Hello Bexley AC

We are the Animal Protection Agency (APA), a national charity based in Brighton and we are desperate for funds!

As you may know, next April is the first Brighton marathon and we are looking for runners who would like to participate, raise money and awareness of our small yet dynamic charity.

The Animal Protection Agency (APA) is the UK organisation committed to ceasing the trade in wildlife for pets. Perhaps unbelievably, it is still legal in Britain to sell wild animals captured from other countries. The majority of wild-trapped animals die from the stress and disease that is associated with every stage of their harrowing journey. Next to habitat destruction, collection of animals for the pet trade is the main reason for the decline in many species. Attempts to regulate and control the trade have globally failed. The problem is getting worse, and time is running out!

I would be most grateful if you could circulate my request amongst Bexley AC, and if you would like any further information, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you.

Kind regards.
