Dear Congressman Gallegly:

Thank you for your recent introduction of legislation to ban "crush videos". As a concerned citizen and an animal lover, I am appalled that this sort of atrocity is allowed to occur. We must not permit such cruelty to take place in the name of "freedom" – no one has the freedom to torture and kill helpless creatures for profit.

Thank you again for taking a stand on this important issue and best of luck. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
