The Honorable Sherry Capello
Mayor of Lebanon
Expensive Mayor Capello:
Greetings! I’m writing on behalf of Other people for the Moral Remedy of Animals—PETA entities have greater than 9 million contributors and supporters globally, and PETA U.S. is the biggest animal rights group on the earth. It has come to our consideration that Lebanon is making plans to host the Lebanon Bologna Drop this yr. We want to be offering vegan bologna for free if town ends the unsightly custom of the usage of the lifeless frame portions of delicate cows for a New Yr’s stunt this is frankly a load of bologna. Will you please have a good time the brand new yr by way of upgrading to vegan bologna for the impending Bologna Drop?
Cows are delicate, curious, and suave animals, they usually don’t wish to be floor up into bologna. To transform the sausages dangling from a disco ball, those delicate beings are shipped to feces-filled feedlots, the place they’re filled in combination by way of the hundreds in all climate extremes. They’re then packed onto vehicles for a daunting adventure to a slaughterhouse, the place they face a merciless and painful dying. Many govt slaughterhouse inspectors refuse to consume meat after witnessing those terrible, filthy prerequisites.
Elevating animals to consume is now identified as an environmental calamity, because it calls for colossal quantities of land, meals, power, and water. And processed meats, like bologna, are dangerous for animals, the planet, and our arteries—in addition to a identified carcinogen implicated within the possibility of creating most cancers. And because consuming vegan meals reduces deforestation and lack of biodiversity, vegan bologna is the sustainable superstar that the Lebanon Bologna Drop merits.
We are hoping you’ll settle for our be offering to have two vegan bolognas descend at the disco ball this New Yr’s Eve. Thanks on your time and attention. Would possibly your party be full of pleasure, compassion, and a marginally of mirror-ball magic.
We eagerly anticipate your reaction.
Sincerely,
Tracy Reiman
Government Vice President
