<P><B>Pregnant mares are beaten, then forced into restraints to give
massive amounts of blood every single week for 12 weeks in a
row.</B> Horses often collapse from exhaustion – and once they’re
too injured or malnourished to continue, they’re left to die.</P>
<P>Why? So their blood can be processed to create a hormone called
PMSG, which is then injected into pigs to force quick pregnancies of
unnaturally large litters.</P>
<P><B>Iceland is the only country in Europe that still allows this
brutal, inhumane practice…and together we’re going to change
that.</B> Right now, the government is considering FINALLY banning
horse blood farms, but the pharmaceutical industry is in an all out
sprint to protect their profits.</P>
<P>This is the moment our community was made for. Over 48,000 of us
have already taken action, but that’s just the beginning. Next we
could <B>launch a massive lobbying push to give decision-makers no
choice but to act</B>, raising the temperature with powerful tactics
like polling and targeted ads – then keep going to protect nature
from corporate exploitation everywhere.</P>
<P>We’re quickly raising the funds to make it happen – <B>are you
in?</B></P>

<P>There are more than one hundred of these unbearably cruel horse
blood farms across Iceland.</P>
<P>A few years ago, the Icelandic government ADMITTED that this
cruel practice is in violation of EU animal welfare laws, and began
taking initial steps to close a loophole allowing it to happen.
<B>But then a massive pharmaceutical company profiting from this
torture got to work.</B></P>
<P>Eventually, the government caved and thousands more pregnant
mares were forced into a lifetime of cruelty.</P>
<P>Now the government is considering a ban once again. But <B>Big
Pharma’s lobbyists are back too, and this time, we are NOT going to
let them win.</B></P>
<P>Here’s the thing: elections just ended in Iceland, giving us the
perfect opportunity to overwhelm the new government with a massive
global call to ban horse blood farms. If we can quickly raise enough
we could:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Launch a massive lobbying push to convince MPs to get behind a
ban;
<LI>Conduct polling to show that these horse torture farms will
impact tourism;
<LI>Put up ads in Iceland’s airport terminals and ferry ports
exposing this cruel practice;
<LI>Run digital ads targeting likely tourists, and then re-target
those ads to strategic MPs so they see what tourists will be
seeing. </LI></UL>
<P>The Icelandic government is already under increasing pressure –
and together we can be the tipping point to win a ban. <B>Can you
chip in to end cruel horse blood farms – and keep fighting for
animals and nature everywhere?</B></P>

fight before – and won. We pressured two major German pharmaceutical
