To Whom it May Concern:

I have been so pleased to watch your programs and receive your email updates. However, I am disappointed to learn that SC Johnson is one of your major supporters.

Perhaps you are unaware that this company tests many of their products with cruel and inhumane and antiquated methods on a variety of animals.
It is unconscionable that a program that appears to care for the wonderful creatures on our planet would accept funds from a company that kills and maims some of those same creatures.
I would appreciate a reply with assurances that you will look into this issue.
