Ill-treatment of animals By Simran
The attitude of people towards animals has been cruel since ages. A recent study showed that 50% of animals are exploited by people for their self-interest. Animals are killed for their fancy and priceless body parts including the skin. It was observed that 35% of people having an indifferent attitude towards animals do not care about their pain and sufferings. They continue with their torture and experiments. Animals are beaten and forced to carry heavy loads. Besides, to add to their woes, 15% of people believe that animals are their slaves. But, men must not forget that animals equally share the mother earth with us. If we can’t help them we don’t have any right to add to their problems.
