" One of the Council Members wrote to me stating that the only reason people care the cow was killed is because they are " jumping on the bandwagon. " It is very important that they receive individual letters.** SAMPLE LETTER: Dear Mayor Moore, Mayor Pro Tem Simonoff, Ladies & Gentlemen: Please add my voice to those who oppose the slaughtering of a cow which took place at the Carbon Canyon Christian School on May 17, 2001. According to a newspaper report, a two-year-old steer named T-bone that had been raised at the school was slaughtered Thursday in front of students for " educational " purposes. Authorities have stated that the school may have violated several city laws. Brea's City Planner David Crabtree is quoted as saying, " The zoning at that property doesn't provide at all for the keeping or slaughtering of livestock. " This so-called " valuable learning experience " was highly misleading in that it failed to educate students about the conditions found on today's modern factory farms. If the point was to educate students on how a " food " animal is slaughtered, the school should have brought them to a slaughter house and shown them how it's really done. I suggest you read the series of articles in the Washington Post titled " They Die Piece by Piece. " You can read it online: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/nation/specials/food/A60798-2001Apr9.html I demand a full investigation of this incident. If the school has broken any city, county, or state laws, I request that the participating school employees be charged and that you seek the maximum penalty. I also suggest that humane education be included in the school curriculum, as opposed to slaughtering animals. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your reply. Sincerely, cc: Carbon Canyon Christian School 5600 Carbon Canyon Road Brea, CA 92823 ===== How Much Cruelty Can You Stomach. http://www.MurderKing.com Help Save A Stray http://www.saveastray.com Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
