Sir, – A cat is supposedly shot in a sickeningly realistic drama that people "love" to watch, Love/Hate, and the country is "shocked".
It is ironic and understandable that animal rights groups (plus many others) are up in arms over this scene, yet if it had been a human being murdered the civil rights groups (and many others) would have been silent.
Pretentious dramas are not real, but what is terrifyingly obvious is our wounded perception of the value of life. – Yours, etc,
