A copy of the letter, which was sent to the station's "general" address:
***
I am writing to suggest a segment/story about puppy mills. These are breeding factories with inhumane conditions and horrible cruelty in several forms. They exist everywhere in the United States. Typically, these mills breed puppies until the mothers die. Normally, the puppies are sold at an unhealthily young age to pet stores.
I'd like you to consider covering this subject, as many people are unaware of the danger involved in supporting this evil industry. I also believe that, in doing so, you can showcase the sensitivity and caring nature of the employees of your station.
Thank you for your time, and I'd love to help in any way possible.

Hi there. My name is Megan Pringle, with ABC 6 and Fox 28. Your email was
forwarded to me. As an animal lover, puppy mills have always made me sick. I would love to do a story. If you get a chance, please give me a call.
