------------------------------------------------------------------------ * * * * * * * * * ANNUAL GOANETTERS MEET * * * * * * * * * ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goanetters in Goa and visiting meet Jan 6, 2009 at 3.30 pm at Hotel Mandovi (prior to the Goa Sudharop event, which you're also welcome to). Join in for a Dutch dinner -- if we can agree on a venue after the meet. RSVP (confirmations only) 9822122436 or 2409490 or f...@goa-india.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is the situation: The law prevents exploitation of wild animals. Clinton Vaz and his group are active in upholding the law for the benefit of wild life. He complains to the relevant authority. They have done nothing about it for 10 days. Local goonda elements prevent photgraphy of the violations. Before raids take place, the violators are informed. I consider this nothing but shocking. Even the Khapris look after their wildlife better. And we think we are way better than Khapris. Apologies for letting my racial biases surface. India is getting nearer to Khapri-land. Only a matter of time before we outdo Rwanda. Roland.
