Guest guest Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 15.12.2005 To, The Editor, HT. Sub.:-- Hanging of a cow by protesters in Hong Kong. Ref. :-- HT picture newswitem titled “Are the animal rights activists watching this ?” dated 15.12.2005, page 13. Dear Editor, It was shocking to see the picture of cow being hung from it’s hind legs by a pair of scales by South Korean, Filipino and Indonesian protesters to vent their ire symbolically at the WTO conference, against the rich nations’ excessive spending of subsidies on their own agriculture. Did they find no other way of putting forth their protest, like sloganeering, display of banners and placards etc, than hanging a poor cow from it’s hind legs ? This act deserves condemnation in strongest of terms. One wonders if this uncomplaining and unfortunate creature survived the insult, humiliation and the trauma at the end of the day. Thank you.
