SAMPLE LETTER:

 

Dear Mr. Hankla:

 

I am writing to support the the establishment of manatee sanctuaries.

Please do everything in your power to protect the last members of the

species. A manatee sanctuary is not only key to the recovery of the

species, but will also serve many other endangered and threatened marine

creatures who need protection.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Sincererly,

2. LETTER PROTESTING SPONSORSHIP OF RODEOS

 

SOURCE: PETA ALERTS NEWSLETTER

 

SEND LETTERS TO:

Ms. Freddi Moody

African American Cultural Alliance of Virginia Beach

146 Majestic Cir.

Virginia Beach, VA 23452

757-460-3093

E-Mail: femoody

 

SAMPLE LETTER:

 

Dear Ms. Moody:

 

I am writing to urge the African American Cultural Alliance of Virginia

Beach to distance itself from calf-roping and the rodeo. When a local

community-based organization that focuses on educating children endorses

an exploitative, violent, and cruel activity like a rodeo, the wrong

message is sent to youngsters.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Sincerely,

3. LETTER AGAINST " FOIE GRAS SEMINAR "

 

SOURCE: HUMANElines

 

SEND LETTERS TO:

Mark Phillips, Executive Director

Wine Tasting Association

8501 Doter Drive

Alexandria, VA 22308

Ph: 703 799-1221 (703) 799-1221

Fax: (703) 799-1695

Email: wta (winetasting.org)

 

SAMPLE LETTER:

 

Dear Mr. Phillips:

 

I am writing in reference to the " Foie Gras Seminar " , which the Wine

Tasting Association of Alexandria, Virginia is conducting on Wed.,

October 18th to promote the French " delicacy " of foie gras.

 

On foie gras farms, workers grab the birds three times a day, jam open

their bills, and force-feed them by shoving a long, inflexible pipe down

their throats. An

air-driven pump forces a third of the day's approximately seven pounds

of corn into each bird's stomach. The stress and pain often result in

birds who can no longer walk and are reduced to propelling themselves

over their cage floors by pushing with

their wings. Because of its horrible cruelty, foie gras has been banned

in Germany, Austria, Poland, Scandinavian countries, the UK and

apparently also in Russia.

 

By endorsing foie gras, you are supporting cruelty to animals. I

strongly urge you to cancel this event.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your reply.

 

Sincerely,
