I recieved this email from PETA....

Dear Sarah,

A truck crammed with donkeys pulls up outside a dingy building in Kenya. The exhausted, dehydrated animals tremble with fear as men brandishing blunt sticks fling open the back of the vehicle.

Give donkeys and other animals a chance at the life that they deserve.

As the donkeys step down, the men begin to beat them, forcing them toward the slaughterhouse where they'll be violently killed—their skin stripped away from their corpses and boiled down to make ejiao, a traditional Chinese medicine. PETA is determined to prevent donkeys—and other animals—from ever facing such horror, and today, we need your help.

Will you give an immediate boost to our vital work to stop the trade in ejiao and other vile products? Even $5 will make a difference!

Since PETA first blew the lid off the Chinese ejiao industry, we've been working hard to stop the suffering that it causes.

After viewing our footage of donkeys being bashed in the head with sledgehammers, eviscerated, and skinned, consumers around the world are rejecting donkey gelatin—and after hearing from PETA, major U.S.-based retailers like Walmart, Jet.com, eBay, and VitaminLife are banning products containing it. China's largest ejiao producer has experienced a precipitous decline in revenue after intense campaigning by PETA and our international affiliates, and we won't let up until the killing ends.

We need your help—even just $5—right now to stop the suffering of donkeys and other animals.

At Kenya's government-sanctioned slaughterhouses—some of which opened solely to supply the ejiao trade—PETA Asia eyewitnesses saw workers mercilessly beat frightened donkeys, leave injured animals to languish without care, and dump the bodies of dead donkeys outside to rot. Some of the animals had been shipped to Kenyan slaughterhouses from countries where slaughtering them is illegal.

With your gift today, we can keep doing more to reduce the demand for donkeys' skin and other products of cruelty.

PETA's powerful, eye-opening exposés, demonstrations, and campaigns are inspiring thousands of people to embrace a compassionate vegan lifestyle that excludes all animals' body parts.

With help from thousands of our supporters, we're calling on the Kenyan government to ban donkey slaughter immediately and urging the Chinese ambassador to the U.S. to stop the cruel treatment of donkeys for ejiao.
