Naive! It Aint They To Be Pity On, But Us ..

Ahh..! It's a Saturday night again. No one actually sleeps on a Saturday night.. not aleast the normal ones. They go out partying, getting stoned, getting high, getting wasted, basically. But, no1 sleeps. Neither would i.. not until i complete this very post. This actually should sound grievy. Not being in a habit to post something, or better say not having anything to post in, made me aware of how i am losing interest in the matter but it's like there cannot be random posts on a topic like this. I know there are barely very few people who go through the whole post, bearing what i write but trust me, usually i myself drop the idea about writing one which people would have to bear going through, but cant help it, so here i go again, reminding us all what we are habitual of doing, and it is these habits that we need to change,and as said "Habit never dies", but i guess can be changed.!

And, where were we? yeah, Saturday night. Am not out partying but instead here with this laptop, one stupid Internet connection which doesn't work no good and yeah expires after every 1 month claiming itself being a hole in my pocket, i miss being out there. I did not think I'd land up doing this at 4 in the morning, but then you know it's time like this when you sit alone and think what you actually think about thinking on such things worth giving a think. It was a Saturday near 20th Feb when as a part of nation-wide protest, nearly 50 people in Chennai participated in a candlelight vigil. It was done in order to actually raise awareness about a string of violent attacks against animals. Rest were out partying ..Actually, the good thing is that, the participants were mostly students and all posters and stuff were created by them and volunteers from different animal welfare organisations, and that the people actually showing concern over the matter were being guided with legal provisions on how to prevent cruel animal attacks.I am actually glad that something like this is happening. This was something good and a positive response to all the work put in by several to spread some awareness about such things and the work seems to be putting up.

But there was another matter i was quite shocked after going through and i bet you too will be. The former Playboy model Pamela Anderson, accused one of India's most prestigious research centers, of animal cruelty, urging it to retire decades old test monkeys and adopt human practices. Anderson said dozens of monkeys are kept in "cramped, barren, and rusty cages for years on end," and appealed for the release of one monkey she said had been suffering at the research facility for nearly 20 years. She saw the matter on some video and mailed a copy enclosed along with a letter addressed to R C Deka, Director of All Indian Institute Of Medical Sciences, India (AIIMS). she wrote "It broke my heart to see the suffering that is documented in the enclosed video" in the letter sent on her behalf by People For Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA), India. "But the animals suffering behind closed doors at AIIMS must endure this nightmare every day." she added. The former Baywatch model says she cried while viewing the video, and described workers "slamming" animals against their wire cages and "taunting" the monkeys by pretending to kick them. Awful! AIIMS officials to this very disgraceful matter said they had not received the letter and added the facility is "state of the art", Times of India reported. More than 40 monkeys and other animals, including rabbits,mice and guinea pigs are caged at the institute and are used in trials for development of new drugs, the newspaper said.
To this -"Indian laboratories are required to rehabilitate animals after three years of research and to provide them with a clean habitat", said PETA India in a statement. Now this is what happens at the government level, in the premises where they talk about taking up strict actions against such activities but after this matter being disclosed at such an extent i guess "What happens at AIIMS doesn't no more stays at AIIMS".

And if this is what happens at AIIMS, we can just imagine what's going on at the other similar places. *worst*. Well, they don't just say to say "what Goes Around, Comes Around" they mean it and the statement holds nothing false. How would people those very same people feel if they are the one's behind those cages and the poor things now suffering taunt them the same way they do? How would they feel if they are experimented with a drug before it is termed a success or failure? How would they feel if they are simply put behind bars for very same 20 long years, away from their natural habitat, their family, their alike?? Questions unanswered! Not because no one has the answers but because no one wants to answer these. why dirty your hands cleaning up someone else's mess.

It's a shame, nation-wide, being accused of something like this and that too for a highly reputed Medical Institute like AIIMS. But why would we care, or why would anyone care. Lets wait for another Saturday, get boozed and continue partying the hell-out and let these beings suffer the same way because we are not yet being affected by crap like this. And if left un-questioned we surely will. Now what do you plan to do? Wake up and ask now or to wait up until you are harmed in no good way?
You must have made hell-lotta choices before , here you go to make one more, all yours, choose wisely ...

Ms. Anderson you did a great job and i hope it does some good to the beings behind the cages! Hats-off.!
