NOTE:
Please consider mailing hard
copies of your letters (instead of/or in addition to e-mail) because many
people report that recipients take hard copy letters more seriously.
Due to the past Anthrax scares in
the USA, when writing the President of the United States and Members
of Congress, it is best to FAX your letters and follow-up with a phone
call to their local or Washington, D.C. office.
Each letter counts. Never doubt
this :)

Domestic Animal
Abuse:
Over and over again young boys and adults WITH A
HISTORY OF ANIMAL ABUSE AND torture are murdering children and adults in
this nation�s schools, churches and work places. We must once again
write and educate lawmakers, officials and community leaders on the
animal-human violence connection. Most people, while
well-intentioned, only act when the health and safety of their children
and fellow humans are adversely affected. Let�s make them aware of
the animal-human violence connection, loud and clear.

Are you involved in community
events or corporate sponsorship programs? If your town is planning to have
a circus that features animals, please inform your local government
officials about the cruelties performing animals have to endure, and
provide them with a list of alternative circuses that feature human
performers. Some top non-animal circuses are:
Cirque du
Soleil, 1217 Notre-Dame St., East; Montreal, Quebec H2L
2R3;
(514) 722-2324
Circus Chimera, 222 E. Jefferson
St.; PO Box 842; Hugo, OK 74743;
(580)
326-4999
Cirque Ingenieux, 10430 Scenario Lane; Los Angeles,
CA 90077; (310) 474-4556
XENOTRANSPLANTAION
or "Harvesting" Animals for Blood and Organs:
"Xenotransplantation" or the use of animals as "blood & organ
harvesting machines" is far from safe and may be the means of introducing
deadly new viral diseases into the human population, for which there are
no known cures. It is speculated by the scientific community that
the AIDS HIV virus was introduced by human contact with tissue and plasma
from a Rhesus monkey used by animal experimenters several years ago.
While the HIV virus had no effect on a Rhesus monkey's health, it caused
deadly effects when introduced to a human host. Xenotransplantation
could unleash other potentially deadly effects upon human health; not to
mention the cruelty involved in breeding and imprisoning intelligent,
emotional beings to "harvest" their body parts and blood.
WHAT CAN YOU
DO? If you live in the USA:
1.) Call 1-800-SAY-AAVS, or
visit their web site at: http://www.aavs.org to
learn about the Campaign for Responsible Transplantation.
2.) Begin a
dialog with 2 or 3 colleagues who may not yet realize the consequences of
Xenotransplantation.
3.) Send a letter to your Congresspersons.
You can locate your 2 U.S. Senators' and 1 U.S. Representatives' contact
information at: http://www.congress.org

Animal factories are one more
sign of the extent to which
our technological capacities have advanced
faster than our ethics...
We make free species extinct and domestic
species into biomachines.
We build cruelty into our diet. -- J. Mason
The greatness of a nation and
its moral progress can be judged
by the way its animals are treated.
-- Mohandas Gandhi
The love for all living
creatures is the most noble
attribute of man. -- Charles
Darwin
