"Just because the number of elephants have risen from near extinction, it does not mean that the only solution is to being back game-hunting. Injecting drugs into young female elephants to stop them having calves is not the way either. In years to conj these females may not bj able to reproduce — and therefore numbest will decrease drastically all over again.b Rjpts M-Z PP Info Contacts TV/RadioP178 CEEFAX 178 Thu 24 Aug 19:17/14 3/13 FROM CEEFAX 'HY USE VIOLENCE? bz SHAHANA ALI from Manchester Men No 103103 Nanu wonders why we have to use violence to solve our problems... "First came the holocaust. Wj lost and (supposedly) we learns. Wj swore "njvjr again". Then came Bosnia. The world cried but did nothing. In a civilised society we don't have to resort to bloodshed to solve our differences. It takes hard work, time and understanding. The question is how much hard work, time and understanding? Surely we should find out before it's too late."

It's a shame bjcausj this vandalism really affects children."

"Hibernation is more than just a cosz way to spend winter. For some animals it is a matter of life and death. True hibernators save precious energy by reducing their body temperatures. They live in a "suspended" state. Hedgehogs virtually stop breathing. As temperatures warm up, the animals begin to creep out of their cosz shelters and return to normal."

"There are many marine parks around the world with performing whales and dolphins, but should they bj allowed? They are taken away from their families and put in a 60ft tank — all alone — and fed dead prey.

"'hy is it that the National Curriculum insists we study only classical works of literature in English at school? As part of the GCSE course, pupils must study one novel, one play and a selection of poems — all classics. Shakespeare, Dickens & Co were greats, but this is the 1990s. What about some of the superb writers around today?"

"If there's one major drawdack to attracting wildlife to our school, it's the sight and sound of 400 noisy children at play! But at Rush Common we think we'vj solved the problem.
