Sample Letter to help stray animals in Brazil

[Guest guest]

The stray animals of the city of Salvador in Brazil are the most

miserable and mistreated of the country.Witnesses said that animals

are kept in terrible conditions, abused and killed in such barbaric

ways. A witness saw a veterinarian spilling bleach on new born

puppies, animals being kicked and hit by the employees.

 

Last year 2602 animals were exterminated and only 123 rescued by their

owners. The problem is the fee that is too expensive for people who

earn minimal wage. The Animal Control was charged for Cruelty to

Animals but the Major has no concerning about that. Everything is the

same. We need to make a lot of pressure in order to make him aware

that animal welfare is an important issue.

 

Please send letters to:

Dear Mr. Imbassahy:

 

We are aware of the barbaric way that Animal Control has been treating

the stray animals in Salvador. Not only Brazilian activists have

reported cruelty to animals in your city. Many tourists around the

world have witnessed animals being brutaly captured on the street as

well as children crying for their beloved pets because they do not

have money to get them back.

 

Last year, we had the opportunity to read some news translated to

English , where was told that the Animal Control was being prosecuted

for cruelty. However, in April 2001, we received bad news again about

a dog called Bob that was killed even having a guardian and had

received all its shots.

 

For the sake of Animals and the tourism in your city, we ask you to

follow the example of the City of Rio de Janeiro, whose Major Mr.

Cesar Maia has been legislating and providing dignity to animals. Rio

de Janeiro has become a non-kill city, what is less expensive than

exterminating animals and more humane as well.

 

Animal cruelty is crime in your country . People (and it doesn't

matter where they are from) expect children to grow up respecting all

living creatures because this is the first lesson towards respecting

human beings. A great nation is ethical towards humans and animals

alike.

 

Public Health authorities have always used the risk of disease

transmission to humans as an excuse to justify the indiscriminate

extermination of animals. We ask you for structural changes in the

bodies responsible for the capture of homeless animals.

 

Spaying and Neutering, educating people and creating a bond between

the City Hall and the groups for protection os Animals is the fastest

way to achieve a compassionate solution. Once more, we can mention Rio

de Janeiro, that should be an example for all your country.

 

This message is being spread all over the world and we ask all people

who read it to tell their friends to skip SALVADOR on their trips

until animals and people can receive the same ethical treatment.

 

I look forward to hear from you, Mr. Imbassahy.

 

Sincerely,

Humans are a disease, a cancer of this planet, and we are the cure... GO VEGAN!
