Humans hunt, kill, eat and destroy habitat for most living things on this planet.

Now you want to get rid of bats because they impede on your daily walk. There are many other places you can walk.

I would like to think that as people mature, they become more considerate of our fellow life forms.

Every life form in this world craves one thing above all — it’s called love.

Only humans create hatred — hate for one another, hate for animals, hate of their neighbours, even hate for themselves.

Give nature a break. It’s been persecuted for too long. Leave something for future generations.

You too can be positive towards nature and not negative.

Take the time to view the world as a wonderful place, not yours or mine.

How can you say we have more right to a garden than nature?

We share this planet. We don’t own it. We own nothing!

Your letter is focused too much on money and your rights — not the rights of all beings.

I encourage everyone, whatever their age, to help protect all forms of nature before it’s too late.
