Animal torture justifies anger
To the Editor:
Your article on Anthony Marr (“Chinese activist fearless”, Jan. 21) was an eye-opener. Now I realize why those who struggle for ethical treatment of animals are so vehemently angry.
To think there are “humans” in the world (Seoul) who would cage a bear and lower it onto hot coals to cook its paws while it was alive should frighten us all! And this torture is to make a bowl of bear paw soup. It is barbaric.
A boycott of products from these bear-torturing nations is called for, plus support for Marr in his efforts.
Mrs. V. Kennedy,
Vancouver
In 1996, Anthony Marr conducted "the highest profile animal advocacy campaign in Canada" (Globe and Mail), including an anti-hunting road tour throughout British Columbia covering 50 cities in 60 days, where he was confronted by up to 120 hunters at a time over 40 times, chased on highways and physically assaulted. This blog-series presents his field journal verbatim, and more.
