WRITE TO YOUR MP

Dear (MP NAME)

Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act

I write as your constituent to ask you urge the Prime Minister to ensure this crucial new Act is implemented without delay. Asian elephants and other species – lions, tigers, gorillas, chimps, bears – are routinely brutalised and tortured for easy use in tourism. Many exploited species are nearing extinction, so much driven by brutal UK tourism advertising. Often mistreated elephants and other animals attack and kill humans.

The new Act will ban the domestic advertising and sale of access to brutal practices that would be unlawful if happening in the UK. Implementation of these measures must not be delayed.

Please would you urge Defra Secretary of State Coffey to work with Save The Asian Elephants and the charity sector to produce and implement robust activity regulations as soon as possible so that the law can take effect rapidly.

Yours sincerely
[YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS]
