Dear Jazz
Many thanks for your letter and for the photographs. They brought back very happy
memories of our holiday. Indeed the time spent with you has ended up being one of
the best I have had so far. The expedition to Rohtang, long drives in the river beds
and valleys in Leh monasteries –all seem to be out of the world. India is as fascinating
as or more than I had expected. Your lively company just proved to be the icing on
the cake.
I’m glad that your school is going on well. It must have been difficult , I guess ,after
holidays to come back to the rut of school routine. Anyway, that too is very
important, isn't it?
Do let me know when you are planning to visit us. I talk so much about you that
people in my family are dying to see you. What joy it would be to see you, to have you
amongst us.
Your loving friend
Rosette

ANIMALS’ CRY FOR HELP
Man is perhaps the only animal who ill-treats and even kills other animals for his
pleasure. He destroys their natural habitats and ruthlessly kills animals for their skin,
bones and meat, although he is not a meat-eater by nature and holds life sacred.
Did you know that countless animals and birds are killed, mutilated or decapitated in
the name of scientific experiments, testing and research? Rats, rabbits, birds and
monkeys are not only kept in cramped and over-crowded cages but also subjected to
ruthless treatment in a cold-blooded way in laboratories.The poor silent souls cannot
even express the pin and suffering they are subjected to. Most of them die premature,
painful and unnatural deaths.
Circuses, zoo, road shows, cattle and bird markets are also death traps for these hapless
creatures. Monkeys, bears and parrots are ill-treated by circus people and roadside
showmen to make money by showing their tricks and antics. Bulls, horse, mules, camels
and donkeys are made to carry heavy loads.
Children can play an important role in stopping this cruelty to animals.They must join
hands to create world wide awareness for the ethical and humane treatment of animals.
They can join protests and rallies against animal testing and launch signature
campaigns for this purpose. Also, they must refuse to buy animal products or products
which have been tested on animals.They should adopt animals as pets and support
animal and environment conservation programmes.
Children of the world, animals and birds cry for your help.They cannot survive without
your support.
