Sample Letter to urge organisations to
formulate policies against using circuses
as a fundraising activity

 

Dear :

This letter is to request that you formulate a policy against booking animal-based circuses as fundraisers. Wild animals should not be exploited for the sake of entertainment. More and more people are realizing that forcing voiceless animals to "perform" is not entertainment. Please use only willing, human performers in the future.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your address - optional]
