We aspire to build an animal reserve and a bird sanctuary for homeless animals where we will feed and vaccinate them. We also wish to open a hospital with mobile clinics in order to provide medical help to injured/abused animals.

Using a population of 160 birds, these researchers set up a speed-dating session, leaving groups of 20 females to choose freely between 20 males. <br />

<br />
Once the birds had paired off, half of the couples were allowed to go off into a life of 'wedded bliss'. However, for the other half, the researchers intervened, like overbearing Victorian parents, splitting up the happy pair, and forcibly pairing them with other broken-hearted individuals. Strikingly, the final number of surviving chicks was 37% higher for individuals in chosen pairs than those in non-chosen pairs. <br />
<br />
This research proves again, that non-human creatures too have emotions. They each also have a distinguished personality, and they too deserve the same respect and dignity that we are expected to give to any other human.

The world's biggest animal sacrifice event, held every five years for for around 265 years at the Gadhimai Festival in Nepal; has been cancelled indefinitely by the Gadhimai Temple Trust. This welcome move will spare the lives of millions of innocent animals over coming years. <br />
<br />
<br />
With the Supreme Court of India’s intervention to prohibit the movement of animals from India to Nepal, there was a reduction of up to 70 percent in the number of animals sacrificed from 2009. The Supreme Court’s order resulted in more than 100 arrests of those breaching the order, and more than 2,500 animals saved. Earlier this month the Supreme Court of India issued directions to states to set up mechanisms to prevent animals from being taken to Gadhimai in future and create awareness against animal sacrifice. <br />

<br />
<br />
The origins of Gadhimai date back around 265 years ago, when the founder of the Gadhimai Temple, Bhagwan Chowdhary, had a dream that the goddess Gadhimai wanted blood in return for freeing him from prison, protecting him from evil and promising prosperity and power. The goddess asked for a human sacrifice, but Chowdhary successfully offered an animal instead, and this been repeated every five years since. It is estimated that more than 500,000 buffalo, goats, chickens and other animals were decapitated at Gadhimai in 2009, but in 2014 the numbers had reduced by 70 percent.<br />
<br />
<br />
There were rigorous negotiations and campaigning by Animal Welfare Network Nepal, Humane Society International-India, People for Animals-India and thousands of independent voices against this massacre of animals at Gadhimai. And it all resulted in a tremendous victory for compassion that will save millions of animals now. We can't thank enough all the people and organizations that made this victory possible.

52% of the world’s animals have vanished in last 40 years, according to a WWF ( World Wildlife Fund ) report. The 2014 Living Planet Report stated that between 1970 and 2010, populations of mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish around the globe dropped 52%! Examples of wildlife that are suffering serious population collapse include elephants in Africa which could be extinct within our lifetime!! Marine turtles have seen an 80% drop in numbers. <br />

<br />
The amount of carbon in our atmosphere has risen to levels not seen in more than a million years, triggering climate change that is already destabilizing ecosystems. High concentrations of reactive nitrogen are degrading lands, rivers and oceans. Stress on already scarce water supplies is increasing. And over 60% of the essential services provided by nature from forests to seas are in decline. With 39% of terrestrial wildlife gone, 39% of marine wildlife gone and 76% of freshwater wildlife gone…all in the past 40 years, we are headed towards a catastrophe. Perhaps man will only stop after he has nothing more to destroy, and then mankind will be destroyed too. After all the awareness drives and endless animal safety projects and millions spent for them, animals are still dying, and they are dying faster. Are we really so dumb not to understand that if there are no animals on the Earth, we won’t be here either??<br />

According to the journal Geology, ants may be cooling the Earth by helping trap carbon dioxide from the environment! A long-term experiment tracking the ants’ effects on soil suggests they cooled Earth’s climate as their numbers grew.<br />
<br />
Certain ant species “weather” minerals in order to secrete calcium carbonate, better known as limestone. The process traps and removes a tiny bit of carbon dioxide gas from atmosphere. This ant limestone factory is a small-scale version of the massive planetary-cooling process that takes place in the oceans, known as carbon sequestration, according to a report. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1BiHEDQRhvZkOzZ5Po-XYzFDddR3JPzrdex_ArQI5b4AoE1E4-DpEelUvAUJfDhuvk2SGoZwXmAB8dUNZ0oZvTbdwn6hZ660rUscIngM4Ceg7AnfSsbQbWK8lJvZZY_uO4UhlN6IVJLCs/s1600/Ants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1BiHEDQRhvZkOzZ5Po-XYzFDddR3JPzrdex_ArQI5b4AoE1E4-DpEelUvAUJfDhuvk2SGoZwXmAB8dUNZ0oZvTbdwn6hZ660rUscIngM4Ceg7AnfSsbQbWK8lJvZZY_uO4UhlN6IVJLCs/s640/Ants.jpg" /></a></div><br />
It was discovered that ants were powerful weathering agents by tracking the breakdown of basalt sand. The experiment also shows that ants appear to break down the minerals 50 to 300 times faster than sand left undisturbed on bare ground. <br />
<br />
There are other scientific explanations given in the report about how ants do it. But the important point is that every creature on Earth is here for a purpose. To kill them, eat them and torture them is against humanity and against divinity. God and nature have blessed us with animals to save us from calamities which we must understand and respect the existence of animals. <br />

The elephant was used for begging, joy rides, and performing tricks to appease people for money. He had also been poked with spikes and had wounds in several parts of his body. He had even been fed paper and plastic! The elephant’s taste buds have been damaged and he cannot taste food anymore! Even his digestive system will take a long time to recover! They say he was probably taken from a forest as a calf and then sold several times to different owners! So much for the innocent soul to suffer!! The elephant was crying while being unchained!<br />

<br />
This elephant was seized by the Forest Department from his owner when he could not produce the documents for his possession. But what about those 50 long years that this majestic animal spent in severe abuse and torture? And why couldn’t he be rescued earlier? This incident arouses anger, disappointment and disbelief about the greed of humans who would go beyond any limit of cruelty to inflict abuse on innocent animals for monetary gains. <br />
<br />
What have we come to as a community? Are we still savages? This whole episode is unbelievable and almost ends my hope and faith in humanity. <br />

This unfortunate incident happened in Howrah city in Kolkata state of India. The victim had gone out to feed stray dogs as usual when the murderer came charging at him, complaining that the dogs were a nuisance and created problems for the people. When the animal lover was attacked, the dogs charged at the attacker and he fled. But he came back later, this time with an iron rod, and started hitting the animal lover on the head. This resulted in the death of the animal lover.<br />
<br />

This cruel and sad incident clearly shows how intolerant our society has become of animals and animal lovers. And this has happened in a country which is known to worship animals as different forms of God!! Why kill animals and accuse them of creating a nuisance when we have destroyed their habitat? If we leave no place for them to live, we will have to be ready to co-exist with them. In fact, all the animals want to stay away from the merciless humankind and try their best to avoid them. But with their shrinking habitat, they have no option but to live with us and suffer heavily in return. <br />
<br />
This kind of cruelty and insensitivity is totally unacceptable. The government and the authorities must ensure the safety of animals and animal lovers. How long will animals be tortured and killed for no fault of theirs? <br />
<br />

The death of lions in such huge numbers is alarming. It raises serious concerns about the upkeep and safety of lions in India. Many lions were run over by trains which operate through this area! Many others died by electrocution and by falling in wells! <br />

<br />
This all proves how callous we are in our approach to provide a safe life to these majestic animals. Imagine lions dying by being run over by trains, by electrocution, and by falling in wells! Where are the safety measures? Can't these animals be provided with a safe habitat protected from man-made hazards? <br />
<br />
Animals don't take anything from nature except what nature offers them. They don't manufacture or build anything and don't exploit the Earth for commercial benefits. Yet, they can't live in peace, and have to perish because of the selfishness of the human race. Safety measures must be taken immediately to save these lions from further damage and death. It must be ensured that their habitat is free from trains, electricity and wells...!!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13906039303129787410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1437316042775765312.post-6184798728463362872014-05-08T12:19:00.002+05:302014-05-08T12:19:17.687+05:30Landmark Victory for AnimalsIn a landmark victory for animals, the Supreme Court of India yesterday banned bullfights and bullock cart racing in many states of India in a major step towards protecting animals from human cruelty. The court favored constitutional status for rights of animals like citizens. It said, "Parliament, it is expected, would elevate rights of animals so that of constitutional rights, as done by many of the countries around the world, so as to protect their dignity and honor." <br />

This is a time to celebrate the victory of animals, but how effectively this ruling is implemented is yet to be seen. Because despite stringent rules being in place to protect animals, they are still being tortured, mistreated, traded and butchered. A task force, to implement this ruling, should also be formed to oversee the implementation of this ruling, and the task force should consist of honest, animal loving officers. We hope that in near future there will be more such laws to protect the rights of the animals, and the animals would have more chances of living in peace. <br />

Working in sweltering heat, putting life and limb at risk, the hard working dogs have sniffed out about 221 kg of explosives in the form of IEDs across states in India. But this has taken a toll on them as many of them could not take the rigours of the mammoth task. <br />
<br />
One of these dogs Brandy, a Labrador serving with the Central Reserve Police Force, detected about 40 kg of explosives. Thrice last year, he saved the lives of the security personnel by detecting explosives in the nick of time. Sadly, Brandy died on March 24. According to doctors, the cause of his death appears to be heat stroke. Some other dogs, Pinky and Silky, too died in April this year due to heat stroke. <br />
<br />

Despite the difficulties and the fatalities, these loyal dogs continue to carry out their duties. But is it ethical for the security forces to overwork these dogs so much that they have to die saving human lives? Is the life of a dog less precious than the life of a human? Can't the number of these working dogs be not increased to lessen the woes they suffer at the hands of the people who value only human life as a life? <br />

This time they have tried to burn a stray dog alive! This cruel and sad incident happened in Delhi in India where some animal abusers poured petrol on a street dog and set it ablaze. The dog was rescued by some animal care activists and given medical treatment. <br />
<br />
<br />
What is alarming that such incidents have increased over the past four-five years, and are now reported almost every week. And what is very disturbing is that the dogs are abused in specific parts of their body, such as their genitalia!! The dog which was attacked recently, suffered heavy burns on its belly and testes! This is really sick. <br />

<br />
After so much of spread of education and activism about animal compassion and animal rights and welfare, instead of being tolerant to animals; people are turning more and more violent towards them! Dogs are deliberately harmed with poison, burning, slashing, acid and beating. These cruel actions clearly show a total lack of value of life and disregard for animals as living beings. As a society, we need to learn to regard animals as living beings like us. We need to respect them as individuals as we respect pther humans. Most importantly, we need to learn that we exist on the planet only because of animals. If they perish, we will perish, too. <br />

This incident proves once again that animals have emotions and wisdom, and they have them in abundance. An otherwise ruthless killer or thief might not have returned to rescue his own victim, but an animal did it. Doesn't this prove the need for us to think about animals in another and a better perspective? <br />
<br />
<br />
Animals, like humans, have their own individual personalities, and need to be respected for who they are. More importantly, they are needed on the planet very much for the survival of the mankind, but we humans seem to be oblivious of this vital fact! We are killing animals and cutting trees like we have another planet in reserve to live on! Wake up humans, you have nowhere to go, and if you want your children, and their children, to survive; you'll have to stop killing animals and destroying the ecosystems. <br />

The female dog had given birth to a litter in the area a few days ago and had stayed too close to the eatery in search of food. This enrage the eatery owner and he poured hot oil over the female dog's mouth which killed her. She suffered excruciating pain before dying. <br />
<br />
The pathetic, cruel, barbaric eatery owner should have shown some compassion and given the mother some leftovers everyday, which he would have thrown away in any case, instead he decided to kill her! The growing intolerance, insensitivity and hatred towards animals, apparently for no reasons, has reached alarming levels and ignorant people need to be given a lesson or two in love, compassion and tolerance. <br />

It is very difficult to come to therms with this mindless violence resulting in the unfortunate death of a mother of newly born pups. One wonders what has happened to the society and why can't we let animals be on their own! Animals use the resources Mother Earth has given them. They never try to reproduce anything like us humans. They never pollute, lie, conspire or steal...yet we are intolerant towards them. We need to know and understand the fact very clearly that if there are no animals left on the planet, we won't be here either, too!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13906039303129787410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1437316042775765312.post-5788106066420465492014-02-10T20:49:00.002+05:302014-02-10T20:52:44.346+05:30Woman breastfeeds puppy to save him...In the US, a woman, who has compassion in abundance, breastfed a newborn puppy in order to save its life because the pooch was refusing to be fed from a bottle or have canine formula. This woman from Colorado, posted a photo of her breastfeeding an orphaned four day old puppy on her Face Book page and explained the reason to do so.<br />

She said, "He just wasn't taking it. I didn't know what else to do, I was desperate and I just couldn't bear sitting there watching it die. I never thought I would ever do that. It was taboo to me as well. But I did the right thing. That dog is alive because I took the initiative." <br />
<br />
This act of extreme kindness and courage is commendable and we only wish there were more people in the world today like this kind lady. Animals sure deserve a better life and we must make all the efforts to ensure their safety and well-being. In order to survive on this planet, we need to have animals more than they need us. <br />

So far, the specialized skill for recognizing facial features holistically has been assumed to be a quality that only humans and possibly, primates possess. But the new study proves that the canines have facial recognition skills similar to humans. <br />
<br />
The researchers, led by professor Outi Vainio at the university of Helsinki, tested dogs' spontaneous behavior towards images - if the dogs are not trained to recognize faces, are they able to see faces in the images and do they naturally look at familiar and strange faces differently? <br />

This is merely one more finding by humans about the magical powers dogs have. There are many more to be still discovered. In fact, we still know only a little about animals and the animal kingdom, although we claim to know a lot about them. These findings prove once again that animals deserve our respect and love and must be allowed to live a dignified life.

A tiny bar in Paris's Montmartre district has started offering scorpions and beetles to its customers to have a different taste and eating experience! Grasshoppers, beetles, scorpions and two different types of worm -- sango and silk -- are the latest additions to their fare. The chef says, "There are two textures.... you have the head and the body which are a completely different taste and flavor". The body was "sandy" tasting while the head was "crunchy" and tasted a bit like a combination of beetroot and mushrooms, he added!<br />

<br />
It's a wonder why people can't eat original beetroot and mushroom instead of killing innocent scorpions and beetles and eating them to have a taste of beetroot and mushroom! This is really outrageous! When will this madness of exploiting animal life and nature will stop? Humans are destroying everything on the planet in order to satisfy their greed and whims, without thinking about the repercussions it will have in the long run. We must understand that everything and every creature on the planet has a purpose and if we destroy them, we will destroy ourselves. <br />

People sacrifice animals to their Gods and Goddesses hoping this will bring peace, prosperity and happiness to their lives! How can cold - blooded killing and shedding innocent blood bring peace and prosperity to one's life is beyond one's comprehension!

Every religion is great and gives a message of love, peace, harmony, friendship and brotherhood. All the killings and mass murder of sweet, harmless, beautiful and innocent animals is just man-made. Human kind, which is not kind at all, would destroy everything beautiful created by the Lord. Animals don't destroy anything on Earth. They take only what Mother Earth has to offer to them. In fact, animals make an invaluable contribution to maintain the sanctity of the eco-system which is vital for our survival. We must understand that if animals won't be left on the planet, we would perish too. Therefore, we must not kill animals who have done us no harm. We must not murder them for our beliefs and for merely a tasty dish.

The Blue Throated Macaw, a magnificent bird endemic to Bolivia, the Military Macaw, an albino Chinese soft-shelled turtle with a pointed nose and the indefatigable Iguana...all are available at one click of the mouse!<br />
<br />
<br />
Despite being on the list of International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN ), these animals and birds are being advertised for sale on the internet. Sellers, selling these animals and birds, make use of loopholes in wildlife laws worldwide to sell them and make money. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRebWonitKFZbrv3vQVgntVDpMldPf49_ZQDsiyRogAOCTk1_-27VAlnKsSjzvkl5MyDF_otshsSLXspRcX8WS2s5BjQFkeVzze6yr43ilV237xqgOFnNc3j7N_9fh5Ip3dVEOU-k7p7UE/s1600/Iguana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRebWonitKFZbrv3vQVgntVDpMldPf49_ZQDsiyRogAOCTk1_-27VAlnKsSjzvkl5MyDF_otshsSLXspRcX8WS2s5BjQFkeVzze6yr43ilV237xqgOFnNc3j7N_9fh5Ip3dVEOU-k7p7UE/s640/Iguana.jpg" /></a></div><br />
People buying these animals and birds don't realize that these animals and birds are not 'domestic', and are best left in the wild. It is the role of the government to ensure that these animals and birds are not traded in the blatant violation of law. Even to sell birds and animals, which are allowed to be traded under the law, the government must ensure that these traders are properly trained and have valid trading licenses.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the first place, no animals and birds should be traded at all. Who are we to sell and buy animals and birds? It reminds one of the days when humans were traded as slaves. The best place for animals and birds is the wild and not human colonies, and they should be left in the wild to live their natural lives.<br />

Researchers have found that they could train dogs to sniff out the signature chemical compound that indicates the presence of ovarian cancer with 100% accuracy! Ohlin Frank, a trained chocolate Labrador, has been able to detect ovarian cancer tissue 100% of the time, researchers said.<br />
<br />
<br />
Researchers are using the sense of smell of the dogs to identify the earliest odour of ovarian cancer, a silent killer often diagnosed too late. Cancer cells leave a detectable bio-marker, just as asparagus can affect the smell of urine when eaten. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheHG7xelHDzP0tP3z04s34JC4_maRMWTFaAPjSPyfP2dKVqrAG24iYPH1HVm6ahhxCh6CXux0JnTxBEUudwn5fiPKPVjoEmAD1TxCVlI2Ez-qp6yvC8TFH-K47rcaEnetjN16U29nZFrBa/s1600/057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheHG7xelHDzP0tP3z04s34JC4_maRMWTFaAPjSPyfP2dKVqrAG24iYPH1HVm6ahhxCh6CXux0JnTxBEUudwn5fiPKPVjoEmAD1TxCVlI2Ez-qp6yvC8TFH-K47rcaEnetjN16U29nZFrBa/s640/057.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Researches said that all dogs are really good at sniffing, but part of what gives them a huge advantage over us is the surface area of the olafactory receptors. The dogs have already been introduced to the cancer tissue smell and were taught to sit when they found it. <br />
<br />
All these research and findings prove that dogs have magical powers and they are a blessing given to us by God. In fact, not only the dog, but all the other animals are a blessing with unlimited unexplained powers. They all have a purpose to be on Earth. They contribute significantly to the constant development of the Earth and the environment. It is only the human beings who destroy everything aroud them. <br />

According to the latest census, the number of tigers is increasing in many states in India. But wildlife experts are stil alarmed over conservation efforts, which are hampered by rampant poaching and construction of infrastructure projects in forest areas. <br />
<br />
While the source population has been better protected in most states since 2006, the offspring dispersing to areas beyond the core sanctuary fall prey to human development. But the gradual increase in the number of the big cats is primarily due to some measures taken by the states. Some new sanctuaries have been declared, and they are in strategic locations for breeding and safe dispersal of tigers. <br />
<br />

<br />
There is a lot to be done by the authorities for other animals too. Over 617 national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in India that are home to several critically endangered species, get a very little money each month while the largest chunk of money goes to the tiger conservation fund. While it is very important to save the tiger, it is equally important to save other endangered animals. <br />

And they aren't given by humans! For the first time ever, researchers have shown how dolphins respond to individual names. The marine mammals use a unique whistle to identify each other and respond when they hear their own call. The research also said that bottleneck dolphins use signature whistles to address an individual animal, just like a name. <br />
<br />
<br />
The team of researchers followed groups of wild dolphins and recorded their unique signature whistles using a novel signature identification method. They then played back either a computer version of an animal's signature whistle, or control whistles of either unfamiliar animal from a different population or a familiar animal from the same population. Each dolphin only reacted when hearing the computer version of its own signature whistle, but not to other whistles played back to it.<br />

Dolphins are the divine gifts we must preserve. The wildspread killing of Dolphins in Japan and other countries of the world must be stopped with immediate effect. Dolphins are known to be sensitive, loving and caring. They are also helping human beings in many researches giving invaluable information. Such majestic creatures deserve a peaceful life and must be protected. <br />

While he has been in jail, his family members have allegedly been carrying out poaching activities to carry on the rich family business. Here are the details of his atrocities against innocent animals: <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In the year 1974, this dreaded poacher was caught with 680 animal skins, including those of tigers and leopards. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the year 1975, there was a seizure of skin of 35 leopards, 5 tigers, 2 pythons, 1 spotted deer, 1 Indian gazelle and 43 other animals from him. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the year 1988, there was a seizure of skin of 1998 jackals, 1004 jungle cats, 57 common foxes, 50 red foxes, 45 toddy cats, 25,800 snakes, 19 desert cats, 1 tiger, 5 leopards, 1 wolf and 180 wet jackals from him. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the year 1990, there was a seizure of skin of 1 tiger, 17 leopards, 74 other animals and 30 kg tiger bones from him.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the year 1992, there was a seizure of skin of 31 leopards, 1 tiger, 1 tiger cub, 5 crocodiles, 8 jackals, 1 wild hare and 35 mongooses from him. <br />

<br />
In the year 1993, there was a seizure of skin of 43 leopards, 6 tigers, 26 tiger cubs, 6 black bucks, 3 fishing cats, 2 leopard cats, 3 clouded leopards, 3 lizards, 2 civet cats, 3 hill foxes, 3 leopard claws, 5 jungle cats, 1 jackal, 1 cheetal, 134 other animals, 4681 kg of sheep wool and 287 kg of tiger bones from him. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the year 1999, again there was a seizure of 1 tiger skin, 7 other animals and 5 traps from him. <br />
<br />
<br />
It seems this man was determined to wipe the whole wild life of India out in order to make money. Such murderers of harmless, innocent animals should be put in jail forever so that they can never harm animals ever again. Brutal killing of animals must be stopped immediately and all the poachers must be arrested and given exemplary punishment. <br />

Scientists investigated the bond between dogs and their owners and found that the relationship turns out to be highly similar to the deep connection between young kids and their parents. <br />

<br />
Domestic dogs have been closely associated with humans for about 15,000 years. The animals are so well adapted to living with human beings that in many cases the owner replaces conspecifics and assumes the role of the dog's main social partner. The relationship between pet owners and dogs is highly similar to the deep connection between young children and their parents. <br />

The government agencies and the Indian Army have been carrying out rescue operations to save human lives which is commendable. However, no one is paying attention to nearly 2000 mules and horses stranded in the ravaged area. <br />
<br />
<br />
These mules are used to ferry people from one place to another in the hills which itself is animal torture and exploitation. However, ignoring them completely and leaving them to die of starvation after a calamity of such magnitude shows our indifferent and cruel attitude towards these animals. It proves how rampantly we have exploited the Earth and its creatures for our own benefit. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitlziWLZruOdUwbqhlOIe8vcn2YghfWyFGqyA_CXEkrlrOdC4D5zvqP1Tiudbx03e8I8f0HtFrZRWSSZlEBBnaFyThYVEL-EN3gyx0mXuArW75_mwAeMplVp3EFKL2ai3PjrRDoGLtrDGH/s225/Mule.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitlziWLZruOdUwbqhlOIe8vcn2YghfWyFGqyA_CXEkrlrOdC4D5zvqP1Tiudbx03e8I8f0HtFrZRWSSZlEBBnaFyThYVEL-EN3gyx0mXuArW75_mwAeMplVp3EFKL2ai3PjrRDoGLtrDGH/s225/Mule.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The lives of these starving animals are as important as of humans. Nobody has a right to think that animals have fewer rights than humans and that it does not matter if these mules and horses starve to death. <br />
<br />
<br />
The government and the authorities concerned should immediately start a rescue and rehabilitation program for these animals. In the meantime, they should immediately be provided with food and water. A team of vets should be sent immediately to ascertain that all the injured animals are given proper medical treatment. <br />
<br />
<br />
If we have been exploiting these animals for our own benefit, we must take care of them. We must remember that the life of an animals is as precious as the life of a human being and that they deserve the same facilities which are being provided to the humans of the affected area. We request the government to immediately take staeps to rescue and rehabilitate these innocent animals. <br />

Tigers are mercilessly poached for their skin, claws and bones, all sold for its medicinal value in countries such as China and also in the west. Parts from a single tiger can fetch as much as $50,000 in the black market.<br />
<br />
However, there is some encouraging news. Officials at the NagarjunasagarSrisailam Tiger Reserve ( India ) said tiger movements were caught on camera recently in and around 800 square kilometers of NSTR, which experts said were signs that the population was doing well. At least 5 males and 10 females, apart from 3 cubs aged over a year old were caught on camera in the core areas for the first time in the last few years.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyT2VctaEeCx9QLK4yFb0OGnDjvCPu7M31cwgfwUIGc__64Fqq3-ugBGvOh8uVB1vwONi_-M1g7Rx9ueExBrG7yGxmPMY-qb6xGniUb0GFcYJpbc7Vl2yZ786QCGDM7Lrjg0NFlZN_oVBq/s1600/Tiger.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyT2VctaEeCx9QLK4yFb0OGnDjvCPu7M31cwgfwUIGc__64Fqq3-ugBGvOh8uVB1vwONi_-M1g7Rx9ueExBrG7yGxmPMY-qb6xGniUb0GFcYJpbc7Vl2yZ786QCGDM7Lrjg0NFlZN_oVBq/s320/Tiger.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Buoyed at the good news, NSTR officials said they are planning to purchase 210 cameras so that 800 square kilometer area can be covered at one go. Officials also plan to scout at least 2,000 square kilometres area of the reserve before the onset of monsoon and complete rest of the area later. This scientific mapping exercise is being done under phase-4 of intensive tiger monitoring under the ministry of environment and forests. Experts said special care must be taken to protect the cubs as the mortality rate is often very high.<br />

Bullock Cart races should be banned immediately in India and elsewhere in the world. Bullocks used in these races are deprived of food, water and shade for up to six hours. They are forcefully yanked by nose ropes that causes their noses to bleed and are physically abused in order to force them to run - even when exhausted. The animals have their tails twisted, chemical irritants rubbed into their mouths and jabbed with sharp wires with protruding nails to control their movement. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Tormenting and terrifying bulls into running to make money is inherently cruel and this sadistic celebration of torturing innocent animals must stop at once. This cruel show of violence proves once again how low the mankind can stoop to satisfy their greed. There are other races, by all kinds of other animals - horses, cows, camels, sheep etc; all over the world. Why doesn't man make other men run such races - kept hungry for 6-8 hours, forcefully yanked by nose ropes, and their bodies pierced by spears? Once man goes through this immenses pain, he will understand the agony animals go through.<br />
<br />
<br />
All violence, in all the forms being inflicted upon animals must be stopped immediately by countries across the world. Once this mindless violence against animals stop, there are chances that violence against mankind will stop too. As someone rightly said, "For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love."Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13906039303129787410noreply@blogger.com1
