I just sent this letter .... they will be vilified to see letters coming from as far afield as New Zealand and Australia!!

**************

To Whom it May Concern,

I am writing in relation to a disturbing incident relayed to me by an associate of mine in Canada. I am of the understanding that one of your news reporters disgraced himself, during a story about bears that had befriended a cat, by making inappropriate comments about wanting to "see some violence." Not only is this highly offensive to animal rights activists and animal lovers everywhere, it is a blatant example of unprofessionalism in journalism. Any first-year journalism student will tell you on their first day that a journalist must keep his or her personal biases entirely separate from their reporting duties. Furthermore, as this reporter is no doubt being awarded with an obscene salary, one would come to expect much higher standards of behaviour.

To redeem yourselves, I strongly suggest a public apology, and that you get involved with the "Find the Kensington Cat" case and help the campaign to find the owner of the mutilated cat from the Toronto area.
