There has been damage to the gardens, and the canteen and multipurpose room have been broken into on several occasions, with equipment wrecked or stolen. The school has good reason to suspect local teenagers, but the police have not been able to catch them ‘in the act’.
How can this problem be overcome?

Stop animal cruelty- bears
With bear numbers declining, there needs to be a law to stop it. There are many reasons for this: India's dancing bears, bears baiting and the making of Chinese medicine. If all of these continue there will probably be only a few left in the wild.
India's dancing bears
When tiny sloth bears are taken from the wild the Bear's mother is killed an the bear will never see the wild again. Squished in their tiny cages he bears begin their journey to Kalander village. Most of them never make it, dying from disease in the cages. And when the ones that survived get there the bears go through a lot of pain. The bears have pegs shoved in their paws and feet. Then ropes are attached to the pegs to create a 'living puppet '. Then the bears teeth are taken out to be sold as lucky charms. Out of all of the 1,200 bears that go through this, not one of them has lived past 8.
Bear baiting
Bear baiting is when a defenseless bear is attacked and killed by two dogs. A bear needs to defend itself, it also eat and drink too. In fact it's just like most creatures that have become extinct because they where hunted by humans. This needs to be stopped with law.
The making of Chinese medicine
Do you know what goes in Chinese medicine? Bile comes from bears in small cages in China. After entering the cage the bear can't move for years. So it needs to b stopped. I think that all of these things need to be banned and enforcement. India's dancing bears, bear baiting and the making of Chinese medicine are all cruelty to bears. If all of these are cruelty bears, so stop animal cruelty!
