Dear Friend,

In a crowded store parking lot, a dog is left in a car "for just a few minutes."

The temperature rapidly climbs to well over 100 degrees inside the vehicle, and
the animal frantically claws at the doors and windows, trying to escape, hoping
that someone—anyone—can stop their misery before they literally bake to death .

This year, 30 dogs and cats have already died from this preventable tragedy—and
those are only the cases that have been reported. It's estimated that HUNDREDS of
animals will die in hot vehicles before the year ends. We need your help today to
prevent more animals from ever suffering through this living hell.

Please, donate right now and boost our work for dogs and other animals. Even $5
helps.

On a 90-degree day, the temperature inside a hot car can soar to 109 degrees in
less than 10 minutes. Dogs, who can cool themselves only by panting, will rapidly
succumb to heatstroke inside a vehicle, even if it's parked in the shade.

That's why we need your help to fund PETA's work to inform everyone about the
danger of leaving dogs and other animals in hot cars. Protecting them from the
scorching heat of summer is about more than community outreach— it's a matter of
life and death.

Your contribution to PETA today will help us do even more for animals at risk.

For weeks now, we've been telling you how PETA's Community Animal Project is
helping "backyard dogs" survive the scorching-hot summer days by providing them
with sturdy doghouses. This vital program has given thousands of neglected dogs
relief, but it's not the only way PETA is working to ensure that dogs don't
become victims of the deadly summer heat.

Our videos and advertisements featuring Simon Cowell, Tyrann Mathieu, and other
celebrities warning about the dangers of leaving animals in hot cars along with
our "Too Hot for Spot" billboards and advertisements in major magazines are
being seen by millions. The awareness that we've raised has helped persuade some
of the country's largest commercial real estate companies and retailers to
display warning signs in parking lots and on store entrances to remind drivers
about the deadly dangers of hot vehicles.

Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal highlighted one of our latest
initiatives in a story on PETA's current work with child-safety advocates to
support new federal legislation that would require automakers to install devices
that can detect if an animal or child has been left in a car. This legislation
could save the lives of animals and children.

Your gift—just $5, or whatever you can afford—will keep this and all our other
vital work for companion animals going strong.

Please don't wait. It can take just minutes for a dog trapped in a hot car to
experience an agonizing death from heatstroke, but by taking a few moments right
now, you can help us prevent hundreds of animals from enduring this tragedy.
Thank you.

Kind regards,

Daphna Nachminovitch
Senior Vice President of Cruelty Investigations
PETA

P.S. If you see a dog left alone inside a hot car, don't wait ! Call local humane
officials or the police immediately. If the authorities are unresponsive or too
slow and the dog's life appears to be in imminent danger, find a witness and
remove the suffering animal from the vehicle while you wait for authorities to
arrive. To help you prepare for these life and death emergencies, we're offering
a special window-breaking hammer when you make a gift of $100 or more through
this e-mail.
