Sad comment on a selfish society

I WAS disgusted by the magistrates imposition of fines and hefty court costs on Sarah Whitehead and Denise Friend (Herald, January 31).

This was for failing to obtain a permit to hold a stall to collect money for the animal rights cause.

These selfless people were intent only on helping defenceless animals. What a sad comment on our selfish, uncaring society.
