Dear Pankaj, It is a good initiative you have taken. As per your request I have signed the petition at "'Asomiyat Kotha-botora'. I am afraid I might have not followed the correct procedure. Pls find attached the text.
On the subject of the rejection of the Bidyut's film, together with Satyajit we submitted a petition to the responsible Minister in India. Stayajit also took the responsibility of collection of the petitions and submission of the petition. If you want you may contact him for guidance. Greetings, Wahid da From: Pankaj Barah [mailto:pankajbo...@gmail.com] Sent: zondag 23 maart 2014 16:56 To: friendsofassa...@yahoogroups.com; assam@assamnet.org; supportachild-assam Cc: Barua Rajen; Wahid Saleh Subject: Petition against dehorning rhinos in Assam Dear all, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wild-Life), Assam, Assam Forest Department is proposing an experiential project to dehorn the rhinos in Assam as conservation measure. They are asking public opinion on or before 30th of March 2014 in this regard. The opinions can be send to <pccf.wl.as...@gmail.com> by email or to "Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wild-Life), Assam, Assam Forest Department, Basistha, Guwahati-29, Assam" by post. We believe that trimming the horns of rhinoceros can not stop illegal poaching of rhinoceros. It may have negative impact on rhino's normal physiology, or psychological status. We, strongly oppose the proposal of doing experiments by dehorning rhinoceros as a conservatory measure. 'Asomiyat Kotha-botora' a facebook group consisted of more than 15000 members across the globe is preparing an online petition opposing this unethical proposal by the PCCF, Assam. I request you all to sign this petition with your short comments and contact address by clicking the following URL. Copy of this petition will also be sent to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India, World Wildlife Fund, Ministry of Environment & Forests, India and United Nations Environment Programme etc. https://www.change.org/petitions/principal-chief-conservator-of-forests-wild -life-assam-don-t-trim-horns-of-rhinoceros We would also appreciate if someone living in USA (FASS officials) comes forward to help us to send this letter with all collected signatures to the World Wildlife Fund, 1250 24th Street, N.W. Washington, DC 20037.
