Dear Jennifer,

We have some exciting news to share with you! After more than 40,000 PETA supporters, including you, wrote to NBC about the use of Crystal the monkey and other wild animals on Animal Practice, the network has canceled the series.

PETA wrote to NBC prior to the show's airing pointing out that wild animals used for TV and film typically undergo physical abuse during pre-production training sessions and are subjected to unnatural and unhealthy living conditions. In addition to our action alert, PETA's efforts included weekly protests outside NBC headquarters in Los Angeles and New York and letters to the show's advertisers asking them to pull their ads from the show. We kept the pressure on through our network of hundreds of thousands of followers on Facebook and Twitter, who helped spread our message.

The cancelation of Animal Practice sends the strong message that using animals for cheap laughs on TV shows is archaic and uninteresting to today's viewers, who are sophisticated enough to know that not only is putting a monkey in a lab coat not funny, it's also cruel.

Thank you for letting your voice be heard and for all that you do for animals!

Sincerely,
