The other day we went to this mini-theatre by accident and found that it was screening short-films on wildlife. One of them was on man-animal conflict - leopards straying into human 'territory' in North India. It was going on expected lines, with people chasing the animal out. From past experience, I know it's a touchy subject with the kids and I was on guard, trying to explain both sides to Anu but I knew she was getting agitated. Finally, the beating of the leopard started and Anu went wild, shouting through her tears, "Ask them to stop it! Oh, that leopard should kill them all!" Half the theatre turned towards her and the lady next to me patted her back with an understanding smile.
