It is a noble attitude that you feel for others. In the villages people domesticate animals. They have been doing this for centuries. References of monkeys, elephants, lions, horses, cats, dogs, ferrets, squirrels, different birds and of course of cows are plenty in the pages of the Indian Epics named the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. In the ancient literature of any country you will definitely find colorful activities of different animals. Side by side you will learn how they have been killed and tortured again and again. Hunting of animals has been regarded as a kind of sports by the kings and by the people of the aristocratic and affluent sections. Great authors in good number in all countries have described the cruel fun of the ‘Games’.
Indian sages were different. They could not tolerate the din and bustle of the city life and the manifestation of meanness in the attitude of the royal and privileged people hurt them. They, therefore, used to take shelter in the forests. The hermits lived in the cottage and dedicated their lives in quest of learning. Yes, you will find that a good number of animals lived with them.You will not find there any mark of cruelty towards the animals at all.
You know the urban people. The animal world is fortunate as the attitude of the urban people towards them has changed a lot with the change of time although the number of greedy poachers is not less in different countries. Poachers are criminals and laws have been framed by the governments of all countries to penalize them. But this short article is to remind you about the role of some self-styled lovers
of the animals who occupy the headlines of the printing media off and on for their show of compassion for the animals. The suffering of dogs or cats or other pets are not tolerated by them. You will notice that some of them are actually hypocrites. Their activities are pieces of outward show only.
Love for the life is an integrated feeling. It cannot happen that a person lets us know his/her love for the street dogs and that he/she remains indifferent when human beings are being tortured and even butchered. You must not neglect the animals and at the same time suffering humanity must draw your due attention in case they are left to suffer unattended.
