Just like humans, animals are created by God. I hope these animals form the fauna of the world. They live in herbs freely, in world forests, enjoying the freedom that God has given them. They eat herbs and other animals. So animals, together with plants form a food chain, they maintain the ecological balance of the nature. Some of the animals like cows, goats and buffaloes are used for pulling heavy load and for tilling the soil. The elephants, though a wild animal is caught, tamed and used in festivals for pulling heavily logs in timber depots. Due to hunting and ecological imbalance some of animals have become almost extinct now like striped hyena, black buck so on.
I hope killing animals is a sin, whether it is for food, pleasure or profit, except for self defence and existence. Many hunters kill these animals for money mostly. Cruelty to animals is also a sin. Hence I feel killing and ill-treating of animals should be punished until it is for self defence and existence. Children should be told not to hurt animals without any justifiable reasons. We have to be kind to these animals. I hope that if they could talk they would have many painful truths to tell. They would have requested or demanded for their rights. Also they could help the investigators or police in revealing many truths too.

Hi SHAMRACK I totally agree with you. Certainly it is responsibility of the elder to be friendly and lovable with animals and send a proper message for the new generation to love and care for other animals as man himself is also one animal and has brains which should be used in correct direction. Almost all animals are good and gental and normally never comes in mans way. It is man who goes off way and then hurt animals. I am of the opinion that man should use his brain to help other animals also. Also as correctly said if animals vanish then it will affect the total ecosystem and certainly it will be the end of life including man. So i think humans must understand their responsibility and help and survive other animals.

You are right. Animal also have right for natural living on this earth. Animal right groups are working to eliminate ill treating of animals.
However hey mostly work for wild or non-domestic animals. They don't much about those animals like goat being reared in firms and killed for human getting human food.

Hello, SHAMRACK.
I do agree with you. I believe that cruelty to animals should be strongly punished. For me, there is no problem in killing one animal for FOOD, and as long as it brings no pain to the poor little ones. People kill animals in excess. Thousands of chickens die daily just to become food, and not all of them are bought. Millions of fishes are taken out of the sea just to go for the table, when at least half of it will go to the trash. We are killing too many animals, more than we need to eat. Not to tell the people who kill them in a painful way, like cutting one leg out and letting it bleed, because "it releases adrenalin and makes the meat more delicious". I'd like to see a man doing that, and I'd cut out the thing that he considers the most important in his body. And I'd let him bleeding. I'd say that the meat will be more delicious when I throw him in the forest, for the lions to eat.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

That's right. There should be a law for animals to avoid some other people from abusing or killing animals. I am so with you. Thanks for sharing.
