Bab Clinton, Thanks for doing a great job for the wild animals this Christmas.
Obviously your attempts last Christmas did pay off and none of our Goan villages have put any animals in their crib displays this Christmas. So keep up the good work. Alas the only wild life we see nowadays in Goa are these very displays like the python that was put on display last year in the crib in Cansaulim. The fact is that leave alone snakes, it is difficult to come across any frogs left in Goa, as the only jungles flourishing here are the concrete jungles that are sprouting and expanding at a rapid pace. Now that you do not have to save any wild animals on display this Christmas, how about then putting up a hotline number for protecting the Goan environment and our flora and fauna so that our wild animals and Goans can live together in peace and harmony as they have always done over the centuries for generations? Now isn't that a difficult one Bab Clinton, as we have some even more dangerous species as you are well aware of - many serpents of the human variety, as well as wolves in sheep's clothing in Goa starting with our corrupt, vile and dangerous politicans and their coterie of hyenas and vultures be it in the TCP, Panchayats, Police, and even your Forest Department; and the so called mining magnates, developers and builders who are ready to destroy our Goan villages, forests, hills, coastal areas, lakes, ponds, fields, khazan lands, orchard lands, wells - all for the sole purpose of quenching their insatiable greed. These are the most dangerous species that we have to deal with and really need to be exposed, dug out from their lairs and infamous dens and then either caged, erradicated or put away so that they do not cause any further harm. If we allow our environment to be destroyed then there will be no place left for our wild animals nor our Goans in Goa. Soon our wild animals and Goans will be extinct species in Goa. There will be no more wild animals for you to protect. Ready to expand the scope of your work Bab Clinton so that we can in turn save the habitat for our wild animals or do we just try and protect the very rare python that we see in a Christmas crib and in turn put it in a cage in a zoo or hand it over to teh Forest Department to release it in our fast disappearing wildlife reserves?
