Niman for pasturing the animals to provide all the beef, turkey, chicken and pork eaten in this country? There is little that is less polluting and less harmful to the planet than hunting wild game responsibly. Can anyone in good conscience be complicit with the unnecessary suffering and slaughter of another sentient being?

With the proposed hunting seasons on sandhill cranes being discussed in Tennessee, Kentucky and Wisconsin, we must not forget the whooping crane, which travels and winters in the big sandhill crane flocks. More states will doubtless join the queue of those proposing hunts. It flies on. Not when we have but 400 to spare.

To the Editor: Re “ Suddenly, the Hunt Is On for Cage-Free Eggs ” (front page, Aug. 12): While this is a step in the right direction toward reducing the animal abuse inherent in all factory farming (from the chicken’s point of view), it’s still a long way from what nature intended.
