Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Please try to either write your own letter, or change the sample below. Remember to be polite and respectful for the animals sake. Thanks, Rita All the info. in this alert can be found at the HUA's site: Hearts United for animals: http://www.prisonersofgreed.org/Pennsylvania-kennels-email.html Dogs Can't Talk -They Need You To Speak For Them Please Send An Email We have created a sample email and a list of addresses that you can copy and paste into your email program. If you want to create your own email or modify ours, that's great. Unique emails are always most effective. But if you're short on time, the most important thing is for them to hear from you. We have set this up for the email to come from your email address rather than ours because it is much more effective for them to see lots of different addresses. How to Send An Email. 1. Open your email program. Copy the sample email and paste it into your message area. Modify it as you wish. It's not a good idea to send attachments or put any kind of graphic or photo in the email because they are often cause the email to be rejected by government agencies for security reasons. 2. Copy the email addresses and paste them into the "to" section of your email. Be certain to copy them exactly as we have written them with commas separating the names. We would appreciate it if you would copy us (hua). 3. Be sure to sign your name. Email that are signed are taken much more seriously than anonymous email. 4. Send the email. Sample Email Governor, Lt, Governor, Secretary, Lancaster County Tourist and Visitors' Bureau, Pennsylvania State Department of Agriculture, Pennsylvania Legislators: I am strongly opposed to commercial breeding kennels where the costs are minimized by providing substandard care and conditions for the dogs in an effort to increase the profit. It is morally and ethically wrong to keep dogs in wire cages for their entire lives, breeding them over and over until they die. I am writing to request that you immediately take steps to address the horrific conditions in commercial kennels in Pennsylvania, particularly Lancaster County. The laws need to be upgraded to provide better care for the dogs, the regulations need to be rewritten, and enforcement needs to be dramatically enhanced. At a minimum every kennel that does not have a visible, safe source of heat and air-conditioning should be immediately shut down. Given the number of fires at kennels that have killed hundreds of dogs it is obvious that propane is not safe source of heat and should not be allowed. And we ask that the responsibility for creating the regulations and enforcing them be moved from the Agriculture Department. As has been noted on many occasions including by Senator Greenleaf and past Agriculture Secretary, Charles Brosius, there is an inherent conflict of interest in having the same agency that is supposed to promote an industry be the same agency tasked with investigating that industry. It is shocking that a state like Pennsylvania would become a haven for such a despicable industry. Such disregard for life mocks decency. I will not visit Lancaster County until the commercial kennels are shut down. I will tell everyone I know not to visit Lancaster County. I could never vacation in a place where such cruelty exists. I will choose to spend my tourist dollar in another location. Please take steps to stop this atrocity.
