Sample Letter

 

Dear Governor Schwarzenegger,

I am writing to ask that you pass bill SB 1520 into law. This bill

would outlaw the animal cruelty of foie gras production.

 

To produce foie gras (a duck liver appetizer), ducks are pumped full

of huge amounts of food for weeks with large metal pipes in order to

enlarge their livers. This causes tremendous pain and suffering to

the birds, and the birds are literally on the verge of organ rupture

in the days before they are sent to slaughter (many die from this

and other injuries).

 

We cannot allow this horrific industry to continue in our beautiful

state. This is an issue of animal torture, and it cannot be

tolerated by any civilized society.

 

Sincerely,

_______
