"We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words." - Anna Sewell
In all our scriptures, whether they belong to Hinduism, Islam or Christianity, it is said that MAN was created after all the other creatures to protect them and care for them.
We ardently follow all other things said in these scriptures, don't we? Then why miss out on only this? More than half of the world population is non-vegetarian. We kill animals and eat - can't we find anything else in the vegetarian category to compensate for the nourishment or the "joy" that we receive from these non-vegetarian foods?
We kill insects and bugs for absolutely no reason except that they came in our way. Why can't we simply push them away instead of squishing them and ending their lives? Stray dogs are being killed because they are becoming a menace. Why can't we sterilize them and leave them to lead their own lives peacefully? Animals like tigers, lions, elephants,deer,.... are being poached everyday. No law is able to curb these poachers efficiently. And what is their fault....just their beauty???
Imagine someone doing that to us!!! Imagine some superior hand simply squishing us to death for no fault of ours. Imagine being killed because we are beautiful. The loss that we feel when a dear one is gone forever!!! They feel the same...they just can't tell us that in our language...they say it in their own mute language. They being the "inferior" beings cannot understand our language. But can't we, the "superior" beings (with all the abilities that we have), atleast attempt to understand theirs?
Why can't we leave those poor creatures to lead their lives as per their will? Why do we have to destroy our nature?God has bestowed us with abilities and powers that no other creature on earth has been privileged with. We could surely put these to better use by caring for the creatures around us, or in the least not bothering them.
WE ARE BORN AS HUMANS...LETS SHOW SOME HUMANITY
