| Important Addresses to contact ! |
| This page contains a number of addresses which can be contacted for expressing your concern on Ato's case in Ann Arbor, which might set a precedent for future dog bite complaints and will put all our dogs arbitrarily at risk. Ato needs your help, he has been wrongly condemned to death and is on death row now for near 2 years ! Most essential is that the City of Ann Arbor is contacted. You can do so by signing a petition. This petition can be found by clicking here for the page "Petition". After downloading or copy/paste and completing you can send it preferably to; "Save Ato the Dog, P.O. Box 130825, Ann Arbor, MI 48113-0825, U.S.A.". That's the most effective way. The petition is not limited to the citizens of Ann Arbor/Michigan area only. Reactions from all over the world are more then welcome. Whatever you do, please react and make the City of Ann Arbor aware that they are doing a wrong job. See below some important addresses. | ||
| How
To Write a Protest Email
Use preferably the petition when you want to contact the City of Ann Arbor. Many thanks to Adrienne Caldwell for the following tips on how to write protest emails, as well as some excellent email addresses. Typically, writing is more effective than calling, but you can often cover more ground and collect more information by calling around first. When you're writing a letter, always give your name and address and ask for a reply. If you call, consider following up with a letter or fax. (Sometimes sending a fax asking the decision maker for a return call is more effective than leaving a message.) Be concise, informed, and as polite as you can. Always relate exactly what you want the decision maker to do. Talk about what you know -- humanize your message. Let experts cite statistics. You'll make more impact by talking about your concerns and your feelings. Be generous with praise, as well as criticism. A thank you for a job well done, if possible, may get your letter passed around a bit more. Be creative. Anything out of the ordinary can draw attention to your message. Share your experiences with friends. Encourage them to write, too. You may encourage someone to get involved for the first time .Adrienne adds: Also contact via e-mail, fax and snail mail your mayor and governor. It couldn't hurt to also do the same with Bill and Al. "Remember that this is what these guys and gals are here for, Use your right as a citizen to contact them all. I have gotten amazing results with even the littlest of issues." |
