NZ North Canterbury Cat Hunting Competition Protest Letter Template


MAIL TO: dan.gordon@wmk.govt.nz 

Dear Mayor Gordon,

I am one of thousands of people around the globe who were shocked and saddened to learn that the feral cat category of the North Canterbury Hunting Competition has been reinstated.

The practice of killing cats is cruel, ineffective, and unnecessary. Cats are often used by environmentalists as a scapegoat for declining wildlife populations, without proper data to support that claim. Please read the information sent to you by Alley Cat Rescue to get the real facts.

Additionally, feral cats exist in New Zealand, and everywhere, due to centuries of misguided human behavior and neglect. Controlling their numbers while safeguarding their lives should be our responsibility!

I hope that you will choose to prevent the meaningless killing of outdoor cats by demanding the feral cat category be cancelled for good.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
[Your Country]
