It's so awesome that youv'e typed a letter, and are now ready to post it (be sure to personally sign it as well in pen)!
A letter, printed and signed by a person, is a great way to achieve the change we want in this world. It shows you care beyond the simple level of putting your name down to an online petition - somethign which takes all of 3 seconds.
If you're into this type of activism, be sure to type, print and sign a letter (about factory farming - maybe concentrate on pigs?) to your local Member of Parliament (MP). It's an election year, so a letter will be especially effective!
If you're interested, but don't know where to start - tell me! I'll happily help you out, and find out your local MP if you don't there name.
A letter via email is counted by MPs as something with the support of 10 people.
A letter typed, signed and sent is counted by MPS as something with the support of 100 people.
And a phone call to them is counted as something with the support of 1,000.
Sometimes an election for a local seat may only be seperated by 1000 or so votes - so you can see why getting in touch with our local politicians is so vital! It's the difference between having nor not-having a job for them, and the difference between life or death for the animals!
.... I think I have the numbers right here. But if anyone knows more, do say so haha.
