It’s cruel to put animals on show
I WOULD like to ask people not to patronise places where live animals, exotic or otherwise are in a stressful situation and put “on show.”
This is because such kinds of shows are to the detriment of both animals and humans alike.
It is cruelty to the animals and it is not educational.
You are giving your children and each other the wrong message and wrong values.
It is just not right to hold this type of show and inflict this kind of stress on any animal, reptile or otherwise.
It is also extremely sad that a human being in his or her greed can be so insensitive to the feelings of animals. A percentage of society are immune to the feelings of “others” and there are those who for their own selfish reasons don't care.
It is time the Government became honest and accountable for what is happening to our country's wildlife and domestic animal society.
This letter, pertaining to a macaque chained to a steel bar and a monitor lizard of sorts in a tiny cage, is meant for any such situation.
From the abuse of nature, the oceans, the rainforests, man is getting immediate monetary gain, but it is short term.
His grandchildren and great grandchildren are going to suffer.
We need the oceans and the rainforests to survive.
And they will never know the beauty and the wonderland of nature lost to them.
CYNTHIA,
Selangor.
