This week for writing we had a choice of 3 ideas for animal based writing. We could either make a story that was based on a sad animal experience a entertaining story, or finally the one i did a letter to Jacinda about if all cats got called as 'pests' and had to be euthanized.
Dear Jacinda Ardern
My name is Eden Watson and I'm from Moana on the west coast of
the south island. I believe that cats should not be labelled as ‘pests’!
Cats are loving, caring, compassionate and are amazing animals to have!
You can label feral cats as ‘pests’ or ferrets as ‘pests’ but there is
no way that a pet cat should be labelled as a ‘pest’. Is a dog a pest?
We cats should not be either!
Cats treat people with love, why can't we treat them with love?
As Anthony Doughlas Williams stated “When humans act with cruelty
we characterise them as ‘animals’ yet the only animal that displays
cruelty is humanity”
Don't you think that we should stop being so hypocritical
to one another and not show animal cruelty! It is just wrong
to euthanize animals that haven't done anything wrong!
Before you make your final call please consider letting them live.
They mean the world to a lot of people!
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter.
Sincerely Eden Watson.
Eden I absolutely agree with you and this letter has entirely changed the one part of me that thought that cats are pests. I think you wrote it perfectly and that you don't need to change anything. -Kaelyn
