Well, every one of us has come across animals. Be it a dog, a lizard or a tiger. Many of us have pets too. And I really want a pet! Many people have a wish to own a pet. Why? Because a pet completes a family. They bring a sense of protection and support. They give you emotional support and love. Not the "can't-stay-without-you" love; but the real caring love that comes from the heart. Once you have a pet like this, keep it close and never let it go. It is the only real friend you will ever get. So, don't forget to give the love back.

But in spite of all these things, humans have been cruel to animals. Animals fulfill all your needs: food, raw material for fabrics and even for illegal reasons- their body parts for ornaments. We kill them for our own needs and greed. What do you return back? Nothing. I have heard so many reports and news of humans killing animals in the most brutal way possible. I am heartbroken every time I hear and see something like this. The people who do this for fun are much much more worse. I think- they have a heart or not?

Puppy being burnt alive, fruits being laden with crackers and fed to wild boars (apparently to elephant too), cows' legs being ironed and so much more. When I posted stories about the elephant incident, people said that the fruit was for the wild boar so that it doesn't destroy the crops, I thought- yeah, that is even better, right? NO! No living being deserves to die like this; whatever reason it may be. It is just so pathetic to end their lives like this! We are the ones who displaced them from their home- the forest- and keep them locked in cages. We are the ones who use them for our own selfish reasons. Then why don't they punish us? They should, in my opinion. But they do not. They probably have a better heart than us.

I hope you will think about this, won't you? And do whatever you can do to spread awareness.

Love,
