Animal Lover's Club!!! Appeal to the Kerala Minister

[Guest guest]

Dear Mr. Babu,

If there is a BAN imposed on such 'animal lover's club' by the AWBI, would

it help?

 

Just as the functioning of an organisation requires the recognition of the

board, hence if a BAN is imposed on any group/ club/ organisation which

functions with animal husbandry promoting vested interests etc in disguise

as kindness to animals, then I am sure we can eradicate them from the

society by bad publicity and campaigns.
