I am writing this to you on behalf of the National Organization of Olay Defense Leagues- NOODLE. We are waging a battle to stop the slaughter of millions of little olays that are cruelly and inhumanely used in the manufacture of "Oil of Olay." If you read the list of ingredients that by law is required to be printed on the packaging of this product, you might think that all those chemicals are made in the laboratories of the cosmetics company. WRONG! 65% of those ingredients are, in reality, the chemical composition of the skin oils and the sub- cutaneous scent glands of the olay. Most people think that the name of this product comes from the town in northern Italy where this "beauty oil" was made. This is partially true. "Oil of Olay" did originate in Olay, Italy. But the little animal that supplies the olay oil was first introduced to Europe by Marco Polo, who brought the creature back with him on his second trip to China. At first, the little olay was just a novelty. An adult olay has the size and appearance of a new- born kitten. The novelty and cuteness of this oriental animal soon wore off with the courtiers who received them as gifts from Marco Polo.
However, in a town in northern Italy there was an alchemist who had given up his search for a magical formula of turning lead into gold, and had dedicated his research endeavors to finding "youth potions" for the aging royalty of the courts of Europe. This twisted and diabolical man turned his experiments on any animals that he could find. His experiments eventually victimized the poor helpless olay, dragged across two continents, only to become the discarded plaything of the rich. He discovered that the oil, pressed from the skin of the olay, and also extracted from its scent glands had an almost miraculous restorative property when applied to human skin. Wrinkles disappeared, and roughness was smoothed away. He sold his discovery as a "potion" that would take years off the appearance of anyone who applied it frequently to their face and hands. The olay oil became so popular that the town eventually took on the name of the little animal that made it famous.
If you have seen pictures of the battered and bleeding bodies of seals who have been skinned alive my merciless seal-skin hunters, then you can imagine what happens to the olays as they sacrifice their lives to be literally worn on the faces of women around the world. This skinning alive of olays used to be a job done by hand by cold-hearted workers. Now it is done by machine. No one hears their cries as they lie in heaps waiting to be thrown out. If people only knew of this monumentally inhumane tragedy, I am sure the conscientious women of America would help put a stop to it by refusing to use this product. Many have already supported animal rights by not wearing furs.
Due to the enormous political and economic power of the cosmetics industry, past efforts to bring this animal-rights abuse to light have been quashed. Only recently have we been able to get ourselves heard. There is a national "hot- line" for those wishing more information. 1-800-555-OLAY. Thank-you for your support. Sincerely,
(Your name here).
WON'T YOU PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO HELP?
THANK YOU.
