THE LETTER

I found this letter standing out in waste paper basket, curious me picked it up and read it. Shaken was I, I did not  have any words. I quietly walked back to my lab and sat in silence.

The Letter goes like this:

Dear Human,

Imagine that, little by little, your home was taken away from you. The forests and mountains where you once roamed freely disappeared, replaced by by roads and concrete buildings.

What if politicians in suits, someplace far away, decided your fate... decided that you, your family, your friends and your neighbors became a nuisance-- a menace-- to those who had invaded your home.

And so now you must die.

Imagine these politicians rallying for your slaughter... ignoring what science has told them, encouraging citizens to hunt you down and kill you.

Imagine your family under attack. Defenseless, with nowhere left to hide, you must dodge bullets from ground and sky, just to find food for yourself and your young children.

Imagine that in one of these public hunts you watched your child die, shot down.

Then you will know the terror that we animals face everyday.... and why we so desperately need your help.

After all, you and your fellow humans are the only ones who are wrecking our lives apart and can save us too. Our fate is in your hands.

Time is running out...

 

Thank you.
