Do We Really Show Kindness To Animals?
Today I wanted to write this because day by day animals get harmed by humans. Many people are there to raise their voices against animal cruelty, but is it enough? Let’s do our responsibilities too. Here I am not talking only about pets, animals mean every living being doesn’t matters where they live.
Animal welfare associations, some little groups, and Government teams are there to help animals, but from whom? Only from humans… Our needs like milk, meat, cheese, or more foods, transportation, shoes-bags(leather), rugs, activities like hunting, military needs, or laboratory tests, for this all we use animals. Every animal does not get well-treated like a pet. Wild animals suffer a lot than we think. But some pets also have the same destiny.
As a Sri Lankan, I see both sides. First of all, I would like to tell you that I am a huge fan of animals, I love them so yes I am an animal lover. How can I tell I love animals? because I never want any animal to get harm or killed.
In my country, wild animals get harmed because of humans, and I clearly know that the reason is not the animals just because the population increases. People destroying the forests, build concrete jungles so wild animals lost their own habitats and food, water sources. So animals like wild elephants become kinda violent and the human-elephant conflict starts. Some animals stop breeding. But you know the fault is not in the hand of the public, some leading stupid people who destroy nature for their money are the reason for these situations.
The beautiful side is, in my country, there live some beautiful people who always care for animals wild animals to street animals. So many groups, societies, are there to help injured animals, feed street dogs and cats. Social media groups help animals even sick pets, lost animals, and appropriately guide people to help animals.
Just as a single human how can you be a kind person to the animals?
Love your pet first if you have one, and then love the other people’s pets(does not matter you hate the neighbor but don’t hate for their pets. Animals especially live around us familiar to us, they will always care their master and you should remember that. So when any other dogs bark at you or try to attack you do not take it personally and remember that’s their nature. Try to feed animals if you see them hungry and help street dogs-cats because they also like to live in this world. I am a person who takes care of 3 stray dogs. My best pet friend is a neighbor’s cat, :-). My home is a place which squirrels and birds make their habitats, and I feed them too. So you also try to be this kind of human it will keep you happy ever.
Try to avoid leather products, animal fur clothes, foods made with animals, games, and activities that harm animals. Avoid all of this and Especially ZOO. Try to protect animals. Train and teach your kids to love animals, show kindness. Always be nature friendly. Animals also feel pain like us. So stand against cruelty. Do not appreciate circuses. Always express opposition to killing animals. Animals can not protest. So some humans go on torturing them, stand against them. Protect them always, because they are the inseparable part of the universe!
