Disturbing abuse: an easy way to help...

By Alex Pacheco | Project Leader

Brownie, one of our rescued Pilot Pups!

CAUTION: DISTURBING ANIMAL CRUELTY.

Urgent Action Needed

ENTIRE FAMILIES OF STREET DOGS BEING SHOT TO DEATH

IN ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.

Please help by signing our petition!

Brownie, pictured here, is lucky -- she's one of our Pilot Pups, rescued from the streets. But dogs in the small island nation of Bahrain are in crisis.

Jinny, an elderly Golden Retriever, was shot to death in her own neighborhood.

Her guardian then found video footage of the killing (from a security camera) and cried as she described the horror of watching her elderly canine companion struggle in vain to run away in terror, from her killers.

Residents report that Jinny was then thrown into a trash compactor and crushed ... and that sickeningly, she was not alone.

It is reported that in this one incident alone, up to 25 helpless dogs were crushed … some still alive.

Veterinary medical reports and hundreds of horrifying photos -- too horrific to show here -- are readily available, many on Instagram, including photos of half-buried bodies of dead pups scattered on the ground, with eyewitness reports of mother dogs being shot while nursing their puppies.

Witnesses report that this horrific abuse is happening now, in the Kingdom of Bahrain, an oil-rich country in the Middle East, near Saudi Arabia.

Local activists have tried to stop this but fear for their lives, and for good reason. According to Amnesty International and Wikipedia:

"Amnesty International's 2015 report on the country points to the continued suppression of dissent, restricted freedom of expression, unjust imprisonment, and frequent torture and other ill-treatment of its citizens." - Wikipedia

Despite the danger, a few brave individuals have filed complaints with the police, but they also report that authorities thus far have done virtually nothing to stop the abuse.

Please help by signing this petition to Bahrain's Ambassador to the USA, and please share.

Thank you.

You're part of a revolution!

By Alex Pacheco | Founder, 600 Million Dogs

Your life-saving gift will be matched up to $35,000!

30 new rescued Pilot Pups and 5 new scientists!

Dear Friend of 600,

Here's wishing you a great holiday, and I'd like to quickly introduce 30 of our newest rescued Pilot Pups: Bruni, Lucky, Chase and 27 more below!

Thanks to you, we have also recently recruited a record-breaking 5 more scientists who have joined us in our life-saving mission:

To end the global overpopulation of dogs and cats
and the suffering it causes
by developing the One-Dose Spay and Neuter Cookie!

But first, allow me to introduce Chase, one of our Pilot Pups.

She was rescued from a group of teenagers who were throwing rocks at her. 600 team member Rahul rescued her and reported:

"Poor Chase, she was trying desperately to escape from being hit by rocks -- it was a terrible thing to see -- and it was my honor to stop the abuse and save her -- it was an experience I will never forget."

Chase will never suffer on the cruel streets again -- and more importantly, with your help, we will prevent the suffering of millions more!

In about 3 months, we expect to have a very significant amount of new scientific data from our current studies -- data from different versions of the one-dose Cookie that we're working hard to develop -- thanks to you!

One of our new scientists, Dr. Cabriles, has witnessed the devastating problems of overpopulation. Dr. Cabriles writes:

"Sadly, in my more than 23 years as a practicing veterinarian, spay and neuter surgery campaigns have only put a slight dent in the global overpopulation of cats and dogs."

The good news … Dr. Cabriles knows a solution is in sight:

"The development of the One-Dose Spay and Neuter Cookie provides an exciting and highly feasible solution to dog and cat overpopulation, throughout the world.

It addresses the plight of billions of homeless dogs and cats.

It is also being designed to prevent the deaths of thousands of children who die from canine rabies -- after being infected by stray dogs who are suffering from rabies."

The One-Dose Spay and Neuter Cookie is desperately needed because …

The horrific
Cycle of Suffering
continues worldwide
with over one billion homeless puppies
still being born every year.

Many innocent dogs continue to be poisoned to death.
Others are beaten to death. Others are crushed to death in garbage compactors.
Others are fed broken glass -- mixed in food, to die a painful death.

This is why we need your help.

This is why the One-Dose Spay and Neuter Cookie is desperately needed.

Billion-dollar drug companies, shamefully, have turned their backs on these animals.

The drug companies should be doing this work, but instead, they are doing nothing.

This is why it is up to us.
There is too much at stake.
Yes, we are a small grassroots charity -- but if not us, then who?

The good news: your vital support is bringing us closer and closer to a permanent solution, to prevent the suffering of over a billion animal lives.

Because your support is so crucial, our dedicated volunteer Catherine Hill has pledged to MATCH your donation up to $35,000!

Yes, you can make your dollars count and count twice!

To help, please go to the "Give now" button below!

Dr. Christi, another one of our new scientists, writes:

"As a veterinarian and animal health expert, I urge you to support this work and become the helping hand, to alleviate this devastating cause of animal suffering.”

Last but not least … introducing more of our recently rescued 30 Pilot Pups!
Autumn, Ali, Ada, Avery, Axil, Blaze, Bo, Lola, Oreo, Sophie, Violet, Bella, Boomer, Mrs. Cookie, Max, Juno, Chloe, Crystal, Ollie, Daisy, Maple, Gracie, Stacy, Bailey, Lucy, Trixie, and Rose -- all pictured on our website here!

On behalf of our animal friends, I can never thank you enough for your help.

Please know that your help is very much needed, and deeply appreciated ...

... and for the sake of the animals, please stay safe!

Most Sincerely,

Alex Pacheco

Rescued! Meet our new Pilot Pups!

By Alex Pacheco | President, 600 Million Stray Dogs Need You

Rescued Pilot Pup Ali, relaxing.

I hope you had a great summer, and I hope you have a moment for a quick update on our crucial work to save animals.

Today's update includes information on a grassroots study that is in progress this month.

As you know, our mission is to end the Cycle of Suffering for the world’s 600 million homeless dogs and cats -- by developing the One-Dose Spay and Neuter Cookie --

a cookie that our scientists are designing to spay or neuter in just one dose -- without surgery!

As you also know, when we rescue strays, in addition to caring for them, we also feed them a single trial Cookie -- and after eating a trial Cookie, they officially become known as Pilot Pups.

At the moment, we have approximately 30 Pilot Pups -- 30 homeless strays who we have very recently rescued and fed a trial Cookie.

They have now all been surgically spayed, so that we can examine their treated ovaries microscopically, to determine the effectiveness of the specific trial cookie that each of them has eaten.

The next stage: sending their treated ovaries to a histologist for processing.

The histologist will process the tissues, prepare microscope slides, and create digital photos of the slides.

We will then arrange for pathologists, mostly veterinary pathologists, to examine the digital slides.

This examination is a highly complex process -- it is so complex that we will often have slides examined by more than one pathologist, which allows us to compare the findings.

After examining the slides of treated tissues, the pathologists will then prepare a report that quantifies their findings.

These reports will allow us to evaluate how well a particular trial Cookie worked.

Different trial cookies have different amounts of different ingredients in them, and they also have different fillers. A filler, for example, is an additional ingredient that we use to mix with the active ingredient, such as peanut butter -- a favorite.

Another example: one of the fillers we are working with is the papaya seed, which in itself is known to also work as a contraceptive.

We are also including different taste-masking ingredients, to help mask the taste of some of the ingredients, which can taste bitter.

As we have reported in the past, we are also saving up to allow us to continue these studies here in the U.S.

The cost to carry out this work in the U.S. in full will be approximately $3 million per year, for 3 years, in order to meet the FDA's regulatory requirements. This is the cost to perform the needed studies in the traditional way -- the way drug companies would do it -- if they cared.

Tragically, the drug companies have abandoned this.

This is why it is up to you and me.

It is up to us.

Together we can do this.

Together we WILL do this!

All of our work to end the Cycle of Suffering depends entirely on the continued support from caring individuals like YOU!

If you’re outraged like I am, at the needless killing that continues every day …

please help support this crucial nonprofit work.

THANK YOU for saving these animals!

Sincerely,

Alex
