<\/strong><\/strong>I hope the holidays brought you and your loved ones much happiness
\nand love\u2014for this is what your compassion and generosity have brought to
\nthousands of animals. As we begin a new year, I’m asking you to please renew your commitment to IDA<\/a> for 2011.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>\"IDAIn
\nthe jungles of Cameroon, Africa, our Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue
\nCenter provides a safe and peaceful home in natural habitat forest for
\n69 chimpanzees.<\/strong> The residents of Sanaga-Yong range in age from
\nless than one to over 40 years. All but one were orphaned as infants
\nwhen poachers killed their mothers. IDA-Africa is waging a public
\neducation campaign to stop the killing and orphaning of chimpanzees. <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>In Mumbai, IDA-India <\/strong>campaigns for improvements to
\nanimal protection laws, rescues and cares for abused and injured
\nanimals, promotes vegetarianism, runs spay\/neuter programs and equine
\nwelfare camps, and fights to stop the use of animals in laboratories for
\nexperimentation.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>And in the American South\u2014in one of the poorest regions of
\nMississippi\u2014IDA\u2019s Hope Animal Sanctuary rescues and heals so many
\nanimals that we\u2019ve lost count. <\/strong>Just last week we confiscated
\nstarving dogs who are already healing. Abandoned, neglected and abused
\ndogs, cats, horses, emus, and more – beginning life anew.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>Animal suffering and abuse don’t disappear during bad economic times\u2014in fact, they increase. <\/strong>In this economy, things are even worse for animals. That\u2019s why I am asking you to continue your support of IDA in 2011.<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>We have always refused to compromise our principles by accepting
\nfunding from corporate giants that help to institutionalize animal abuse
\nand exploitation. And last year, nearly 85 percent of every donation we received went directly to programs and rescues. <\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>Please make the most generous donation you can.<\/a>
\nHelp us rescue animals from abuse and cruelty. Continue to stand with
\nIDA and for the animals. Help us to start the new year strong.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>Let me share with you some of our plans for the upcoming months:<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>Captive Elephant Campaign: In 2011, we will work to bring more captive elephants like Lucky and Queenie to sanctuaries,<\/strong>
\nso they will be able to wander and enjoy an area both beautiful and
\nprotected. We will continue our efforts to free elephants like Nosey
\nfrom circuses. She is living in misery as a result of well-documented
\nmistreatment in the Liebel Family Circus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>Anti-vivisection Campaign: <\/strong>Since
\nthe founding of IDA over 28 years ago, anti-vivisection has been one of
\nour core initiatives. We continue our fight to protect animals from
\nbeing infected, crippled, poisoned, blinded, and maimed. IDA\u2019s
\ngroundbreaking Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit victories
\nagainst the NIH and the USDA revealed evidence of institutional animal
\nabuse and USDA\u2019s cozy relationship with industry.<\/strong> We will
\nuse the documents obtained to enlighten the public and our elected
\nrepresentatives about the negligence and cruelty that is pervasive in
\nour nation\u2019s labs, and our government\u2019s attempts to cover them up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>

\n

<\/strong><\/strong>Anti-fur Campaign:<\/strong> IDA has long been one of the leaders of the anti-fur movement.\u00a0 \"fur<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong>Recently <\/span><\/strong><\/strong>we co-sponsored the largest ever Fur Free Friday day of activism. Anti-fur protests took place in over 100 cities.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>And in 2011 we\u2019ll surge ahead with our Guardian Campaign to change
\nhow society perceives animals; fight the South Korean dog and cat meat
\ntrade; work to end the Japanese slaughter of dolphins; protect America\u2019s
\nwild horses (in fact, this week<\/em><\/strong> IDA’s
\nattorneys are in court, continuing our challenge against the BLM\u2019s
\nhorrifying roundups of the last remaining wild horses); and promote
\nplant-based diets to reduce animal cruelty and reduce human-caused
\nclimate change.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>Today, in this horrible economy, your support is more important than ever\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>You see the effects of this economy all around you every day. What
\nyou may not see is the profound impact economic uncertainty is having on
\norganizations like IDA.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>Thanks to your past giving\u2014your investment<\/em> in a better
\nworld\u2014we are blazing a compassionate trail in a world that is often
\nheartless and intolerably cruel to the most vulnerable among us.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
