Request for raising voice against cruelty to animals

[Guest guest]

Dear Shri Dhiman,

The problem of Monkeys straying out in urban areas is created by humanbeings.We

have encroached upon Forests thus denying the right of food and

protection(habitat) to wildlife and also monkeys.These represent wildlife and

their proper place is forests.

 

The monkeys throng the urban areas and start eating cooked food like

breads,roasted gram,chapattis and fastfood thrown by humanbeings.This not only

change the habit of simians but also make them dependent upon human beings.There

is human animal conflict resulting into incidences of Bitings and in result

cruelty upon these creatures or vice versa.

 

We should ask the Govt. to rehabilitate these animals and should not insist upon

feeding the wrong food to these animals.It has happened in Himachal pradesh

where Monkeys have left the forests and throng the Highways for want of food

from Tourists.Many accidents take place where humanlives,property and life of

the Monkeys are lost.

People should not provide them food in public places but at specified places or

in shelters/rescue centres as per advice of experts.

I hope you will agree with me.

regards,

Dr.Sandeep K.Jain

President,People For Animals Ludhiana

Ex-Member,Animal Welfare Board of India.

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

There are bad times ahead for the helpless animals.

 

Sometimes back, there was a news item in the papers that the Ministry of

Environment and Forests submitted to the Supreme Court that in order to

check the monkey “menace” in Delhi, they will pass an Act to make feeding

of monkeys a crime (Please see newspapers of 18/3/2005). Ironically, they

are the people, one of whose duty is to look after the welfare of

animals.

 

Now the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has gone one step further. As

per a news item published in the Hindustan Times and other papers of

3/5/2005, the NDMC challaned a family for committing the “offence” of

feeding monkeys and made them to appear before a Magistrate.

 

For the last several years, the NDMC and other authorities in Delhi have

gradually destroyed the habitat of animals, birds and wildlife in the name

of “development” and “beautification” of the city. The result is that

animals in Delhi have been left with hardly any place to live and almost

nothing to eat and drink. Now the NDMC want to starve them to a slow,

agonizing death.

 

What Ministry of Environment and Forests land NDMC are doing may be a

trend setter. Soon many more authorities may take cruel measures against

animals. Today it is monkeys. Tomorrow it will be cows, dogs and birds.

 

The most frightening thing is that the actions of these bodies will

create an atmosphere against the animals and will instigate the people to

be cruel to them.

 

As we all know, it is not enough to be kind to the animals. It is also

important to stop others from being cruel to them, especially if the

perpetrator of cruelty is a Government agency.

 

Kindly raise your voice against what is being done by the NDMC and

Ministry of Environment Forests (and may be done by other authorities in

the near future). You may like to write to them, telling them that they

should not make an already miserable life of animals more miserable. If

they can’t help taking harsh measures against monkeys (and other animals),

they should first take measures for the restoration of their habitat.
