Yesterday read a news that said “4 dogs burned alive, 16 poisoned”. I was like, “Wow, is that even possible or legal?”
I’m still trying to find out if I can do that. Anyone? Can I do that as well please?
Can I just burn or poison that guy who was staring at me or rather my boobs? Can I tie that guy and burn alive who touched me inappropriately in the Bus? Can we poison them who molested one of us?
Oh, we have law for rapes, so don’t worry about it.
I guess those dogs would have done something so terrible for this fate, isn’t it? Did they molest a child? Or they must be stalking?
Just in case you want to read this news -
I have never been an Animal Enthusiast. Not earlier and not even today when I own a Pet for 2 years. I would say, knowing them so closely has given a different perspective.
Though I never hated any of them earlier as well.
The way we are/were brought up, we knew that in this Universe we co-exist with all other beings. It is not our creation where only Humans can exist. It is habitat of many many animals, species or whatever zoology calls them.
Then, why suddenly have we become those idiots who think they own this Planet?
In my Society, I see parents giving their Kids scary reasons to stay away from Animals. Ain't we just passing our fears, insecurities to next generations and which will be passed to next and so on? Can't we teach them to be safe and still co-exist?
You don't have to love everyone. That's not possible and that's exhausting. But opposite of love isn't hate or fear.
Learn to Co-Exist
Let's go back to the incidence. Let's imagine someone tied your kids legs and dragging him/her to burn alive. Can you even imagine the feeling of burning alive? Or your neighbor poisoned your Kid because he/she was creating lot of nuisance around? Does it send a chill to your spine? Did you get goosebumps?
Weren't those Dogs as helpless as our Kids?
Did you read a news where a Watchman raped a Bitch for 2-3 days? And remember news about Security guards molesting/raping kids in school?
What is the difference?
Isn't the person doing these to dogs, can do it to a Kid? Isn't someone killing those dogs, can do the same to your family member?
Then, why should they be treated differently by Law?
I agree, there are problems, nuisance caused by these Animals. So, the nuisance is caused by People as well. Is this the route we take? Is this how we agree to do this?
When you see a Dog, remember end of Mahabharata when Pandavas took Sanyaas and went to Himalaya. A dog accompanied Yudhishthira till end of the Journey.
No one can go to heaven alive, but Indra came to take Yudhishthira to heavens in his chariot. But the great King declined saying, he can't leave the dog behind. He will go heaven with him or stay on earth. That dog was his father Dharma/Yama for his last exam, who took his form and told Yudhishthira - "Compassion is the highest Dharma"
I see Compassion above Love.
You decide your preference. If you can't love, at least be compassionate.
Awaken your Soul, don't be Dead !
