A shame for humanity and humankind as a whole
We Indians have always been connected with nature and have worshiped it like God. We have always paid our gratitude to each part of mother earth, let it be any plant, tree or creature and have lived parallelly with them on this beautiful planet. An evidence to this are the various festivals we celebrate as a gratitude towards animals like worshiping bulls (Pola, in Maharashtra), worshiping snakes (Nagpanchami), Gai Gohri in Gujrat and so many.
Nearly 10,000 years ago we humans started domesticating animals along with farming and agriculture. With time we got so connected with them that we started treating them like our family members. That’s why a Dog is considered as “A man’s best friend”, one day your life partner could leave you but if you feed a dog just once, he’ll be your lifetime partner! We have established a relation with them which requires no language to understand each other, it just requires love, affection & care.
We humans are the most advanced and intelligent creature on this planet, and have excelled our brain up to the certain levels. Still, we do not even think twice before killing an Innocent Animal by giving her a fruit stuffed with crackers, who was doing no harm to us and was just in a search of food so that she could fulfill the duty of her motherhood by providing nutrients to the baby she was carrying.
The incident occurred in Kerala when the pregnant elephant had wandered out of silent valley to a nearby village searching for food. She must have felt happy when she saw that pineapple but it cost a life to her. As she ate it, it exploded leaving so many injuries in her mouth and lots of pain, because of the pain she couldn’t eat something and continued starving for days. Even in such a pain she did no harm to the village & villagers, and was in pain for some days, and tried to save her baby whom she was about to give birth after 18-20 months by entering the Villiyar river, and died their standing.
The similar incident happened In April in the same state. Even that elephant had injuries in mouth (fractured jaw), and the reports are awaited.
According to the Indian Wildlife protection Act, capturing, trapping, poisoning or baiting of any wild animal or attempting to do so carry a jail term upto 7 years or RS.25,000 fine or both. But the question we need to ask ourselves is, “Was those two innocent lives worth just Rs. 25,000?” .
