Dear [NAME],

After reading this horrifying account, we are heartsick knowing that the cruel practice of canned hunting continues. Crying baby animals, heartlessly separated from their families, are forced to witness the abhorrent murder of their helpless mothers. Such loathsome acts are outrageous and unconscionable. Animals are sentient, sapient beings capable of perceiving pain, fear, confusion, and loneliness - just as we humans do.

We trust you find the gratuitous slaughter of imprisoned animals as profane and senseless as we do. As such, we urge you to do all you can to put a permanent stop to these atrocities. Please set a compassionate precedent of preservation, not destruction. Thank you kindly for your consideration and prompt action.

Sincerely,
