Friend,
Right now, I’m in the Philippines, deep in the heart of a dog meat trade that’s supposed to be dying out. But it isn’t. Not yet.
Every week, I see dogs tied up in rice sacks. Some are still wearing collars. Some don’t even make it to slaughter—they die from heat, fear, or wounds before they arrive.
The trade is illegal. It's brutal. And despite what they say, it's still here. But we’re closer than we’ve ever been to shutting it down for good.
I have evidence. Locations. Names. We’re planning a raid on several traders and preparing to rescue more dogs. The team is ready. I’m ready. But we’ve hit a wall.
Donations are down nearly 50% and without a boost, we’re going to be forced to cut back on our investigations.
That’s something I can’t accept. Not when we’re this close.
Can you rush an urgent gift today to help us shut this trade down, Friend?
I’m risking everything to be here. But I can’t finish this without you.
For them,

P.S. Our funding is down by nearly 50% and dogs are dying right now because of it. Without an urgent boost, we can’t keep up the investigations. We can’t do the raids. We can’t save the next dog. We need every single person reading this email to step up. Please give what you can, right now.
