Some of us love dogs, some of us love cats, some of us love birds and some of us just don’t care. If hurting our best friend makes us go madly apologetic towards them then why not apologize to those few pigs that are made to run off by letting your dogs run on them? Why not apologize to those hundreds of birds who are being shot almost every week just for the passion of the dirty game of hunting? Why not apologize to a dog who comes around your house in anticipation of a bread and we rush them away?
This is not the first time such injustices on animals have happened and it sure won’t be the last time they ever do but is it okay to punish a little, innocent creature for having a fight with your friends. Over the few years, Delhi has opened many NGOs to support animals and have been successful in it. After many requests of having to adopt pets from the roadside not much of an active response has come. Even today, reckless, under-aged drivers tend to run over cows or even squirrels and all we can do is look, feel sorry and maybe update our Facebook status after that! Remember the “Save Tiger” campaign organized by Aircel about how a few tigers were left and how all of us started wearing that badge of ‘Save Tigers’ and roaming about? Even today that campaign is on and wants participation. It wants help to save the tiger! The little creature that comes into this world to explore it but ruthless hunters shoot them for their skin. Delhi Govt. has banned Hunting and Poaching but what about the people doing it, will their mind ever ban it?
Eventually next year another organization will come up like this and we would just feel sorry. Being sorry will not help. One has to stand for the wrong. We, people have our lawyers and courts to fight for our injustices, to stand for the right but what about the animals… they do not have any high court to give them justice or a place in this world where they exist in peace and not in PIECE! So let no campaign or oragnisation wake up the true person in you, let it be the true heart in you that stands for the wrong happening to environment and stop it. Let it be YOU who stands up for this cause of supporting animals and helping one injured animal to live.
Whenever we get hurt or even have a stomach ache, for that matter, we shout and scream in pain and need desperate relief but those animals… they don’t speak like us and we don’t listen like them but whatever pain we see, we can help them because it feels really good to do a good deed like saving a life, try it once, it may not be something as good as a BlackBerry but its equal to chances of getting one.
Give them justice, they might not say it but they do need it.
