Summary:* Since the Torah mandates the avoidance of tsa'ar ba'alei haim - causing unnecessary pain to animals - shouldn't there be far greater concern about the horrible treatment of animals (10 billion annually in the US alone) on factory farms? Sir, - I read with disgust the remarks by Iran's president regarding Israel and her birthday ("Ahmadinejad: Israel is 'stinking corpse,'" May 9). Sir, - All high-rise buildings in Israel in excess of nine floors are automatically not fitted with solar heating systems. With the huge increase in high-rise buildings in recent years, it would be very prudent to overcome this major drawback so that we can return to enhancing solar energy and be able to take advantage of this new energy idea ("Solar power companies hail new 'household' energy plan," June 5).
