Dear Ms. Young,

My name is Maria La Ganga, and I’m a reporter for the Los Angeles Times based in San Francisco. I’m writing a story about the proposed ban on sales of pets – from cats and dogs through small animals and birds. I understand that you have spoken about the need for birds to be added to that sales ban at recent animal commission meetings and I’d love to talk to you about the issue. I’m reachable best on cell today at 415 515 9805. Or I’d be delighted to call you if you can suggest a time and number.

Best,

Maria
