Defenseless animals

Defenseless animals

For some time now I have been meaning to write to you to say
just how much I admire The Jakarta Post for speaking out so often
on many controversial environmental issues. These many articles
and reports printed in recent months seem well researched and
informed, more recently targeting the many endangered animals
chained and caged in zoos, markets and private homes.

There can never be enough attention drawn to the suffering of
these defenseless creatures as the great tide of ignorant
humanity engulfs the earth, greedily consuming everything in its
path. Well let's hope the "Earth Summit" in Bali succeeds with
much positive "talk". With the Post keeping us updated, shark fin
soup off the menu, animals in the trees and tiger parts out of
the medicine.
