When people hear a baby cryin, some get irritated while some want to hold it in there hands and tap it gently soothing it off it's distress.
but on the other hand picture some poor calf moaning of the cold freezing winter outside while you are in your blanket having all the warmth.
What do u do?
You get up indeed and move to that poor lil' being outside but not to help it out of it's agony but to shoo it away so that u can get back to your sound sleep and it may go smwhere else and moan in the same pain.,You dont help it out of it's misery but instead augment it's pain.
Whatsoever a bit tantamount event occured a few days ago in an educational institution in punjab. *name not mentioned for legal reasons.*
As the incident reported of mercilessly killing a sambhar to death chasing it for 6hrs. Teachers and students of the institute said that a few days ago, some of 'em had noticed a sambhar in the bushes of the campus,and on the poor being, being spotted again in the campus, the matter was informed to the wildlife department of the institute.
Well, i would like to remark here that a wildlife dept. in an institute is often made to help out the wild animals who once had a place of shelter where the temple of knowledge is now build and may sometimes by mistake enter the campus area which is now deprived from them.
But here it doesnt even seem close to the context, the reaction of the wildlife department was like - half a dozen employees of the dept. holding sticks and stones in there hands and chasing that terrified being to death in the next 6 hrs..
The college authorities remarked "They (wild-life dept. employees) seemed more interested in their share in the animal's flesh rather than catching it safely".
There was no need to kill that poor animal at all and that too after tranquilising it. and Yes, the poor thing was killed just for it's flesh..
Now, that you read it all.. i ask you, who seemed more of an animal there? WE-the people chasing the terrified being or that poor thing who could not even cry for help and mercy?
I need not expalin anything else..it's all like crystal clear. We first cut-off their shelter and then when they roam around us in there own native place,with no intention of harming any one, we chase 'em, hunt 'em down for their flesh!! *Alarming* as it seems!
Shame is the only word i have for people like them!
This was just 1 incident i came across and there are around hundereds alike happening everyday, and they would go on till we let it happen. If someone would have stopped those beasts chasing the sambhar, that poor thing would have had it's life and that too quite peaceful one in some sanctuary or something!
Similar cases have been registered in state of Assam. Consequences to shrinking forest cover and encroachment upon elephant corridors have forced animals to stray into human settlement areas, often attracted by the smell of locally brewed rice beer. During the past two months, herds of wild elephants have wreaked havoc in several parts of Assam. The animals are forced to move out of jungles due to increasing encroachment by humans, leading to these clashes between the wild and human!
"If this is left to move on the same way then, as we progress further towards a developed economy on the stake of our eco-system, the encounters between the wild and the human would be of a common context and something which one should get habitual of!"
