Re:Delhi protests Bangalore culling of strays, 10 Mar. article

[Guest guest]

As one of the many who love animals, I have found the past few days traumatic,

not merely because of the terrible news, but because when we tried to rally

support in the form of signatures, we were appalled at the number of " nice,

educated people " who refused outright to support the protest and stated

categorically that they didn't care as long as the strays were removed...these

are people who, on a day-to-day basis support our animal welfare activities by

lending their time or talents, even by donating money.

 

What it means, in effect, is that somewhere we have failed. And now, we who wish

to protect animals can NEVER afford to let our guard down, to let a situation

get out of control, to ignore the signs of conflict between man and animal - the

price, as we have discovered, is way too high.

 

We need to work harder, rally more support, educate people much more

effectively, and stick together! That's the only way to help our animals.
