“Instead of hurting animals, cruelty-free health charities
are helping people by funding programs that focus on direct
care, clinical studies, community education, and prevention.
They truly deserve our support.”
—Judi Dench

Order PETA’s “Guide to Cruelty-Free Charities,” because your donation should help end suffering—not cause it
When you donate to a charity, do you know where the money actually goes? Could your gift be contributing to animal suffering?
Some charities—such as the March of Dimes — have spent donations to bankroll horrific experiments on cats, rabbits, rats, mice, primates, hamsters, ferrets, and other animals. March of Dimes-funded experimenters have sewn shut the eyes of newborn kittens; strapped social, intelligent primates into restraining devices for days at a time; cut open the skulls of ferrets to induce brain damage; even administered cocaine, alcohol, and nicotine to pregnant animals, despite the fact that we’ve known for decades that all of these substances are harmful to developing babies!

“When my mother was diagnosed with cancer, I did some homework and could not believe these wasteful and cruel experiments were still being conducted. … If we have a prayer of beating disease, we must stop animal experimenters from siphoning funds from more productive prevention programs and high-tech research.” —Linda Blair |
While human health and relief needs cry out for attention and so many people are suffering, animal experimentation drains money from relevant and effective projects that could help save lives—today!

“I’m totally against experiments on animals.” — Paul McCartney |
Luckily, a growing list of forward-thinking charities—most recently joined by the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade—refuse to fund animal tests of any kind, seeing them as a poor use of limited resources.

"Make sure the check you write to a charity doesn’t pay for cruel, pointless experiments on animals. Your donation should help end suffering—not cause it.” —Richard Pryor
