Animal rights? ……eh??
India with its ever growing billions is probably the last place on earth for animal rights activism coz traveling in a local train is a possible human rights violation by global standards. But thanks to honorable Mrs. Maneka Gandhi, who opposes any government’s decision for dealing with stray dogs is what Peta and Animal rights has been reduced to.
When anyone is asked if they love animals, majority of the times “yes I love animals and I make it a point to feed strays whenever I can” is the reply. Enter 21st century India, with its ‘instant’ lifestyle where an Instant good deed is the newest fad. They are practically everywhere, one stays in my building and generously gathers about 15 strays from the locality and feeds them every single day ( one may wonder why he is still single, now that’s a tough one)
Does anyone protest about the fate of hundreds of prime apes, rodents etc being tested by cosmetic companies? Apparently rare prime apes being given lethal doses (LD) to test the toxicity of cosmetics is not cruel enough. Nobody notices the imported leather Gucci bags or the camel leather upholstery in expensive cars because that’s the way it is. All are busy crying their hearts out for the strays locked inside the dog van
