Subject: Poaching and its Grave Repercussions
Dear Sir:
I writing to your good self to express my deep concern over the problem of poaching and its repercussions on our wild life. Recently a tiger was found killed in the sanctuary near the city. It appears man is the most dangerous animal that has ever lived on planet. The innocent animals in the forests have been dragged to the verge of extinction. Any animal that comes within the range of his greedy perception, is gone forever. The fur animals such as foxes, minks, rabbits, wolves, cats, beavers, tigers, leopards, and many more, man hunts all of them for trading their furs in return for money! He forgets that these animals are an integral part of the ecological system.
According to Wildlife Protection Society of India 21 elephants, 24 rhinos, 50 tigers, 154 leopards were killed for poaching in 2016. The number of wild animals’ death was higher if other causes were also included. This number is quite alarming keeping in view the meager number of these endangered species left in our country.
Foolish poachers don’t know the environmental and ecological ramifications of killing these innocent animals. Reduction of a species might lead to irreparable damage to the ecological system of an area. For example, if elephant population were reduced to nothing, it might lead to no distribution of plant seeds that might further affect vegetation of the area. Similarly a drop in the population of a predator animal might lead to increased number of herbivores that can adversely affect the vegetation of the area. Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I appeal to the Environment Ministry and other concerned departments to put an immediate stop to poaching.
There must be strict action against poaching of animals for furs, skins and accessories made of animal skins and bones! The concerned Government ministry in collaboration with Animal Rights Activists must also work proactively to save animals, our partners in existence! If needed, endangered animals protection task forces must be formed. Commandos having all the high-tech-equipment and weapons should be deployed in reserves and sanctuaries.
I am hopeful you will give space to my views in your reputed paper for the noble cause. Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Kamlesh

Respected sir,
It is with great shock that I write this. I read with great grief that poachers had killed a one-horned Rhino in Assam. The number of one-horned rhinos is decreasing and it is said that this is mainly due to the callous and selfish attitude of people towards animals at large.
They trade these animals in the international market for their horns and nails. It is a shame that we are unable to protect these very rare species of animals.
It is high time that the Government take very strong action and bring these poachers to book. This inhuman activity has to stop and the endangered species of animals should be protected by all means. I wish this insensible killing would stop at the earliest.
Thanking you,
Yours truly
Kavitha
