Dear Myra,
Snatched from her mother as a baby, this elephant will endure a lifetime of pain and suffering. She's beaten with bamboo sticks studded with nails. Starved and deprived of sleep for up to a week at a time. She's tortured like this to crush her spirit and make her submit to carrying people on her back. You can help end this cruelty by giving a 2015 membership gift today.
For the rest of her life, she'll be chained up, deprived of social interaction and forced to entertain tourists for 9 hours a day, 7 days a week. If she refuses to "perform" out of fear or stress, she will be punished into submission.
It's cruelty she'll never forget. And she's not alone. She's one of over 16,000 captive Asian elephants around the world living in misery in tourist rides, zoos and circus shows. Join World Animal Protection and protect animals worldwide.
Like elephants, tigers are stolen from the wild, fed a poor diet, beaten and drugged into submission so that unknowing tourists can get the perfect selfie. Today, more tigers are in captivity than in the wild.By making an urgent 2015 membership donation, you help us continue to urge the public to keep wild animals in the wild, where they belong.

You've signed our petitions, read our e-newsletters, joined us on social media and now we invite you to make a larger impact for animals. By giving a donation, you join a community of more than 50,000 donors who are standing beside us to protect millions of animals.
Did you know that you could give 12 months of protection worldwide for as little as 16¢ a day? Becoming a World Animal Protector with a monthly donation is easy because your monthly amount is automatically charged to your credit card and you can cancel at any time. Also, donating monthly allows your money to go further because it reduces the need for fundraising appeals and helps provides a steady funding source for our life-saving programs. I understand if giving monthly might not be right for you at this time, but if so, please consider protecting animals with a one-time donation.
Sincerely,
Silia Smith
U.S. Interim Executive Director, World Animal Protection
P.S. I am so confident that you want to make a difference for animals and have included your World Animal Protection Membership Card in this email (pictured above). I hope you will carry it with pride, knowing that you are truly moving the world to protect animals.
