Desmond in the NYT
Desmond Thors, 8-years-old, and a member of The Church of the Epiphany, is now a published author! On December 31, 2023, he was published in The New York Times for Kids. “Reporters...talked to hundreds of young people around the country…to hear their opinions.”
Desmond was one of those with an opinion and his article was chosen.
People should should not kill any animal for fun even if they are dangerous. This is why I sometimes chant, “Hey hey, ho ho , poaching lions has got to go!” by the flagpole at school. If a lion is old and dies, that’s one thing, but someone killing a lion is sad and scary. Every lion has a right to live their life. Maybe that lion was somebody’s best friend!
We couldn’t agree more, Desmond!
