The Humane Society of the United States

Use these samples as a starting point for your writing campaign.

Letters to the Editor

Writing a letter to the editor is a great way to share your opinion, educate the public about bear baiting, applaud someone for doing the right thing or criticize inhumane policies.

Choose from these five sample letters. It is very important to edit these letters and make them your own. Letters are more likely to be printed if they are not identical to others.

Letters to Legislators

Bear baiting should be banned everywhere. Help end this abuse by contacting officials in your state. Find out who your legislators are and get tips on contacting them.

Below are five sample letters to legislators. Remember to put them into your own words, so they make a bigger impact on legislators.

Op-Eds

Submitting an op-ed is another great way to focus public attention on the cruelty of bear baiting. Below are sample op-eds you can modify.
