Kerala elephant and Himachal cattle incident - What does this mean?



Recent disturbing cracker filled cruelty have led to raging debate across animal lovers all across the country.

With ongoing lockdown the animals are starving more than humans. This is true of animals living close to human communities like monkeys, stray dogs, feral cats. With starving stomachs the animals are in search of food. when they see a human offering something, they only think that we humans are helping them. But what turns out is a sadistic mentality of people killing these animals by luring them with food.


A even more shocking co-incidence is both the animals are pregnant, requiring more food than they actually consume. Maybe this is what drove them into the midst of heartless humans.

We should condemn such incidents. Physical abuse whether it is a human or animal must be treated with same strictness.

Indian culture sees divinity in every living creature. What is the use if Ganesha (Elephant god) and Gomatha (Mother cow)  are worshipped in the form of rocks and statues in temples not in their real forms?

When contradictions are becoming the new norm, rationality are humanity meet their nadir.
