Concerns About the March of Dimes

Sample Letter to the Editor

March of Dimes-Funded Animal Experiments

Please send us any responses you receive.

Dear Letters Editor:

The March of Dimes, the largest charity devoted to the health of babies and mothers, continues to spend as much as $30 million annually on irrelevant, wasteful, and cruel animal experiments. However, this spring, many members of our community will take part in the local March of Dimes WalkAmerica fundraiser—often unaware that the funds they raise can go directly toward these misleading animal tests. Animal experiments are notoriously poor predictors regarding birth defects, and many even lead us in the wrong direction completely.

Thankfully though, there are health charities that effectively help human babies and mothers without harming animals. These organizations have been awarded the Humane Charity Seal of Approval (www.HumaneSeal.org), verifying that they promote human health through only the best patient services, health education, and modern human-relevant research.  I hope that this year, March of Dimes supporters in our community will choose to make their donations cruelty-free.

Sincerely,

{insert your name here}
