There is this thing that the local mall is doing for kids, they are going to
give out 100 goldfish each with a 1 gallon (give or take- medium critter
keeper ) container. This is animal cruelty. Comet goldfish need 20 gallons
per fish. Its like keeping a dog in the cabinet under the kitchen sink or a
child in a closet. What i plan on doing is making fliers on proper goldfish
care and posting them on bulletin boards in the town hall, and grocery
stores and whereever else i can and i want to present a bunch of printouts
to the lady who is running this thing. According to my manager he has told
her that goldfish need bigger before and she refuses to listen but i guess
he told me that the last event they used quart size bowls for the goldfish
they gave out to kids.

What i need help is is that im bad with words, i need help formin the letter
and fliers in To the point wording and it has to sound reasonably polite.
When i get angry (wich i am) i tend to babble and i get mean and stuff. If
ya want to call i can give the mall office number and the chick's name is
Jill. Thanks for any encouragement and help.

Sharon,

How about:-

A dog kept under the stairs permanently is animal cruelty
A cat kept in a basket all the time is animal cruelty
A goldfish kept in a small bowl and not a large tank is animal cruelty
