WILL you please ask all animal supporters to write letters of protest to Mr Saiffudin Soz, Minister of the Environment, Paryavaran Bhavan, CGO Complex, Lodi Road, New Delhi 1003 India, stating the cruel continuation of bear baiting and the cruel practice of removing sloth bears from the wild and training them to dance for the amusement of the tourists.
If all the tourists refrained from supporting this barbaric practice it would be a massive help in stopping this procedure, which is in fact illegal, but the local government remains reluctant to enforce its legislation by stopping it.
Future generations will not forgive our cruelty.
D Fillingham.
