We did it! Thanks to the generous support of thousands of caring PETA donors, we reached our Rs 10 lakhs campaign goal for "Cut It Out" – PETA's Animal Test Challenge. All donations have been matched by a dedicated PETA supporter, so we now have Rs 20 lakhs to benefit our work to help end deadly and painful experiments on animals, promote the development and adoption of innovative new non-animal test methods, and win significant victories that will keep animals out of laboratory cages.

Here's a great example of what can be accomplished for animals when compassionate people work together. After a tremendous outcry from kind people around the world, a hideous blood farm in Texas, United States, that was recently exposed by PETA US is closing and transferring the scores of greyhounds it holds captive into adoption programmes. At last, these long-abused dogs can get the care that they deserve as well as the opportunity to play, sleep soundly on a sofa, and go for walks.

Many of the dogs at that facility had been "retired" from the racing industry only to face a new kind of misery. Treated as little more than living blood bags, they were denied even basic veterinary care, despite suffering from serious dental conditions, ghastly infections, and open wounds. Despondent and lonely, they were often seen spinning in circles – a sign of severe distress – or hiding in the old chemical tanks that served as their only shelter.

PETA US campaigned determinedly to demand a better life for these greyhounds, including by staging demonstrations, setting up mobile billboards, and enlisting the support of Paul McCartney, who spoke out publicly against the horrors at the blood farm.

While the nightmare may now be over for these greyhounds, dogs aren't the only ones exploited for their blood. In India, workers at poorly regulated facilities routinely harvest huge volumes of blood from horses, donkeys, and mules to produce antitoxins and antivenins. A series of inspections by veterinarians and other experts – including from PETA – have revealed that many of these animals suffer from anaemia, untreated wounds, diseased hooves, malnourishment, and other painful and debilitating conditions.

Before we exposed this abuse, few knew that horses, donkeys, and mules were kept in such deplorable conditions for this purpose. PETA is working hard to shut down the facilities and give the animals there the relief that those greyhounds in Texas are set to enjoy.
