WE FAILED HER!!!

By: Sushmita Narayan

Once again, we humans proved that we are just a bunch of idiots. I am ashamed of the fact that I am a human and I belong to a race where the humans are constantly torturing and killing animals. It feels immense pain to know that how a bunch of fools killed a pregnant elephant!

Nature is all about respecting every living being, no matter what. Nature has given mankind, the animals, the plants an equal place in her heart. We humans have always thought that we are the superior ones but does this superiority give us the authority to kill anyone around?

In April, a lady in Bhubaneswar killed an innocent pregnant dog brutally and now it’s just been two months and what we found is a bunch of fools from a village in Kerala killed an innocent pregnant elephant. What we know is Kerala is a state with the highest literacy rate in India?? Is it really true? I wonder where literacy comes from? Its proved being literate is sometimes one cannot tackle things sensibly. It seems that people have completely lost it. Who has given them the authority to kill the innocent animals? They could have informed the Forest Department or simply the local cops but what they did is just not acceptable. It’s very heartbreaking to know about this incident which has somewhere taken a toll in the minds of the good human beings around. What was the fault of that innocent elephant can anybody think of that? It’s just that she wanted some food. Is asking for food too much? Maybe, she had paid a high price i.e. her life as well as the little one’s too, for asking for food or just roaming around in the village looking for food and what she got from the locals is a pineapple filled with crackers, and after she consumed that pineapple filled with firecrackers, when her mouth started to bleed and she was in immense pain, she did not hurted anyone back she simply went by standing near a river, where she breathed her last. Her only fault is that she trusted a bunch of morons.

My sincere apology to the gentle soul, that we humans failed her!

All my prayers are with her and her little one. May the God, happily give them shelter.
