those who are involved in illegal trading of this endangered species and poaching for meat purposes. People who indulge in such illegal activities should be punished so that it will be a lesson for others. The authorities should take strict action against destroying nature.

Animals are not slaves of humans and should never be illtreated.

It is important that such endangered species are safeguarded with the help of tagging devices. It is also possible that nature is affecting them adversely.

I thank Muscat Daily for publishing such informative reports that help spread awareness among people and understand the value of animals like the Arabian tahr.
