Animal traders attacked ProFauna

[Guest guest]

Dear Rosek,

 

Your people were attacked, since you have the bad guys scared that their

livelihoods are threatened by Pro Fauna's good work.

 

But that doesn't mean you're not doing the RIGHT THING by protecting

Indonesia's wildlife and environment by short-sighted greed of too many

selfish people.

 

Keep up the good work and let everyone know you have much support and

admirers for the difficult, challenging work you're doing.

 

As they say here in the mountains of North Georgia (USA): Bless your heart!

 

Love, Jane
