Man is perhaps the only animal who ill treats and even kills other animals for his pleasure. He destroys their natural habitats and ruthlessly kills animals for their skin, bones and meat etc. Did you know that countless animals and birds are killed. mutilated or decapitated in the name of scientific experiments, testing and research? Rats, rabbits, birds and monkeys are not only kept in Cramped and over-crowded cages but also subjected to ruthless treatment in a cold-blooded way in laboratories. The poor silent souls cannot even express the pain and stuttering they are subjected to.

Most of them die premature painful and unnatural deaths. Circuses, zoos, road shows, cattle and bird markets are also death traps tor these harmless creatures. Monkeys, bears and parrots are ill-treated by circus people and road side showmen to make money by showing their tricks and antics. Bulls, horses, mules, camels and donkeys are made to carry heavy loads.

We can play an important role in stopping this cruelty to animals. We must join hands to create world-wide awareness for the ethical and humane treatment of animals. We can join protests and rallies against animal testing and launch signature campaigns for this purpose. Also, we must refuse to buy animal products or products which have been tested on animals. We should adopt animals as pets and support animal and environment conservation programmes.
