Misplaced sympathy

Re: “Tycoon in crosshairs”, (PostBag, March 20).

Somsak Pola seems to be oblivious to the general public’s anger over the recent killing and eating of an endangered leopard, allegedly by a rich tycoon and his cohorts. Mr Somsak asks us not to get upset if the accused only gets a slap on the wrist for all the charges the group may face.

Perhaps Mr Somsak would like to give us a declaration that he is not in any way connected with anyone in said group with whom he apparently sympathises, and that being slapped with only trivial offences is an appropriate outcome.
