Dear Mother, J

I know we all miss Joe a lot and are very upset about his death L. I also know that Joe probably would like it better if we did’nt cry, but we can’t help it. Joe was a big part of both of our lives and we miss him very much, although it is better for him because he isn’t in pain anymore. But think about a different situation. Think about if Joe was up for adoption, just a small little baby that, no room to play and run in. Imagine how Joe would have felt, scared, lonely. Imagine the same situation but with a different animal almost five times his size, in a cage he barely fits in, no one feeding it or cleaning out its cage. I am talking about chinchillas.

CHINCHILLAS Chinchillas are unique animals that diserve lots of care and affection. Unfortunately, chinchillas are killed daily for their fur and then are sold for something the people will probably only wear once in their lives, and even if they feel sorry for buying it nothing could ever take back the life of that poor little animal that was killed because of a persons greed. The chinchillas are put into a tank with gas that poisons and kills them. Then they are skinned and their bodies are probably thrown away or eaten by some sick pig who would eat anything in the world.

Chinchillas are pretty energetic creatures that probably love to have a normal life and have caring owners. You need to feed them and give them dust baths everyday but it is probably worth it when you get see their excitement everyday, and know that they are happy and you just rescued an animal. I think that if I could buy everything off the internet then adopt a chinchilla it would be around $100.00. If dad would stop buying movies we could probably have the money in about half a month. I am not saying that I need one rite away, just in the next two years or closer.


 * The affected people would mainly be our family. It would affect both of bus because we would have a new animal to be friends with and it would give me a new chore and would keep me off of the compter for atleast two more hours each day. It might also affect Matt and Luke if they choose to think of it as a pet, then thet would also take care of it and if you make Matt take care of it sometime he will stop playing video games so much**. **Maybe the chinchilla will let us learn to take care of an animal that was bigger than Joe but smaller than Sara because I know I was to ypung and Matt and Luke didn't help take care of Susie that much, but i really miss having an animal that I can carry around the house and let it walk around everywhere and I'm sure you would want an animal like that back,too.I kn ow tyhat you're going to say there is no room or money, but we can adopt it. And with everything urplanning on doing to my room im probably going to have enough space for Sara to stay in. Adoption is also a good thing because it's almost selfish to**

 * So I hope that you aree with me that we should adopt this uniqe animal and let it have a somewhat normal life. I hope to look back on tis letter when I get a chinchilla and hope that you made the rite choice.**
