 Front Page News Item:

'ANIMAL SON' GETS LIFER FOR RAPING MOM
DC CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI, OCT, 25


A youth, who was acquitted by a city court for the offence of murdering his father and had raped his mother following his release from jail, was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment by a city court after observing that he tried to "obliterate the line between a man and an animal".

Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) XXX, while awarding life imprisonment to YYY, said he doesn't deserve leniency as the offence committed by the convict is the "gravest immoral act" any human being can commit.

"Abominable offence committed by the accused (YYY) is the gravest immoral act and accused deserves no leniency as he has tried to obliterate the line between a man and an animal," the judge said.

 Dear Sir:

This is with reference to the front page news item quoted above from your esteemed newspaper.

The news item is utterly revolting and I am astounded, agitated, flummoxed, bowled, confused and dumbfounded by the above-quoted pronouncement of the said judge XXX in his references to the animal kingdom.

Murder and rape (of the single, serial, and mass variety) are virtues of the human kingdom along with such other trivia as corruption, money-laundering, intrigue, double-dealing and democracy.

They are unknown to the animal kingdom:

To the best of my knowledge, there has been no recorded instance of a judge in the animal kingdom (ZZZ)  obtusely convicting an animal (any animal, say, AAA) for murdering father and raping mother and for trying to obliterate the line between an animal and man.

Killing and mating are very much there in the animal kingdom...but they are quick, kind and needful....but not murder and rape.

I am sure your learned Correspondent has either misquoted the honorable judge (XXX) or quoted him out of context or the printer was in a hurry and made some copy-paste error.

In which case please trash this letter...which anyway will never see the light of the DC LTTE.
