...kept as pets in the U.S. What an indictment! It is little consolation that they are at least alive, however miserably, and not being worn as fur coats. Jan Schaafsma Betty's Bay, South Africa Big cats and other wild species are called predators, while man is politely referred to as just a primate. Judging from the meat consumption at our local butcher shop in a suburb of Delhi, I estimate that we humans slaughter more than 1 million chickens a day (a conservative estimate).

In Vietnam, where 95% of the vehicles on the road are motorcycles, helmets are mandatory. Yet only 3% of riders wear them, according to the WHO. Riders contemptuously refer to helmets as "rice cookers," too uncomfortable to wear in the country's steamy weather...
