Hundreds of Indian cormorants, which had been nestling in a tree in front of the Alappuzha south police station, were left without a shelter when municipal workers chopped off branches of the tree two weeks ago. The chicks were thrown out of the nests and died as a result. Any act of cruelty to animals, birds or trees is akin to cruelty to our kith and kin. The municipal authority, which issued the order to prune the tree, must be an association of heartless men. The officials and the workers deserve no pardon.
