Persuasive Letter
Attention Hunters!
I am furtal the turtle and I'm writing to you because My family and I are living in fear. I know if you listen to me and hear my side of the story, you will understand and stop the hunting.
We recently just lost our father. He went out to eat and never came home. We were told by some other turtles that he was captured by humans. I know that you humans use our shells, eggs, and oils for your own personal use but cant you see what your doing to us in the process. Our numbers are reduced because of human activity, such as capturing or killing for food and the destruction and pollution of our nesting beaches. I'm not going to even mention ocean pollution and being caught up in fishing nets.
My family calls the warm waters of the ocean home. We have been in the ocean for about 230 million years - since before the dinosaurs. Please stop coming into our home and taking our loved ones. How would you like it if that were done to you? I know that we could all get along if we tried. I also know that you don't have to kill us in order to "get by". Your ancestors didn't hunt us so why do you? I really believe that we all can enjoy the ocean, and all of its great resource without all the killing.
We Sea Turtles are somewhat protected because we are classified as endangered! However, we need your help too! I know If you and your friends would just stop hunting us we would be taken off the endangered species list. I ask you to put yourself in my flippers. We really enjoy our way of life. Just like you enjoy yours. I have lost so many relatives because they were hunted and killed. I would also like to have my own little Furtal Jr. one day.
The mama turtles wanted me to also tell you that you need to clean up the beaches. They cant possibly lay their eggs on a polluted beach. They want their hatchlings to be born in a safe and clean environment. Just like you want for your children. I know that you wouldn't want your child being born in a dirty place.
I hope that you will hear my plea. Thank you so much for hearing me out. We turtles hope that we will be working and living together in harmony real soon. Thanks for you coopration in advance.
Yours truly,
Furtal
