Luna // Story: Mercury's Misadventures In Author Land // by Mercury Zero //------------------------------// Tough Cookie Esq., Attourney At Law Cupcake & Cookie & Cream Legal Services 235 Olde Canterlot Rd. Canterlot, Equestria Re: Equestrian Equal Rights Act Complaince Dear Princess Luna, While acting on behalf of my client, one Sparklepuff Glitterpants, it has come to my attention that your entire royal guard is composed solely of male bat ponies. It is also evident that you have withheld job opportunities from my client, on the basis that she is an 83 year old female earth pony. Any such action, if taken, would be a clear, and wanton violation of sections four through seven of the Equestrian Equal Rights Act, and may subject you to sanctions and fines, up to and including three thousand bits, as well as punative injunctions, and statutory damages. Accordingly, you have no right to continue to deprive my client of her rightful job opportunities, and I demand that you immediately: 1. Hire Sparklepuff Glitterpants as your captain of your personal guard. 2. Supply her with with all commenserate pay and benefits of her position. 3. Supply her with a wheel chair and one of those weird cart thingies with tennis balls on two of the feet that you push around for some reason, in complaince with the Equestrians With Disabilities Act. 4. Provide written assurances to me that you have complied with all these directives, and will not, in the future, deny any prospective employee her rights to gainful employment in your royal guard on the basis of gender or age. Submit your written assurances to me no later than next week, to ensure that my client is not forced to consider further action. Signed, Tough Cookie, Esquire.
