Restitution to blogging and five toed Pachyderm!

Having being away for a long long time, we're back with some new posts and news related to the success of PETA and several Animal Welfare organizations in various campaigns conducted throughout. And it's a new look, for everyone who was bored with the "Magazine" view of the blog, we're back to the "simple" template and now have the "translate" option interfaced within for spreading the word (on your demand). Language isn't a bar no more. Keep it coming people, we are hearing you out here!

Well, First of all, Congratulations to all of you for having the 13 year old elephant "Sunder " freed from the torment of his "mahout" (so called Care-taker) at the Jyotibha Temple. The 13 year old being was chained in spikes, denied food and water, put under improper and dreary shelters where he could not even take a single step in comfort. And once again our special thanks goes to the former Playboy model and previous Big Boss guest Pamela Anderson for sending in an appealing letter to Mr Vinay Kore, a member of the legislative assembly of Maharashtra state and a leader of Jan Surajya Shakti Party for which we are soon going to have sunder rehabilitated in a wildlife rescue-and-rehabilitation centre near Bangalore.

Yes, it definitely is good for Sunder and we are happy for him. But for how long would we keep watching those mahouts masked as saints torment their rage on these poor beings? Elephants being such godly species and of such high religious importance, it's a shame that they have to undergo such vexatious acts in a country like ours.

This is brought forward just to bring into your notice that next time you pay a "mahout" anything but money, remember what it is going to be used for. Think if it would be of any favor to the massive poor being (the elephant) at all. As long as you pay him, he is going to keep the wild enslaved. And that, sure is in no-one's good intentions.

Elephants have been beautiful fictional character's to alot of your children's childhood memories, well if not then your childhood memories probably. It is simply  clear just give it a thought once and you would know what is right. They don't deserve to be out on the streets between all those honking automobiles but in the reserves where they could actually share their emotions with those alike. Help them just like Sunder!

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.!

Animals!? ..No I Guess We Rather Are Beings More Wild!

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!"
