Animal Abuse

It's pathetic on what happens for the stray wild animals which happens to roam around in human occupied places in search of food. It happens so because of the habitual destruction of animals when man tend to occupy and build layouts and mills near forest areas.
Recently a sloth bear was attacked by people from village near Chitradurga and it was almost beaten to death by stones and canes. To watch the scene in news it was heart breaking.
It is only fair that an animal gets to behave like an animal but is it acceptable for people to behave like an animal, just because the bear injured few people? no wonder it finds man a threat and tend to attack.
doesn't it leave us with a question on the difference between having humanity and being wild animals!


On the same news about a boy who was killed in road accident, they blur the image of his corpse because it is unbearable to viewers and it is very sensitive and violent for others. But killing this bear was freely distributed and shown in TV, which was inhumane and strictly unacceptable.
Even after capturing the bear by forest officials people kept harming it with stones and stuff. It may be an animal but the violent actions were not even avoided then, it was laid there, helpless and beaten.

This sometimes makes me wonder, have people have gone soo cruel and have come to a point to enjoy violence out in open!! be it animal or others who are ill treated.

The same people who tend to beat down a wandering wild animal are blind to everyday crimes and violence. You don't find people gathering together united and charging the local thugs or goons! Also a rapist or a child abuser are not stripped out of their skin alive and hanged in local streets for public display as a punishment for their crimes. These criminals and monsters are hidden and protected by flawed law and also by the same people who are too scared to fight against them.
Irony is that these people get the courage on to show violence on this poor bear which happened to wander around a place which was once their habitat, and is grabbed by these men in the name of civilization.

Being human if man can't show compassion which should be the basic human nature then animals are hardly being themselves, which is again better than a man.
