Sample Letter to Prime Minister Vajpayee:


[DATE]

Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee
152 South Block
New Delhi 110 011

Dear Mr Prime Minister:

I am writing to urge you to kindly take steps to alleviate the suffering of cattle, goats and other animals in transport and slaughter. To date, hardly a single animal has been spared unlawful and unnecessary cruelty in these areas.

I also request that you update the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act of 1960. If the current weak and outdated penalties for animal cruelty were increased, the police, animal welfare officers and the public would have the power needed to enforce animal protection laws and to help stop unnecessary abuse in transport and slaughter.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PO Box 28260, Juhu, Mumbai 400 049) is ready to work with your office in this regard.

Respectfully yours,

[YOUR NAME]
