TRY AND IMAGINE

For centuries, animals have been the subject of every conceivable experimentation. Humans might be the most superior beings on the planet, but does it mean we have the right to exploit the rest? How humans have developed to be so selfish and greedy is pathetic and saddening at the same time.

Try and imagine yourself being chained for the rest of your life. 

Imagine not being able to run under the sun and a life where you get no chance to raise a family. Ever had a thought on what happens in a slaughter house? The silent cries followed by painful death. Don't they deserve to live as much as any other living being.  Imagine the terror of the young goats who died for a piece of mutton. Thousands sacrificed in the name of religion, but isn't religion supposed to be all about love and tranquility.

What is the fate of the mother cow who just gave birth to her calves? Are they going to make a meal out of her or is she ready for another round of torture and turmoil? And what about the calves? Will they be forced to follow their mother's footsteps?

What that sinless pig must be thinking when the butcher was preparing the captive bolt ready to cut open its lifeless body? Starved for days, no food and water. They say feed withdrawal prior to slaughtering improves meat quality. 

Have you ever wondered whether the hamburger you eat and the milk you drink are a product of rape and abuse? The little bunnies, the small chicks, the tiny mice, they all have the tendency to feel pain. Humans just cannot go on comparing sizes with the extent of pain an animal suffers. Humans can’t bear even a tiny cut in their skin, then shouldn’t we take a moment and think about the animals cramped in laboratories, whose eyes are subjected to new chemicals and whose skins are scratched and tested upon every day.

What humans are building is nothing more than a stock of suffering animals. Yes, cloning mentally disturbed animals is what humans have ultimately come up with. These genetically modified animals are constantly made to suffer until humans find effective drugs to cure diseases that they themselves have been suffering from.

I ask you this one question - does significantly reducing human sufferings morally justify hurting or killing of innocent lives?

It is high time that we, as human beings stop violating the rights of other creatures and show some concern about our falling ethical standards.
