INFORMATION
Politely inform
the zoo staff and board members that The National Zoo has suffered
so much embarrassing controversy lately, that adding such a controversial
exhibit would expose the zoo to more negative attention because of
misleading content of the Kids' Farm and the great potential for disease
transmission, such as e-coli.
By far, a neatly hand written or typed letter gets much more attention
than sending an email. Sending an email as a follow-up is effective,
but for the greatest impact make sure to send that postal letter.
Since it takes a little bit more work than just sending an email it
shows that you really care about the topic if you are willing to put
in the extra effort.
