Bindi Irwin 'frustrated' over Hillary Clinton office article revision

Bindi Irwin 'frustrated' over Hillary Clinton office article revision

WILDLIFE warrior Bindi Irwin has spoken of her devastation after an article she was asked to write for US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was scrapped.

The 14-year-old wildlife campaigner said she was "saddened" and "frustrated" after being forced to withdraw a 1000-word essay she wrote on the overpopulation of the planet for Secretary Clinton's e-journal.

After spending hours of "school time" writing the piece for the Go Wild - Coming Together for Conservation edition last month, it was drastically edited before Bindi withdrew it in protest.

"When I got the essay back after they edited it, it was completely different. I hadn't said anything they had put in ... my words were twisted and altered and changed. I was a little bit shocked to tell you the truth," she said.
