– Why you think that it is not a good act

– Write your suggestions for Local Council

– Describe your action plan to counter this issue

Sample Answer

Dear Sir,

Yesterday, while I was reading a newspaper, a shocking piece of news grabbed my attention. The news article titled ‘City to soon get rid of pigeons’ disturbed me in totality. Ergo, I thought to write a letter to you voice against this decision.

It is the 21^st century where people march for every inhumane act. But oftentimes we become only a spectator when the government is involved in promoting many inhumane acts. As per your article, the local council will use Avitrol – a pesticide that causes epileptic like convulsions, not only in birds, but in any vertebrates that consume it. We have many other options to control pigeons without the use of lethal poisons. Using such poison to make them suffer to die and convulse is unacceptable and unconscionable. Therefore, we ought to get united to oppose this decision. My personal standpoint to this issue is why such mute birds are subjected to suffer this inhumane treatment.

I need you to write another article opposing this decision and help me gather the community support to sign a petition against this decision. Please feel free to contact me at Menka.Gandhi@ghj.com

Yours faithfully,

Menka Gandhi
