Dear ( ):

 

I urge you to establish an adoption program for

companion birds in your stores, instead of

contributing to the epidemic of unwanted and abused

birds who languish in cages all over the United

States.

 

Whether due to frustration, disinterest, or concern,

many people attempt to rid themselves of the

responsibility of caring for their birds.

Unfortunately, few of these birds will find a loving

home, and most will spend their days isolated and

confined to their cages. For an active, intelligent,

social, flight-adapted animal, a life spent alone in a

cage is incredibly cruel. By treating birds like

merchandise, your store is contributing to the

epidemic of abused and unwanted birds, and

perpetuating the idea that animals are products to be

used for our benefit and/or convenience.

 

Your store is in a unique position to set a standard

for pet stores around the country by establishing an

adoption program for unwanted birds, and by setting

high standards of care for potential adopters to

assure that the physical and psychological needs of

the bird(s) are met.

 

You owe your company's success to animals. At the very

least, you should consider their future welfare.

 

 

Sincerely,

(end of sample)
