Animal Rights - Be aware of them.

“panjaradoLu nookabahudu giLiyanu….
nUki suridarEnu rAshi kALanu….
tinnuvudoMdE guriye bALige….?
adara bALu baliye namma lIlege!!”

- N S Lakshminarayana Bhatta
(meaning : We cage and feed a parrot stomach-full. Is that all its purpose, eating stomach-full? Its life is ruined for our happiness)!!

“The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon.”

- Angelina Jolie
(Can we stay an hour in a cage? Ask a criminal in jail)!!

“Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.”

- Jack Handy
(Anything explains better?)


“Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.”

- Anatole France
(We need to get that Animals are a part of God's own creation, just like us)

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”

- Mahatma Gandhi
(Greatest quotation from a great man)


Now….. You might ask me ‘WHY this post’.
Because, I came across the following today morning.



I was just thinking what purpose are these snakes served, their jaws are snatches, they are made puppets, raise hoods when the master(ess) wants, and withdraw when they don’t want!! I strongly oppose using animals for our purpose. It becomes everyone’s responsibility to educate these snake charmers about the animal rights and provide them a rehabilitation that will call them to stop harming the animal.

“Animal-rights advocates remind us of this admonition: The ways in which people treat animals will be reflected in how people relate to one another.”
- William Greider

Obviously from the single celled amoeba to the great blue whale, all the animals should live, the world was not created as one set of animals alone ( read as mankind).

cheers

Khud jiyo, auron ko bhi jeene do...yehi to hai ye jindagi ka waasta, tumhe aman aur shanti ka waasta..
these are the lines of a song we used to sing in school.
