It is high time that we all realize in this pandemic scenario that mother earth is not for humans alone, especially for humans with no sense of humanity. A Google search would tell us the fact that, an elephant gets killed every days.
Surprisingly many MP’s and celebrities have raised their voices against the death of the pregnant elephant which was killed. It was reported that, as she walked on the streets, the locals gave her a cracker-laden pineapple to eat and the fruit exploded in her mouth killing her.
Some people have said that this is not to be seen as a case of stand-alone incident of extreme violence but just a sample of the extreme cruelty meted out by humans to animals. However, this incident has shaken the consciences of people. Hence, it is important that we as humans, at least care to have some learning from the sacrifice of this gentle hearted elephant.
It is learnt that the elephant had suffered serious injuries in her mouth due to the miserable explosion of crackers and she kept on walking around in pain for quite some time. During the time, she didn’t harm a single human being. Even when she ran in searing pain in the streets of the village, she didn’t crush a single home. The Elephant had gone to a lonely water stream area for her last minutes. One wonders what would have been in her mind as she lay calm standing in the water.
To make the vision more definite and sound, how would a normal person react when he/she is in pain? Would we be such a wise headed like the Elephant? Though knowing that the pain is because of a human being and later not harming a single human being, isn’t it something that should bother every living human being? Will the deserved criminals be punished in the eye of the public in the same painful way? Is our law strong enough that to not let such incident happen in future? Or will this just be another incident that will be forgotten eventually? It is in these situations that we wish we had a super hero or who can get justice and brutally punish those who take things for granted!
Let us know that more than the sympathy a small gesture of empathy towards the elephant would make us a little less genre of the human society.
