KEEP SPEAKING UP FOR ANIMALS

MY PAPER TUESDAY OCTOBER 27, 2009
MY SAY

I REFER to the commentary by Mr Kong Soon Wah, “Buying a fur coat? Watch this video first” (my paper, Oct 19).

On behalf of the animals who cannot thank Mr Kong, thank you so much for asking people to watch the hideous video about China fur farms.

The man who filmed the video had a hard time forgiving himself for not stepping up and doing something, but had he not controlled himself and gone ahead, there would have been no mind-changing video to show.

It took a toll on him, but, as he said, “nothing like the toll taken on the animals”.

We appreciate your compassion very much.

Please keep speaking up for animals.
