Dear Sir, At the turn of the 19th century our country had 40,000 tigers, I do not how many elephants, rhinos, deer, antelope and snake varieties abounded our forests. We had the most fantastic wealth of wild life, what do we have now? Nothing. And, what little is left in our reserves and zoos is fast vanishing. It does not need to be said that a man looses what he does not care for. We do not care for our forests and the wealth in them. We are bound by irrevelant and obsolete notions that do not hold good. Or else why is a beast as magnificent as the elephant allowed for purposes of begging on crowded streets. Why is someone not hanged for killing as valuable an animal as the tiger? I wonder if the very question of us caring for our wild life has any relevance, because our leaders only address irrelevant subjects, like Mandirs, Masjids, songs, etc.
