A burning string of firecrackers was attached to the left leg of a 6-month old, in my vicinity.
The baby wailed, in anger, in pain, in fear.
But nobody came to help.
The traffic was not heavy that day, but in the mood of entertainment a group of youngsters
rode their jeep over a one year old, causing fatal injuries to the victim.
The little one, kept on weeping, in pain, in fear.
But nobody came to help.
Stones were thrown at a mother, just for the reason that she was trying to find some food for her babies.
She let out a cry full of pain,
But nobody came to help.
Did these incidents cause a prick in your heart?
Do you think, if you would have been there, you would have helped them?
Now, let me tell you, that one year old, the 6-month old baby, the mother, they weren’t humans.
They were some creatures who couldn’t speak like us, who did not acquire knowledge like us.
They were those who are considered to be some living specimens who are in no comparison to the human species.
They were animals.
They were the ones, who have their eyes full of fear and a heart full of love.
Now, let me ask you again... Do you think, if you would have been there, you would have helped them?
“In five years,19,028 animal cruelty cases were recorded. But there were no arrests or convictions, data compiled by the Bombay Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BSPCA) revealed. The victims: dogs, cats, birds, goats, horses, bullocks, fowl and cattle.”
“Ryan Rodrics left his healthy, happy seven-year-old German Shepherd, Heiley, at a pet centre in Virar .When he returned, Heiley was a traumatised and seriously ill animal.
Rodrics frantically drove through traffic to a veterinary clinic, with Heiley howling in the backseat, her private parts smeared with blood.
Heiley died before they reached.”
“16 April, 2018: Two stray dogs werebeatenby the locals. The two canines could not even sit up after the attack.”
“In the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, a man in an inebriated state poured acid on five new born puppies and their mother.”
Is this what we exist for?
We dramatize over social media, about how we have our rights, about how we have the freedom to say what we want, we don’t want nobody to question the way we are.
And here on the other hand, we have such people, such negative people who have insanity spread all over their mind.
Their lives are equally important as ours.
They aren’t a symbol of status, which would depict your money power in the society.
They are voiceless, but so full of heart that humans cannot even be compared anymore to them.
Take a step, maybe a small one, help whenever you see they are in need of it.
They matter as much as we do.
