Suffering of animals

(This is a letter to Prince William) . We have come to know that during your recent trip to Kenya you killed an animal with a spear. This news has made us very sad. You are a role model to young people everywhere and inflicting pain and violence on an animal senda a wrong message. According to the law of Karma when one inflicts pain and suffering on other living beings who are at our mercy one builds up negative Karma which brings  misery and unhappiness. For our own happiness we have to be compassionate to others. We request you not to participate in such activities that cause suffering to animals. Indeed we would like you to support initiatives to reduce the exploitation of animals by mankind.
