ANIMAL ABUSE : Another Petrifying Face of the Human Race.
There is more to be heard; the inaudible silence. There is more to be seen; the discarded sufferings.
There are millions of cases of animal abuse at the world level. And they have been increasing during recent years. This cruelty shows that to what extent a human can go, being omnipotent to show his power. I think the subject of Animal abuse is the most ignored issue, hence their pain and suffering got lost in the noises and a section of society does not get aware of the pitiful situation of the animals.
Here are some eye-opening facts of these awful tortures:
#every 60 sec. One animal suffers abuse.
#every year, more than 115 million animals in the world are used for laboratories experiments.
#about 97% of all animals tortured and killed every year are farm animals.
#one-third of parrot species are in danger of being extinct because of the exotic bird trade.
SAVAGERY AT A GLANCE:
There have been several cruelties on animals, say it because of greed for their skin and organs or to feed non-vegetarian or in the name of entertainment or lab testing or for some psycho fun interest. An animal can be tortured in various ways that include the following barbarous and brutal ways of the inhuman abusers; shooting, fighting, beating, burning, stabbing, poisoning, or sexual abuse. Some of the highlighted cases go, Recently in Kerala, a pregnant elephant died because she was feed with explosive-laden fruit.
On 4 Sept 2017: A stray dog fractured its skull after being beaten with an iron rod in Mumbai.
Another awful act, when a nilgai (antelope) being pushed into a pit in Bihar and buried alive got viral.
We actually witness these things in our localities when children throw colors, water and burn crackers on street animals. Even pets are most likely to get abused by their owners around thousands of animals are abandoned when they are of no use to their owners. Somewhere circus trainers use whips, tight collars, electric prod, and other painful tools of the circus trade to perform which make them frustrated and causes internal injuries. And the list goes beyond with many cases.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?
India has enacted some laws, for instance, The Prevention of Cruelty To Animals Act. enacted in 1960 by the Parliament of India to prevent the painful suffering on animals, but still, there is more to be done.
#Teach your children to be more sensitive to every creature.
#Wearing leather, going to the animal circus, and having a non-veg meal can be cut off from our lifestyle, to save the rights of the voiceless.
#Need strict laws to be followed.
#Regular monitoring of the population of street animals.
As there is an old saying that until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains awakened. They are equal shareholders of this mother earth. I would like to end my blog with the message that “All lives Matter”, yes every tiny to tonnes heavy life matters.
What doesn’t matters is inhumanity and cruelty. Yes, we somehow in one another way are partners in crime, to all that happen to nature, to animals, and to the whole ecosystem. We all somehow had let him down who created us for the sake to help other creatures. Wake up your awakened soul and don’t let die that human in you. Give love and be the voice of voiceless beings.
