Please allow me to share this picture of Stork sanctuary in the city of Houston also known as the space city that I found just beside the Elsik High School on Diary Ashford. This reminded me of the fate of their fellow cousins, popularly known as "Shikar" in front of the Hotel Ruposhi Bangla crossing, Elephant Road crossing and many other palaces of Dhaka, where I was born 52 years ago.
No one would dare to do such a thing here in the United States, as he would end up in jail even if he or she happens to be the child of the most powerful person in the world. It is so sad that the people back at home do not even feel sorry to put to death thousands of birds of different species by way of poisoning in the far flung areas of the country only to eat these poor harmless creatures.
