CUTE ANIMALS, HOW COULD ONE BE SO CRUEL TO THEM...

Hi friends, have you ever watched Animal Planet or Discovery channels? What do you mostly like to see in those documentaries? Animals? Have you ever noticed how they look like? Don’t you feel they seem so cute even if they are wild beasts as per our definitions?

Recently I have come across some news of killing of leopards and elephants by the villagers when they entered the village. What was their fault? Only that they had no sufficient place left to live in and not enough food to eat.

I was wondering that how humans can be so cruel to animals. People not only kill or misbehave wild animals, but also I have seen some people neglecting their pets. Animals are cute and are made to be loved, not for such cruel and neglected behavior. We never try to understand that animals too have got feelings. They are innocent. We don’t even feel that when we misbehave animals, their feelings also get hurt. Many examples can be seen in our surroundings where people throw away their pets, especially DOGS, when they grow old, simply because an old dog cannot guard as the young one do. Such people treat animals for their personal benefits only, either for money making or for safety.  Many animals are killed for different purposes. Beautiful, harmless little creature like SQUIRRELS are killed for making brushes from their hair. Many RABBITS lose their lives for the manufacturing of shampoo. ELEPHANTS are killed for their teeth and TIGERS, LEOPARDS etc for their skin. They are sold in the black market for a very high price.  We all are aware that how brutally animals are treated in circus and for what…? Just for entertainment, they are deprived of their natural habitat, far from their family. Can’t we feel ourselves how they feel at such moments?

Just take a while to sit quietly among the nature, feel the rhythm of flowing water, chirping birds…and the song which only your heart can hear…feel only once the soft and warm touch of your non-demanding friends, hold them in your arms, let them lick your face and then with closed eyes and your hands on your heart, think honestly-CAN YOU REALLY LIVE WITHOUT THEM?
