People should control their animals. Brave postmen go out day after day, dealing with vicious animals, risking life and limb, letting nothing deter them from making the mail delivery to your door.
We should appreciate these resilient men and women more.
Sometimes authorities have to step in and resort to drastic action.
Royal Mail sent the following letter to the owner of a particularly vicious animal:
It read: ‘I am writing to let you know that, on the 6th of June , our postman was attacked by your animal in your premises while delivering mail to your address.
‘Animal attacks are a major cause of injury to Royal Mail staff and so I am writing to seek your co-operation in preventing a repeat of this unfortunate incident.
‘I must advise you that, if any further incidents of this nature are allowed to take place, I shall have no alternative other than to consider suspending the delivery of mail to your home.’
The letter was most certainly called for under the circumstances, don’t you think?
More about the dangerous animal that prompted the letter to be written.
