Booboo, pictured here, whose guardian contacted PETA for help with flea prevention and getting the matting out of her coat. He planned to breed this little dog and sell the pups, but when PETA offered to groom her for free, he accepted our offer to spay her at the same time. The mobile clinics team also made a special effort to thank the many service members at the bases near PETA's Norfolk, Virginia, headquarters by offering to spay or neuter or vaccinate their four-legged companions for just $4 in celebration of Independence Day.
The last few weeks have also seen some terrific news in our efforts to help chained dogs. It makes me sick to know that millions of dogs live their entire lives—24 hours a day—on a chain. PETA fieldworkers see many of these lonely animals confined to barren patches of dirt, covered with summer flies who eat the skin from their ears, all alone without any of the love and attention that every dog deserves. One city where PETA's Community Animal Project (CAP) staff has responded to countless calls about chained dogs is Hampton, Virginia.
Our team has met many dogs in that city for whom life on a chain turned deadly. One such animal was Smokey, a black pit bull who was left outdoors during the rising floodwaters and torrential rains of Hurricane Irene and who died in the storm. C
