Gentlemen,

 

I am shocked, absolutely horrified after reading the article below. I am

urging that immediate arrest charges to be brought against the individuals

responsible for such a premeditated, barbaric act of cruelty.

 

How could the police stand ther and watch this happen without intervening

and arresting these people? What was done to this animal should be punished

by the full force of the law, not only for the sake of this tortured animal,

but for an example to be set that this kind of treatment of any animal will

not be tolerated.

 

I await your positive reply.

 

Sincerely,

Nuntanit Bumrungsap

Bangkok, Thailand

* The Himalayan Black Bear is a protected species under the Wildlife

Protection Act of India and deserves better treatment than this. An FIR has

been lodged and legal action is on the anvil. *

 

 

THE ARTICLE:

 

In what must surely rank as one of the

most brutal and insensitive cases of animal torture in India, a Himalayan

Black Bear(Moon Bear) was encircled by a group of villagers in Pir Panjar in

 

Jammu and Kashmir who stoned, hammered and eventually set the animal on fire

alive. Sahara Rashtriya, a national channel, did a special episode on this

gruesome incident today and aired footage of the killing for well over an

hour. It made very painful viewing. The Forest Department personnel and the

police were present on the spot but chose not to act. People from all over

the country have protested this barbarism and have called for action against

 

the villagers who mobbed the animal. The creature was killed and carried

in a cart with hordes of villagers celebrating its death.
