A UNIQUE INVITATION

We are writing to invite you to listen to the following powerful protest song, "Monkey in a Cage", with a view to recommending it to the international animal rights community, who will be asked to download it on its release day - August the 20th.

http://iacmusic.com/songs.aspx?SongID=34807&ArtistID=18307

"Monkey in a Cage", (MiaC), written and performed by internationally acclaimed artist, Maria Daines, has been successful on independent music charts and Maria will be supporting pop singer "Pink" at the launch of "Party For Animals World Wide", at Cardiff International Arena, 21st of August. http://www.bornfree.org.uk/news/news-article/?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=71 Maria released a cd entitled 'Music United for Animals' to raise awareness of animal cruelty issues in November 2006, the project raises funds for grass roots rescue.

With Europe fast approaching an historic time for campaigners against primate experiments, our plan is to enable the publicity from MiaC to help NAVS' Written Declaration 40/2007, which calls for the end of primate experiments as a priority in Europe. At the time of writing, 296 MEPs have signed this important Declaration, with a total of 394 needed by September 7th.

If you were to add the following link/banner to your website and encourage your supporters to download MiaC on the 20th of August and forward our weekly news updates, there is an excellent chance MiaC will enter the UK charts and with that spotlight help to bring the antivivisection argument into living rooms, onto ipods, and, thereby into general discussion for positive change.

To Place the Banner on your sites, copy and paste the code below.

Advice and guidance for this project has been given generously by a professional music promoter working with Sting and Sheryl Crow. It is estimated that only 8,000 downloads are needed to enter the mainstream chart, so there is little doubt that with your assistance, together we have a very real possibility of achieving our aim.

Needless to add, (as you will undoubtedly already be aware), some of Europe's leading anti vivisection scientists are starting to work closely with the animal rights movement, to enable top level science to join forces with established ethical campaigns. It was great to read specialist Parkinson's research scientist Dr Claude Reiss' hard hitting challenge to every aspect of Oxford University's proposed new monkey lab here, posted on the SPEAK website, in honour of World Lab Animal Day: http://www.speakcampaigns.org/articles/20070425reiss.php

You may well also have read neurosurgeon Dr Marius Maxwell's strong views against the monkey lab here http://www.vero.org.uk/press7.asp

We feel the time is right for a new initiative to help at this historic juncture, and we would be delighted if you could add our link to your site as soon as possible. This would give the AR movement nearly a full month to familiarise themselves with this challenge, and give everyone time to prepare for the download date of the 20th August.

Last, but by no means least, artist Maria Daines wishes all proceeds from the song's download to be donated to the incredible, and much deserving, Cef-yr-Erw primate sanctuary in Wales http://www.cefn-yr-erw.co.uk/

Once the song enters the charts, we anticipate heavy traffic from non-animal rights surfers who may wish to visit our website - please let us know if you would like us to add a link to your site; this would, of course, encourage the general public, and media professionals, to take time to investigate the valuable information on offer there.

Thank you very much for your time. Please don't hesitate to get in touch as soon as you wish, or perhaps even arrange a meeting with us in person, if you wish to discuss this exciting project further.

Many thanks for your kind attention.

Yours sincerely,
