Sir, - On a visit to Dublin Zoo some time back I happened upon a most unusual sighting - a mother and child looking at a pair of beautiful snow leopards. What's unusual about that one might ask? Nothing, except the woman was wearing a fur coat. I wondered was she admiring the sheer majesty of these animals or feeling jealous about the coat? Perhaps, she did not even notice the shameful irony. - Yours, etc.,
