Dear Editor,
Hunting and killing of animals has now become a hobby. While murdering humans is a crime, killing and wiping out an entire genre of animals is hardly given consideration. This because hunting has become a tradition and is supported by the powerful. Moreover, there is no strict legislation to ban hunting. The protection of animals Act only covers captive and domestic animals.
Humans belong to the same family tree as other mammals. Our physiology and bodily processes are just like them. Our mental processes too are from the same general pattern. We must bestow proper care and security to the animals to stop them from being extinct.
