Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Dear Mr. Hooper, I would like to add my voice to the many who protest the planned massacre of more than 30.000 stray dogs in Delhi. The example set by Athens (for the last Olympic Games) and now Beijing (for the upcoming Olympic Games) seems to infest every locality with larger cultural and sports events coming up with the same unholy virus: the apparent " need " to clean up one's image by mass murdering the resident stray animals. This is to be condemned ! Such rash and inhumane actions do not solve the underlying problem and shed an extremely negative light on such a civilzed endaveaour as are the Commonwealth Games. To be civilized and cultured is a different thing altogether ... I cannot see how the cruel extermination of tens of thousands of animals will improve Delhi's image. Not once has the presence of such unhappy creatures on the verge of Human existence been responsible for the projected bad image of places such as Delhi, Beijing, Athens and countless more. Human filth and Human overpopulation is the root of all the evils we face today ... the imminent environmental collapse we are witness to every day, is a thing brought upon man by man. The animals share in a curse they did not bring upon us or themselves. That in itself should give us food for thought and incentive for action. But apparently all it does is inspire us with even more cruelty and wanton mass murder among the most helpless and innocent co-inhabitants of this world. Are the Commonwealth Games too to be stained with their blood ? Your organisation, as the organizers of this event, have the power to prevent it. Please use it by addressing the Indian government and Delhi administration, expressing your outspoken condemnation of the planned stray animal slaughter. Ask them to look for another, more humane solution. Thank you. Sincerely, Diana Hartig with the German Animal Welfare Party Finkenweg 8 D-71720 Oberstenfeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
