A MALDADE COM OS CAMELOS

 

Match My Gift

Dear, Nabil is broken from a lifetime of abuse. His heart races as he hears the other camels in the frenzied market bellowing in pain as traders beat them with sticks to force them onto trucks, many bound for the slaughterhouse. They beat Nabil too, but they don’t stop there. Soon, they tie his leg to the back of a truck and start the engine—dragging the terrified camel down the street. He screams the whole time, desperate for someone to help him.

Cid Marcos, will you help animals like Nabil by making a generous gift of just $2 or more right now? Your gift will be matched to go 10 TIMES as far, so that every $1 becomes $10, up to our crucial $250,000 goal.

PETA is urgently pressuring the Egyptian government to stop the abuse of camels and horses in the country’s tourism industry. These tormented animals are forced to give rides or pose for photos in the sweltering sun until their bodies break down—and they need your protection. During a visit to the same market where traders tortured Nabil, PETA Asia investigators found camels bleeding from open wounds, hobbling on the ground because traders had bound their legs with rope, and screaming as traders struck them, including in the face and testicles.

You can help end such cruelty by making a gift to help camels, horses, and other abused animals today—while your gift will be matched to do 10 times as much good.

Match My Gift For 10 Times the Impact

Animals sold into the tourism industry are forced to work, often to the point of collapse. Investigators discovered a secret dumpsite for dead and dying animals just behind the pyramids. During one visit, they found a horse who was still alive but in agony. Nearby, starving horses with protruding ribs searched for meager scraps of food. When they’re too sick, weak, or injured to pose with tourists, camels are often sent to slaughter for their flesh. PETA Asia undercover investigators saw workers cut camels’ throats as they screamed. One animal writhed on the ground, bleeding out, for at least four minutes before a worker started hacking at his neck with a machete.

Please, don’t turn away from their suffering. Your gift today will be multiplied by 10, doing that much more to help save animals from such horrors.

Earlier this year, intense pressure from PETA and thousands of our supporters led Egyptian authorities to launch a program to provide veterinary care to animals used for tourism. This is a step in the right direction, but it’s not enough, as the only way to stop the abuse is to ban the use of animals. We must use this momentum to ensure that Egypt makes meaningful changes for animals—and we need you with us.

As that truck dragged Nabil through the dirt, the traders and tourists at the market heard his anguished screams—but none of them intervened. If you would intervene to help an abused camel like him, please make your gift of $2 or more right now—while it will be matched for 10 times the impact. Together, we can protect camels and other animals from suffering as Nabil did.

Kind regards, Ingrid Newkirk President

We’ve set a deadline of December 31 to raise $250,000 for animals. Gifts made after that date or after our goal has been met will not be matched, but they’ll still make a tremendous difference to our work for all animals
