Don’t rescue and then neglect


Picture of a dead baby langur, which died on the morning of the April 1 press conference at Perhilitans Headquarters in Cheras. It was one of the 10 which were seized by Perhilitan on March 27. - VINCENT TAN/The Star

I REFER to “Saved but left to die” (The Star, May 20).

First, as a conservationist, I would like to congratulate the authors on the ‘expose’ on the state of wildlife confiscated by Perhilitan. It was well researched and explained. It brought to light what most conservation NGOs already suspected.
