      UNTIL ONE HAS LOVED AN ANIMAL, A PART OF ONE'S SOUL REMAINS UNAWAKENED 




Imagine yourself being locked in a cage. You won't be able to stay there after a couple of hours, will you? Just the same way, animals too feel the captivity when they are ruthlessly kept and tortured in cages. If they can't speak, it doesn't mean they don't feel the agony. 
Humans are indeed selfish creatures. Poachers are remorselessly killing  animals to obtain products like fur, meat, ivory and much more. If we suffer the same ill-treatment, we would definitely raise our voice but animals cannot do the same, so we need to safeguard their rights. Animal Rights Activists do raise their voice but that is too weak to be heard. On one hand, our religion teaches to worship cows, but on the other hand, we keep on endlessly slaughtering them. Do you frankly think we are right? Even for the wild animals, we can't keep them at our home so instead we can set them free in forests, why to put them in enclosures in zoos? The Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 in India states to build more national parks and banning poaching or hunting of animals, but the problem is not going to get curbed if we don't take action and simply ignore the issue. We too should be gentle and kind towards animals. After all it is thus truly said by Pythagoras that,"Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul." Even animals need independence.
